Random fashion thoughts

What really bothers me is when people are super into safe fashion and get into this "heritage" fashion trend where it's something that's happened a lot in the past thus giving them some kind of perceived high ground about how they're into culture and heritage and not that trendy fashion crap.

Just seems so arrogant and elitist to me just like the stereotypical high fashion snob who lives in Milan and buys a new wardrobe every 6 months thinking people who don't are uncultured slime. It's two sides of the same coin.

I remember watchin some dude defending a marsupialed design flaw in a pair of japanese jeans and flipping out at a kid whose jeans broke due to this design flaw and accusing him of being stupid because he worked at a "fashion" store.

Then people get all into "authenticity" of the old clothes. Why do they have to be authentic? I've seen some dudes get all uppity about a guy altering the fit of his LVCs because he wanted them slimmer but by doing that he was breaking the authenticity or some ****. Why can't we draw the inspiration from the past to create something new? Every single old classic clothing item in existance was once a new thing that was created by the evolution of a previous item of clothing.

If nobody ever took clothing and evolved into something new we'd all be wearing togas or bearskins or something.

Just curious, where did this happen? Reminds me of an incident on here that was about crotch patches...

I'm really glad other people feel the same way. This sorta stuff causes stagnation IMHO

Kinda didn't want to get into actual drama I just wanted to use an anonymous incident to illustrate a common issue so lets all just say it was hypothetical!

lol couldn't be more obvious.

I must not be too picky at all because I see a lot of runway shows (mainly Burberry, MMM, Junya, etc.) and I want to buy just about everything haha.

OTOH, I am picky as **** on fit of clothes now, especially shirts.

prorsum and gucci f/w own me

I was going to say how I thought the new Kapital joints for F/W looked good and post some pictures of it but I guess I won't now.

I contributed to the designer thread thing a while back, after the first few threads the responses were few and far between (potentially the novelty wore off?). Alexander McQueen Fall 2009 Burberry Prorsum Fall 2008 Dries Van Noten Fall 2009 Number Nine Spring 2007 Victor Glemaud Spring 2009 Victor Glemaud Fall 2009 I'd be more then happy to post more and have tons to post, but I'm not sure if many would care if I did, you can check my flickr in the meanwhile, but it admittedly isn't as easy to view as a thread with all pictures in the first post.

Prorsum FW08 is one of my favourite collections ever.

just made like $90 selling old **** on ebay (real old)
too bad that cant' buy me **** in terms of new clothing

I'm in the process of magically turning a closet full of Hypebeast-caliber wardrobe into some WvG chinos. Or rent.

i like having some hypebeast **** on hand. reebok voltrons are in heavy rotation.
