/fa/ - Fashion

There is literally nothing wrong with being a normie.

"BUTT MUH SEKRET KLUB"

>>10478919
Then it was not for normies, lmao?

>>10478919
Are you living under a rock? All kinds of normies are rocking Roshes and other similar running shoes (black top, white sole) since like a year in my country and that trend happened after Ricky on /fa/.

>>10478919
This is what late-adopter looks like on that spectrum.

>Oh man, I saw Wassup Rockefeller wearing those, but didn't know until GQ ran an article. I assume we were in the same boat.

>>10478919
Please don't shoot a school up just because you're a loser

>>10478940
Basic popular party normie fit here in my country:

undercut/hy haircut if male
black leather jacket
oversized tee
yoga pants/black jeans (female/male)
black and white roshe type running shoes

these people are everywhere looking like clones of each other

>>10478940
roshes are nikes and never were /fa/ so no shit normies wear them.

but spending too much money on clothing is for normies

>>10478948
Dont you remember the pandemic of Y3s, Roshes and similar black and white running shoes around here? I think it happened after/during the goth ninja phase.

>>10478960
also it was included in the fuccboi fits i think

>>10478950
That was the case from 4000 B.C. to 2000. But sure as hell isnt anymore today. Why do you think fast fashion trash like Primark or Zara still exist? Certainly not because normies spend big money on clothes. Hell, 99% of them wont even know what the difference between a $400 and $2000 suit is. They'll look at you and ask 'the fabric?!'

>>10478960
I hardly saw any qasa when they first came out. Only after Yohji decided to do multiple runs of them did they hit critical mass.

>>10478919
Still can't believe people actually think this shit looks good. There is no way.

>>10479032
I just googled their Facebook and I don't see this post anywhere.

>>10479113
I'm European and I've never heard of this Carson guy but I can still sense the stupidity of most comment.

>>10479119
It's like 10-15 posts down on their facebook wall

>>10479113
this person actually has 0 clue what socialism is

>>10479122
Alright. I'll look again. Never used this site before. I'm sure it's obvious.

>>10478919

What's up with ignoramus fags posting niche stuff on a very popular magazine just because they saw a post about it on the most popular chinese cartoon forum on the world

>>10479125

totalitarianism maybe

but socialism or at least communism would make $1200 shoes extremely inconvenient if all labor is assigned the same value

mostly because ridiculously priced items would just move towards countries without a standard wage

not all socialistic philosophies advocate this but it is conceivable that a publication which advocated both a standard wage and ludicrously priced clothing would be somewhat hypocritical. i don't think that's at all what happened here though. don't people get that magazines have like.. several authors writing articles? is that too hard to understand? and i hate the 'it's all the responsibility of the editor' thing.

Socialism inspo?

>>10479129
I had to make an account to see it. Every single one of these articles have worse comments than /fa/. The "Welcome to GQ, Fox News viewers!" article...what the fuck people. Even the innocuous articles get pic. related type shit.

>>10479032
I unfollowed GQ on everything, they are turning into a worse version of Complex, and Complex is total shit.

>>10479217
they fired the style guy !

>>10479099
Honest question: how can you even press 'Post' re-reading what you just wrote? Someone should get killed because he wrote an article about a pair of shoes I dislike? I mean, edgy meme comments are one thing but this is just utterly fucking retarded.

>>10479243
Murrica fuck yeah!

hi mango welcome back

Those comments:
>I wouldn't buy those on sale at target. GQ has its finger so far from the pulse of their average reader and so far up their own sartorial asses.

I don't even like Geos, but seriously: how anti-art can these commenters be? The whole point of the article was to talk about a high-end item that the readers might not have heard of - to open their eyes to a new horizon.

What do these commenters expect? GQ to write a review of Converse?

>>10478931

>>10479354
>The whole point of the article
Look at this clown. Look at him and laugh. He unironically thinks that people who use Facebook have a functional brain. They see the headline and the picture and comment without reading the article.

I should know, I work part time in social media analytics doing statistical analysis. Even the social media managers are fucking retarded, which forces me to simplify results so much that a toddler could understand them.

thanks anon

It amazes me how much marketing people can make, especially considering that they have absolutely no idea what they're doing half the time. The pay gap between them and, let's say graphic designers should be the other way around.

>>10479134
they saw the rick show where he had women walk the runway with those weird bags, and jumped on the bandwagon.

>No, no I'm not. Allen Edmonds yes, those things you got there are however garbage. Also, I bet those are made in Asia, betting Drew Magary is all over them. #WHATARETHOSE

welcome to 4cha

oh wait

>>10481087
Not really. A marketer sells the product to the people and make them pay attention to your product. All the graphics designer does is make it look good. Most people who are in graphics design receive the vast amount of their ideas from the marketer, else the stuff they created would be too complicated or lack focus. I have experienced this countless time. Graphic designer dont understand how stupid people are, especially the ones on social media. So you need to make shit as simple as possible, condense information etc. Most graphic designers fail horribly at doing that because they lack imagination beyond layers.

>1400 $
What the fuck they retail at 600-700 Euros

>>10481853
that's a relic of when euro:usd was 2:1

exchange rates working in your favor if you're euro-based. assuming, you know, that you have a job

>>10481800

no, they just assume that they are the baseline audience. which is only human, everyone assumes that their POV is the objective POV. like you said, it literally takes specific (marketing) training to start to understand what a low level at which people generally operate

Always gotta keep in mind that 50% of the people are even less intelligent than the average person. But they still have money so you will want to manipulate them as much as possible to pay attention to your products. I mean, look at social media as a whole. A few years back a company was forced to spend big money on TV advertisement if they wanted their audience to see their product because newspapers and magazines simply were too limiting. Nowadays you just publish on the web, basically for free. Its so much easier and cheaper to target all sorts of social classes today, especially the stupid ones because they are the ones who excessively use social media.

At our office no one uses social media privately (apart from the people working in customer support). We just program tools and sell them to companies. Its quite funny, to be honest.
