Good thread, sadly nobody here cares about actual fashion.

> who are some of your favourite designers ?

Glitter was the best Rick collection.
I also really liked Diors latest show

Highland Rape, Voss, Black Palms
Best moment in fashion history is the ending of Voss.

It's going in a poor direction

Fashion is art, not only a way to get laid.

>>14486993
>WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE DESIGNERS?
Yohji is my number 1 followed by probably Geoffrey B. Small, though conceptually, Kawakubo is my favourite.

>WHICH SEASON(S) DID YOU FEEL WERE PARTICULARLY STRONG + FAVOURITE COLLECTION?
Recent: CDGH+ fw19, CDG ss19, Undercover mens ss20, Yohji mens fw19, last two years of sacai, GBS womens fw19 (pic related)
Historically: CDG womens fw92, ss97, ss07, Yohji womens ss02

CDG womens ss97 is also the one that truly sparked my interest in fashion so yeah I would say that is my favourite.

>WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION MOMENT?
I feel like you need to have followed fashion for a long time to really know it, but the reactions to Rei, Yohji, and Issey's Paris debuts in 81 were really intriguing to read about. I have only been seriously following for a few years now and still have a lot to learn about.

>WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EVENTS IN FASHION?
^

>WHAT PERSONAL DEVELOPMENTS HAVE YOU MADE IN FASHION?
I'll be studying fashion business at Polimoda this year, really excited. Also have been writing about fashion in my own time.

>WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR IN FASHION?
Once and for all moving away from streetwear, it was exciting for a while to blend high fashion and streetwear but they're both better when treated as separate domains.

>WHERE IS FASHION HEADED RIGHT NOW?
No idea.

>DO YOU LIKE WHERE IT IS HEADING?
Yes and no. Yes because good fashion is still being created and appreciated. No because celebrity worship and politics in fashion is getting worse than ever. Also not really 'fashion' but at a bottom-feeder consumer level, fashion is still trending towards insanely harmful ecological practices.

>>14487635
>Also not really 'fashion' but at a bottom-feeder consumer level, fashion is still trending towards insanely harmful ecological practices.

This is something that has also been on my mind. It's getting harder to find cotton clothing as it's being replaced with polyester, and the fast-fashion business ensures incredible amounts of wasted garments. What do you think needs to be done to reduce and eventually eliminate environmental degradation?

>>14487622
this, i wish the no gf retards who cant pull off sexcore would just fuck off back to r9k

>>14486993

>>14487660
is this the same collection as pic reated?

>>14487654

I've been consciously thrifting and focusing on natural fibers to reduce my impact. I don't want any part in chocking the oceans with Chinese plastic.

Remember when Vivienne Westwood was good?

>>14487685
yeah same for helmut, margiela, mcqueen and many others :/

>>14487622
before realising that art like all activities are to get laid. yes sex is human endgoal and the yohji pants stay on during sex

>>14487696
Who even are their target audiences? Also D&G had some good seasons until the mid 2000s

>>14487862
yeah that's true and these days newmoney chinks and hypebeasts

>>14487670
no

>>14487654
For fashion in terms of clothing for practical usage (not high fashion/runway), the idea of buying fewer clothes that are of lasting quality needs to return. We've been spoiled by the double-edged excesses of capitalism resulting in massive over-production of short-term-use clothing in the form of fast-fashion. My main gripe with the current trajectory of the sustainable fashion movement is that the end-goal seems to be to make our gross over-consumption ecologically bearable, instead of reducing our consumption in favour of longer-lasting goods. Making our clothing bio-degradable, our materials less synthetic, our businesses more cyclic is all helpful, but the fact of the matter is that we are simply producing and consuming too much. At a cultural level, we need to reject our current mode of fashion consumption.

I'm actually working on an essay about this right now, I'll share it here if people are interested and the thread is still up by the time I finish.

Personally, I do basic things like not shopping at fast-fashion/ultra-fast-fashion and paying attention to brands' stances on ecological issues. However, we need to understand that fashion will always be wasteful, there is absolutely no such thing as 'sustainable' clothing in the sense that we can reduce our clothing to its original components. For that reason, I would rather buy beautiful and lasting clothes selectively and infrequently, even if they aren't the most eco-friendly. Note that most of my wardrobe is still basics, mainly from Muji and Carhartt.

>>14487622
>Fashion is art
lol

LOOKING FOR BRANDS/DESIGNERS WITH AN EASTHETIC/PRICE RANGE SIMILAR TO TWELVE PIECES. Can anyone help?

>>14487654
Thrifting is probably the best thing you can do. Other than that.. Yeah, just don't buy fast fashion. When you buy new pieces, do a little research where the fabric came from. There's only so much you can do, really.

SS2019 was a flop and looks like 2020 will be the same. Anything you boys looking forward to in the coming seasons?

>>14488212
>Arabic text printed on basic blanks and weird self unaware cape

*yawn*

>>14488495
Oh shut up. If this was "basic" or whatever, I would have already found other brands.

>>14487622
galliano is based

>>14488339
HE had some cool fabrics this year looking forward to see what other kinds of fabric they come up with

someone knows where is this from?

>>14489158
Gucci FW19

>>14487532
highland rape was unrefined, when mcqueen revisited the source material in widows of culloden in 2006 it was a much better collection and a much better show.

>>14487622
>fashion is art

no its not why do u retards keep trying to force this meme

>>14487635
miyake first showed in paris in 1973 its ok though if youre at polimoda youre already miles ahead of most of this board.

>>14487685
westwood has always been a corporate manufacture, she and mclaren are the least punk people on the planet made some neat clothes though :)

>>14489289
My mistake. I just knew they were the first three to really bring a Japanese take on fashion to the world stage, though Kansai Yamamoto is often left out for some reason

SOSHIOTSUKI is probably my favourite young label right now. They haven't shown a 2020 collection yet but ss19 is really good.

"Launched his own label 'SOSHIOTSUKI' in 2015, and his second collection was shortlisted for LVMH Prize 2016.
The design philosophy of SOSHIOTSUKI comes from a personal interest in Japanese classical performing arts, he transformed that idea of Japanese traditions into fashion with detailed craftsmanship for tailoring technique."

>>14488030
I agree with your statement about changing our consumption habits and putting an emphasis on long lasting products rather than cheap and flashy. If the thread is still up, please post your essay when it's done, I am definitely curious to read it.

>>14488030
I would like to read that essay pls.

Unique shirts are perfect

George Harrison had it

>>14492358
Oh, George, if I only inherited your wardrobe...

I almost bought this jacket once, since i don't think i could pull it off. Still like it though. The brand is Habsburg by Schneider, they make clothes for royals and old money elite in europe.

>ACTUAL FASHION
This thread's posters are absolute garbage

>>14492417
contribute what you consider actual fashion then instead of projecting your own pleb tier taste you could contribute instead of being a little worthless bitch

>>14492420
ok lunarchan I know you're still mad that I called out your absolute shit taste on last thread. You don't have to be mad

>>14492433
i'm not mad, and the pic you posted must be bait or you have the same taste as that ultimate cockmuncher you just posted a picture of
>stupid cross necklace
>2007s height of fashion longline tee shirt with ditto minimalistic print, finished with an edgy asymmetric hem.
>analbead tier wristband

also not lunarchan from last thread. so typical when shitposters calling out "garbage taste" they are in fact referring to themselves as evidenced by your picture. die in a fire.

Welcome back. How long is your leg anyway

>>14492589
Well I wear 28x34 but no stores have that so I really wear 30x34. So my legs are like 34 I guess

Bode is a brand that I’ve never even heard of until I saw their latest show on Vogue Runway’s Instagram but I fucking loved that show so I’m dumping pics of it

>>14492385
I want Guidi boots so bad sucks being a poor uni fag

The show has some sort of African inspiration to it but done in a way where it’s not completely gaudy and doesn’t look bad or out of place on white people

>>14492620
Bode is based. Berry nice stuff.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Moschino.

it's this kind of look that makes me think that i should be putting way more thought into matching fits with my skin color (pale/sickly grey). those colors match his dark skin so perfectly. whenever someone black wears "jewelwave" it catches my eye

>>14488030
Also interested in that essay !

How do I go about following actual fashion? I'm really interested in it but don't know where to start

>>14494952
Start checking out different fashionweeks quite a bunch are livestreamed or are in youtube

>>14492354
This is excellent

>>14487532
Trash taste, trash opinion. Stuck in the past get over yourself.

I'm pursuing studies in fashion, left my previous degree to pursue it,( idc how foolish a decision it was). Also looking to enter styling or such as a side thing.
>WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR IN FASHION?
As >>14487635 looking to a shift away from streetwear, hoping I can be a part of that.

>WHERE IS FASHION HEADED RIGHT NOW? DO YOU LIKE WHERE IT IS HEADING?

Currently it's headed in a rocky direction, the line between streetwear and highfashion is becoming more and more blurred each day and it's honestly bad because the distinction is becoming harder to tell. More so, many brands selling out or becoming shitty to hop on trends.

I occasionally see nice pieces from brands I like but I'm indifferent on it as a whole but the direction gives me an uneasy feeling.

Haider at Berluti was pure kino.

Did anyone cop those Ann D wool trousers Igor posted for $200?

Love this. Sacksuit tailoring done well.

Here's the article for anyone who wanted to read it. I'm not a professional writer at all so don't expect a full journalistic investigation

>>14498288
great article m8

>>14498243
nice

Where do you shop for clothes /fa/?

>>14489925
kansai and kenzo are often overlooked because theyre a bit middle of the road and conventional. yohji and rei were entirely different to what rhe 80s were about. no glam no colour initially. it was black and white rags basically compare that to mugler or claude montana and its easy to see why they got the reaction they did.

>>14492355
stupid and almost always impractical because they are very rarely lined to cut costs cause the designer blew his entire budget on some expensive knit

>>14492450
prada, ann d is for gays who think its the 18th century.

Supreme is my favorite designer he is the goat

Naw actually though i keep up with current fashion a lot and im aware of archive clothes and all that but dont know where to start with learning about a lot of its history

>>14500768
There's no correct method of going about it. Personally I just found what really intrigued me over time and then looked further into that. Like all history, it's impossible and simply not fun to learn absolutely everything so just start by finding out what you're interested in

for me I didn't understand what the fuck CDG was meant to be so that's how I got started

>>14500128
Kenzo i agree as being more conventional, but i wouldn't call Kansai that, his work was quite out there but you're right that it's the colour and deconstruction that separates him from Yohji n Rei. Idk i think it's just a shame, sometimes it feels like he's completely forgotten.

>>14500263

I like that looser fits are becoming more popular, it allows for more creativity in silhouette
