the undersleeve extends into the side body with an incorporated gusset panel, which allows the sleeve to cut incredibly slim without sacrificing the wearer's range of motion; it also helps to prevent the hem from lifting when the wearer lifts their arms.

>but is it necessary?

if not, then he needs to cultivate genuine talent and let them work. that's how rei operates, and that's why cdg is among the most important labels of this era in fashion, because it's pumping out genuine innovation and routinely changing the landscape of the fashion world. ford can't touch that, he can never touch that.

> Tom Ford doesn't at all, his work enhances the individual instead of making the wearer a showcase for the clothing.

i find this insulting tbh, as if one type of design somehow compromises the wearer's identity and somehow tom ford celebrates it. horseshit. tom ford shits on your identity, he demands that you become a fruity dude bro. there's no room in the ford universe for *you*. this is totally at odds with rick's wholly inclusive universe.

>Sorry, but I think you're just disregarding my whole point.

no, your point is that the value of ford is the vision that he brings to the table. i'm asking you what the intrinsic value of that vision is, and you're dodging.

>They can't be compared, as I said.

sure they can, this whole thread has been comparing them. rick and carol have extensive technical backgrounds that give them the vocabulary to be genuinely innovative, they can fundamentally change their clothing as much as they want to because they have the skill to do so. raf doesn't know how to do so himself, but he knows how to bring in people who do and he's usually pretty good at working with them to realize his vision. tom ford can't even rise to raf's level, and that's why i've called him a hack.

add to this the misogyny and the plain shitty character and it's incredibly easy to dismiss him. i am very comfortable with my choice in dismissing him.

mark up is pretty similar across the industry, although a mark up of like 2.5x or so makes a bigger difference when you produce something for $600 or whatever.

no they haven't.

why not? plenty of designers do really creative takes on the tshirt. i have an ann dem tank that's cut on a twisting bias, so the grain changes throughout the garment, it's basically like one of her eveningwear gowns shortened in length. i have a rick tshirt that's drafted w/ non-euclidean geometry, cthulhucore shit m8.

based rick and his pivot sleeves
it will slowly fray thru as you wash it if you don't finish that gusset
you should leave it with rick's goat sleeves imo

most people treat gussets as a way to add ease rather than a way to add shape, so it seems counterintuitive to use them in a tailored garment

cool, so you know exactly what is going on in the minds of every single person who buys fashionable garments. it's not likely that the clothing meets our taste, our standards for design objects, and fits in with our lifestyles, because then it would be reasonable and that doesn't jive with the narrative that your insipid trolling hinges on.
