now I want to know! who cares? all my opinions are half-formed, inchoate, quasimodo. or did you mean unINformed? in which case, who cares? all my opinions are uninformed

I don't always love his runway shows, but when I see the stuff in person, I almost always like it.

At college there were a few Malaysian students that were Muslim and the girls lived on the floor above me next to a bunch of my friends, so sometimes when I was hanging out on the floor I would pass them on their way to and from the shower and they wouldn't have their head scarves on and one had this really sweet smile because she got all giggly when she walked by

she was in undercover

Do the hips on the Givenchy FW09 jumpsuit-thing bother anyone else?

 

Really wish Rad had continued on in the vein of Rad Hourani #7 and Rad Hourani #5 instead of branching off into the also-weird diffusion line.

Bringing this back from the dead - HuffPo just published an interesting retrospective on how the fashion industry has become commercialized in the last ~20 years.

^That's pretty interesting. Fashion has certainly blown up. Makes me wonder if, had I been born twenty years earlier, before there was so much hype around clothes, i would have been interested at all. In part it's the hype that makes fashion into entertainment rather than just clothes, if that makes any sense. On a related note, the piece shows how New York has changed too. Odd to think Barney's used to be on 7th and 17th st., where Loehmann's is now.

Dude, it's way more popular. Look at the hype around Target collaborations domestically, the prominence/prevalence of H&M / Topshop / Zara GLOBALLY, the popularity of project runway and all of that stuff

Yea, I can't agree with KingJulien's claim at all. Just look at how much more attention is devoted to menswear now then there was even ten years ago, or the very existence of #menswear. Hell, MFA is a good example - reddit, the site that started in the world capital in terms of PhDs per square km now houses one of the largest fashion communities on the internet.
