Idk maybe it's because I already have quite a few "fashion" friends or acquaintances that work in fashion

I've realized that when interest in fashion is the only thing in common you have with the other person, the relationship is unfruitful and rather empty

And fashion itself can be quite empty in the first place

I can kind of understand why you guys might want to meet up, you might not know anyone else interested in fashion and think it would be cool and / or an escape of some sorts

By all means meet up, I'm sure there are nice and interesting people in the bunch

But just speaking from personal experience. I find "fashion" people to be exhausting and difficult to connect with ESPECIALLY because it's difficult to a) find "fashion" people who are actually interested in it beyond a superficial level and b) actually genuinely discuss it with said person without it turning into a careful exchange of asserting crafted opinions because both parties are very self conscious of what the other person will think of their level of fashion knowledge

Yohji and Raf have both said something along the lines of them not finding "fashion" people that interesting, but rather find peace and inspiration in people who are involved in other areas of art like music, fine arts, or architecture

/rant take it with a grain of salt

Yohji + Rei my 2 favourite designers, need to broaden my horizons because they're pretty much what I've been looking into exclusively for the past year

I see love for Yohji but I see almost 0 interest in CdG here / fashion communities in general, I guess it's a bit too out there for most

Too tired to post anything meaningful but just gonna throw out a bunch of noteworthy Japanese designers apart from the already big and established ones
