Didn't wreck him, or didn't mean to, hope I didn't. I cut a little at the end, but it was surgical.

Good post.

The most useful and enjoyable way I've found to think about clothes is to think about them experientially. What is it like to look at them? More importantly, what is it like to wear them? And then to look at oneself wearing them?

To touch them, to smell them, to reach for a shelf in them, in a humid room, in a chill room, in damp fog, to dance in them, to put them on, to take them off, to have them blown by a passing semi or the subway cars running into a station. To walk the streets at night in and see the streetlights fall on your sleeve.

And fashion then being the cultural system they interface with, part of but not all of the experience, but also the thing that produces it. From the magazines a kid is inspired by to the design school they attend to the studio they work in to the sweatshop or workshop the garments get made in to the shop they're sold in to the Fijian CGI board fuccbois call them memeochrome on.

Yes! Probably the greatest designer ever.

Good info on his work from a quick Google for people who don't know.

>regurgitating

Most knowledge is "regurgitated." Shoulders of giants, citation pages, all that. Being an original expression isn't the same as being a useful one, and TBQH posting substantial original ideas on 4chan is not too savvy. It's asking to get them jacked or you discredited (for plagiarism, not for 4chan) if you ever take them elsewhere.

I hate Fuuka, as useful as it is.
