Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

After the chunky ugly dad shoes trend, I can understand placing a small wager on dress shoe/sneaker hybrids being next (I think they already tried that with a few things?).

Prada is also making stuff like this, even more distorted tho.

wowwowowo.
DVN is a treasure.
Margiela is a dumpster fire.

"I love Hitler," Galliano said in a video obtained by Britain's Sun newspaper. "Your mother, your forefathers would be f---ing gassed and f---ing dead."

1) do you wear burnt orange?

3) chicken sandwiches. CFA or Popeyes?

Derek doesn't live in Austin or the South for the simple reason that you can't wear clothes in either of those places.

Hitler fetishist at most.

I live in the south and own 20 coats and jackets and I agree with you

On a less creepy note, why are Margiela doing this

Like who has taken it upon themselves to just ruin their footwear in the past 5 years or so, either making monstrosities or tabi everything

Hot Take:
Margiela = bad

WTF fellas? I personally contacted Galliano to design these for me

most of these people's legacies, Galliano, Margiela, etc, are built on the womenswear side anyway. it's hard to judge them on their menswear collections because menswear is such an afterthought. and menswear is often much more restrictive in terms of what's considered to be "good design."

but yea, galliano margiela is often awful. raf is often terrible. demna is far and away the worst.

As long as it's expensive.

 

[g transistor]

yeah but what about the designers at Wings and Horns

 

[michaellosauro]

Looking for some heavy casual pants for winter. Thinking relaxed, pleated, textured, tapered. Would be worn with boots, chunky sweaters, duffle coats, parkas, etc. Any recommendations?

I know that ads keep the lights on here but GOD DAMN these are the ******* ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen

Fair point.
I've never looked at Margiela womens but I also can't really imagine Galliano showing restraint. And I dislike Margiela enough that I have no desire to actively go and seek womenswear.

I wouldn't say I blocked you because you're a virgin. I blocked you because you're annoying.

oh no =[

Galliano's Dior stuff was really good. But again, all womenswear side. The lavishness of those designs plays better in that sort of field anyway, whereas men tend to be more conservative.

Similarly, Margiela's stuff often works better on women. Tabi boots are a perfect example, even if I wish we as men could wear Tabi boots. Those flat pattern leather jackets I posted in the leather jacket thread also work better on women.
