Is this present Margiela's status? I'm late to the game, and would like to think this is against everything the label stands for. I thought the elbow patches of last season was a nice touch. Their clothes fit me and I like wearing it. How do I reconcile their artistic spirit with this music video?

Hook:
We all in Margiela
I'm the new Tony Montana nigga
These niggas is jealous
They just can't understand a nigga no

haven't seen anybody post about this? what does this mean for the brand? in what direction is YSL going to go?

They don't need to pay Hedi a few million a year to reproduce Kurt Cobain clothes from the thrift store on la brea and make "the best" skinny denim pants

He's set them up well to continue doing what they're doing until it's unpopular, at which point they'll hire someone new to change directions and he'll still be remaking his mid 00s Dior homme collections for whoever wants to fund his habit(s)

serious question

why is this forum against kurt cobain clothes from the thrift store

while purposefully ugly supreme running shoes are considered cool

do they not share a common ground in forced apathy

supreme hasn't """""sold out"""" in the way that in-n-out burger hasn't """sold out""""

maybe they don't have any desire to expand in any momentous way, but they're still doing serious numbers

I absolutely agree with the degradation of a cultural/political figure into shallow imagery, but at the same time I don't think the intent is to necessarily strip them of any other connotation or their personality -- it's simply the act of being inspired by a particular side of the figure. I think a large number of brands/designers are totally guilty of this, not only speaking of SLP here. While it would be nice if more of the reference were fleshed out and incorporated for relatability and "honesty" I don't think that presenting a reference to the image side of a figure is that harsh of a crime in a primarily aesthetic/visual work (ignoring Slimane's views, I agree with everyone else on that). High fashion obviously can and should be used for more than a visual statement.

But with that said I'm in the minority for liking SS16, it's one of my personal favorite collections. I can understand why some would be against it but I love the juxtaposition of "Kurt Cobain clothes" with deliberate construction and highly polished presentation.

I guess the closest thing that I can relate it to is the idea of post-skate. Skating/snowboarding fashion to me was whatever was cheap and my parents were willing to buy me from Zumiez in middle school, and now I'm still wearing $65 Vans but with $200 jeans and UC jackets (insert expensive Supreme collabs and whatever niche Japanese designers you're into here).

They should stop making such flammable shirts!

My shirt caught fire once, I'm just thankful I wasn't wearing givenchy at that moment

How flammable is standard 100% polyester? Should I be very afraid when wearing vintage 100% polyester sweaters?

gap outlet kids pajamas are usually sold with a big tag that says "WARNING THIS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE" or something to that effect. great warning to see on your toddler clothes.

the problem with fashion is that i have only one body to wear clothes on

yo I saw you on that meetup thread and was wondering what bag you were wearing it looks sick

Wikipedia is really lacking when it comes to fashion brands and designers. I'd consider starting to edit/create them myself but I don't know where to start with Wikipedia and I'd need sources. I might start trying to find sources and see what I can do from there.

I just got a pair of drop crotch tapered jogger/sweat pants any they're AMAZINGLY comfy af! Wow. I might have to expand my steez to incorporate more of wearing this.

speaking of leaving high profile jobs, is there a topic here for people working in clothes/fashion, from independent designers/student, to retail on upwards? is there any interest? i only ask because i need help with my resume (now that i've realized my dream job is a NiGhTmArE)

Every time I browsw a WAYWT thread I feel like there should be a WAYAWT (what are you actually wearing today), thread.

That's a weird thing to say because:

1. How do you know everyone's not going out in what they post?
2. Pedantry aside, why does it matter? If it looks good, it looks good.

Sorry, didn't mean to be presumptive. Just meant that in my case, when during bad weather/rushed for time/feeling braindead, I wear almost the same thing every time (parka, sweats, sneakers). Would like to see what others wear in similar situations, as in what they look like if they threw on the most worn pieces in their closet. Was also addressing other waywt threads where they it's not as casual as this one and stuff, not that the folks in this one don't look great. I understand this depends on culture, what people do for work/school, where they live, etc. Didn't mean anything negative by it.

every time i browse a what are you wearing today thread i think

i wonder what that person wishes they could be wearing today

who would they be

i would be a gangster of love

wearing bernhard willhelm

somewhere in montana where i own a bar that serves three cocktails and homemade cider and is bring your own food

people will bring in lots of slow cooked food

most of that food will be terrible

this made me sad, it's a pretty good rule of thumb that anyone who references ayn rand unironically is a fucking idiot
