/fa/ - Fashion

The knowledge and understanding of fashion on this board is too low. That is the prime reason for it being bad. It wouldn't matter if everyone was from r/streetwear if they had actually become knowledgeable too but right now the amount of people who are interested in fashion but don't understand it well enough far exceeds the amount of people who are interested and understand it well. To attack this we need to help as many as possible learn as much as possible.

There are two good ways that should both be done at the same time. The sticky should be revolutionized, and good posts should be made by those who are knowledgeable. A good sticky will inform and put new people in the right mindset, and good posts will steer the entire discussion in good directions.
The sticky I don't know how we can change it, many attempts have been made but I feel powerless, I don't know if we can get an admins attention and cooperation. It would be super if we could accomplish something there though.

A good post is constructive and including but not afraid to be direct, and it is also expected from people receiving the eventual critique that they control their cognitive dissonance and don't freak out when they dont get only love and approval like on reddit. And good posts discuss fashion as an objective artform after qualities such as silhouette, material, cut, proportion, styling, craftmanship, texture, colour, mood, cultural inspiration and cultural relevancy, and also vision and direction. And a good post makes abstractions based on these factors so that other people witness these thought patterns and learn to understand fashion after its objective factors and qualities, not just thinking of fashion as dressing up in what looks good to yourself. Make good posts.

Good moderation is also heavily needed. Shitposts should be kept, it's part of the atmosphere, bait should be removed though. Shit threads should be deleted.

Semantics! The people you're all trying to make is just that UNIQLO is affordable and mass produced.

What I meant thought was nothing about Lemaire is particularly unique which is maybe what I implied with "interesting." I just mean, there is a certain feel to this clothing, but the Uniqlo U doesn't seem to have any of that. Like you can barely tell it's his. I would have expected at least some more relaxed fit pants
