/fa/ - Fashion

Oh well, that's what I get for posting as soon as I wake up. Into trash that tripcode goes.

I'm honestly not so sure my opinion on him is relevant just because he's instrumental to a lot of Japanese streetstyle I have liked over the past 4 or so years (five now?) he's been putting out material. I feel like a lot of designers like Dada function more to extract "raw material" from cloth/leather/etc. so the Japanese fashion scene can compose it into something "finished." I think there is a strong /cgl/ impulse of coordinating and composing along these lines, which is no surprise seeing as they share sub-cultures that intersect with Dada's mainstays. Japanese designers in particular are very good at deflecting hasty criticism in this way. The street always decides their fate.

I'd be interested to hear if there is, at all, local criticism of designers of this nature. From my position, again, I'm not sure if what I could say matters to what is made of his work in Japan.
