Random Rhetorical Hypebeast Fashion Thoughts

Been seeing way too many people with janky granny shoelace knots.

I start a job with a business casual dress code soon. It's a conservative company and the employees aren't very "fashion." I obviously can't stick to my regular style...I guess I just want to fit in? I went shopping today for work clothing and realized that even J.Crew/Banana Republic would be out of sync with the rest of the company. In an ideal world I'd be wearing sheath dresses, blazers, and heels, but most women wear cardigans, khakis, and flats. Blahhhh this isn't a client facing job so appearance isn't super important, but I don't want to stand out because of what I wear.

Is there a work appropriate clothing thread?

Queueing for Maccys when a wavey kids ask who makes your hat, only for them to get excited when you tell them and confirm their suspicions.

V surreal, quite nice all the same.

some time lapse videos of fashion shoot retouching. of particular note is that they add pores to videos 2 and 3 instead of removing them.

Rick Owens Lilies is sometimes translated as Rick Owens Lilith which seems both more and less appropriate at the same time.

Screech owl Lilith?

i think long hair on me looks great, but fuck this texas heat is killing me. I would love to grow it longer and tie it up, but i thinki just had bad timing with it.

y u blaming him?

[bels]

He's not blaming him he's blaming L V M H for being corny.

[oucho]

you're allowed to blame someone for sucking

[ramseames]

You're trying to blame him for the fact that other people like his work.

Getting up in arms about the fact that he has a merc shows its more personal to you than just "LVMH is making the wrong choice"

If he was pretending to be poor and destitute and making clothes in a hole with cash advances on his parents credit card to make himself appear more in need that would be disingenuous. He owns a car. He uses it to move things from place to place. He's open about the fact that he's already been quite successful.

what we should be focusing on is how terrible Jacquemus is

All that winning the lvmh prize means is that lvmh thinks you have a scalable (read: profitable) label.

Faustine probably meets all the qualitative criteria but she's not particularly scalable. Wouldn't be surprised if Virgil wins. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the designers no one is talking about wins.

(It also don't matter)

Faustine will be fine or she won't be fine.

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if Virgil won, it might not appeal to c-t's demographic but Pyrex/Off-White are super popular. $100 screenprinted champion blanks put him on the map, in a twisted way that's a serious achievement

it might be a hard pill to swallow but there are times when artistic integrity takes a back seat to profitability, even in high fashion

besides, Virgil has branched out from basic screenprinting to some extent, his women's designs are a lot stronger than his men's stuff and *artsy-fartsy high fashion* is growing more and more popular with the rapper set, so off-white and yeezy x adidas might become more like OG Lang/archive Raf and less Diamond Supply Co.

virgil abloh is extremely talented, i have no idea what the competition is like but just because he doesn't fit into your paradigm of what contemporary or 'authentic' fashion is doesn't mean he's there by chance.

I refuse to believe Raf doesn't personally design every Raf x Fred season.

I bet it would warm his little heart to see me trying to score polos off some tkmaxx huxster who has listed it on eBay for 30% of retail

So ya

Dunno where else to post this but look at this sick as hell white mountaineering x barbour blazer coat? It's dope. Felt tanky but that barbour oiled material feels wicked gross. Dunno why people wear it. Does it break in or something? Also I hate barbour but you know whatevs.

Still cool jacket.
