I'm actually scheduling an interview with him right now. If anyone has questions they want asked, let me know.

I'm a big fan of his work, his personal style, and his IG page. Since he's been designing clothes for so long, I'm planning to ask him the usual questions around what he thinks is the future of brick and mortar, the middle price tier of fashion, and sustainability/ the pace of fashion. If people have other ideas for questions, I'd love to hear them.

I've listened to his interviews on podcasts with great interest over the past few years. I'm not sure if he's answered these, but I'd love to hear his thoughts on:

- what are the considerations he applied at a&f that allowed him to make preppy or prep-adjacent clothing, at a company steeped in elitism and stigma, while the current prep revival is being heralded by POCs? (I believe he touched on this with TF pod, but I don't think he went in depth)?

- how does a big brand truly pivot to incorporate a new style while not seeming like they're riding a trend or losing their core customer?

- does he like working for a large brand with a lot of sway/cache (club Monaco, a&f) or a smaller brand/company?

- does he see his next move being an in-house designer, or on the retailer side?

- if he had to design his own eoynomous label, what would he make?

- how have his positive IG posts impacted his outlook on life and on his career?

- how should a newer brand approach finding their voice/customer if anything goes (big flat now)

The only memories I have of A&F was always thinking that the store at the mall was dark as **** and I couldn’t see the colors correctly. Also their “Cali” shirts were popular with Colombians in middle school cause of Cali Colombia....many many Pablo Escobar jokes ensued

This is the most Margiela thing Galliano has done in my opinion...a dust bag...shoe. Make it a non tabi boot and I’m in

 

[feliks]

do they come in square toe for that real howard hughes drip?

 

[RegisDB9]

A white Margiela box boot with the dust bag used as a sock...

Yes, absolutely everyone on earth thinks of fisting when looking at beardy baldies.

for me is akin to wearing a fleece vest on your face

I've been watching something on Hulu and I keep getting this Brunello Cucinelli ad.
Listen, if I could afford Cucinelli I think I would also be paying 5.99/month for Hulu premium and avoiding these ads in the first place.

Why are all the chelsea posted suede and around the same colour? Is it some fashionbro mindmeld?

You got something against suede??? :/

I like RM Williams for traditional outfits, and then Blundstones for workwear.

What's your opinion on these instead of blunnies??? I don't mind Blundstone, but they're kind of a uniform here for people who aggressively don't care how they dress
