Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

Any recs for a black leather lady-backpack I should be checking out? My wife wants a Coach one, but after checking them out in person, the zippers (which are prominent) seem kinda cheap. I’m trying to convince her to look elsewhere....

Want Les Essentiels or Haerfest?

I've accepted that fashion is kitschy.

thanks. the subs for both sites are pretty pricey, but i guess the readership is small enough and the reporting important enough for the model to work.

Redef.com is a good aggregator for fashion stories.

The fashion law is great.

I read textile insight when it comes out and there's few other industry papers that seem to show up at work. It's mostly B2B stuff and probably of little interest to most people.

How do I view all photos in a thread? I haven't been able to access this feature since the implement of the new UI.

You can't AFAICT, but maybe @LaGuy can add this feature to the french contractor's queue and we'll gain it back in 2019

It's incredible how fashion mags and blogs have convinced women that they can wear a played out motorcycle jacket with any and everything. Those and aviators always pushed as classics which incidentally look horrid on every woman I've ever seen them on and all but two guys, brad pitt and tom cruise.

What was that one trend where guys were wearing mc lite fits with some type of streetwear jacket? Was it ma-1s or something else can't remember.

you don't have to like the look, but as long as they look fine, is it really a big deal?

it's not like they're dressing for you or SF

Weird. IME aviators are just about the most universally flattering shape for any person anywhere. Also, they cover your whole eye, which is pretty cool if you want to block the sun.
