/fa/ - Fashion

Maybe not completely but certainly elements of it

The Continental European school of design is pretty dead at the moment, dont think it will rebound soon.

>>14636058
it was a horrible gay time so probably soon

>>14636058
Hold on I'll consult my crystal ball...

>>14636058
It already is to some extent. Things are trending away from the minimalist/scandinavian interior design style. Urban outfitters has basically killed it. Every college dorm is the same earth tones and little succulent plants and string lights now. There is a temporary trend towards a revival of the Memphis school but that shit is hideous and the only people who like it are contrarian art hoes. And even then its unclear if their appreciation is serious, as they do the same with fashion and purposefully wear awful dumb shit like tiny sunglasses.

If you look at architectural magazines there is a trend in high end retail, art spaces, and restaurants away from open minimal spaces, and towards enclosure and privacy. This means a lot of drapes, darker lighting, better acoustics, and a return to materials like velvet, marble, and metallic gold or silver.

Trendy restaurants since 2010 had been moving towards open concept stuff and now every bar and store has the same sterile "air bnb" lite-industrial aesthetic. The backlash against that will start in high-end restaurants offering more privacy and intimacy. It will trickle down to trends in interior design like darker colors, more closed spaces, textures that look good under soft or colored lighting. Some art deco stuff may be revived but probably not the tacky geometric stuff like that picture.

Though these predictions will probably get thrown off if there is a recession. The last one was awful for culture, as it precipitated the "folk revival" shit going mainstream (mason jars, thrift store finds). The question is how the Gen Z kids will react to an economic downturn given current trends. The rich will continue on the trajectory towards renewed luxury and privacy. Also wouldn't be surprised if old abandoned malls and retail spaces start getting repurposed in more creative ways, but American urban planning and expensive liquor licensing will probably kill that trend in most states, or force it to be illegal.

Based and informative. Cheers, mate. What do you mean by ‘Memphis School’?

>>14638510
Theyre an architecture group

personally i’ve been fond of art deco/moroccan decorating for awhile, but with a “dark academia/boho” style of dress.

>>14638482
Based post. I do hope we move away from the minimalistic empty aesthetics of today.

Literally right now.

Wasn't there a huge Art Deco skyscraper built in Singapore a few years back?

>>14638482
Thanks for the informative post.
>>14638611
>I do hope we move away from the minimalistic empty aesthetics of today.
Me too. I hated that shit, especially in restaurants, long before I could even articulate what exactly was wrong about it and why it felt "off".

>>14638623
I know that there's the Atlas Bar in Sing. that's pretty much become the go to pic to post when someone wants to talk about art deco revival.

>>14638744
>>14638623
Yeah.

And the whole building looks great, not just the bar.

>>14636058
When money stops being a thing.
It really needs to stop being a thing.

Do you think it has to be strictly gold, or would other colors work well too?

>>14638482
If there is a recession it isn't going to be ten percent as bad as the 2008 one. I feel like most people in 4chan's age bracket don't realize that recessions happen every ten to twenty years with a horrible one about every century.

middle parts were big in the 1920's. and theyre coming back right now among normies

Sorry but Bauhaus has been already replaced minimalism and would be hyping among normies for the next decade

>>14639146
really good economic system the world is running off where it just fucking crashes and the rich simply buy the dip and come back on top better than before

>>14639636
capitalism!!!!

>>14639644
>implying there is anything better

>>14639343
You know nothing about economics if you think it'll be worse than 2008. Literally nothing.

I can't imagine art deco office towers making a comeback. Too dark inside, too expensive to build, maintain, and update. Too many interior columns supporting the building's huge weight. I don't see this as a trend but as an evolution in office space usage.
If art deco comes back in a residential way, it's sure as shit going to be expensive.

Celine fragrance bottles have that Art Deco vibe

i felt like socialism was but i finished the doomed city by the strugatskys and now i'm just confused and sad

>>14639670
social democracy would be a start

>>14636058
Hopefully soon, but if not just embrace the aesthetic, be your own man

>>14639542
>bauhaus becoming hyped up amongst normies

Please say sike, I love braun and nomos watches and similar items

Art Deco design is my absolute favorite. The opulent materials, the geometric shapes, soft lighting, rich colors...it's heavenly. Imagine if our modern cities were all built in this style.

>>14638482
as mentioned BASED

Love to see there are some thoughtful people out here in between the shitposts.

>>14641199
it's just capitalism in another form, you're like the boomers who celebrated neoliberalism as a non-capitalist alternative to laissez-faire.

>>14636058
Right now.

I hope Art Nouveau has some presence soon. I hate this boring minimalist shit, I want things to be eye popping and have some layers to it

>>14643601

>I hate this boring minimalist shit, I want things to be eye popping and have some layers to it
This, trying to look for an apartment and it's all boring minimalist crap

>>14643670
Whoever started the beige wall thing at HGTV should be tried by an international criminal court and shot on live tv

The apartment I have now miraculously is painted in actual colors and it's crazy how much cozier it feels than a monotone white

>>14643601
yes please

>>14644407

Hey effay, do you like Art Deco or Art Nouveau better?

>>14645780
nouveau

>>14639240
>art deco is incredibly expensive
My point exactly!
Do I need to explain?

>>14645780
I like them both, but I see Deco as an extension of Nouveau. Surrealism and pop-surrealism too.

Any modern films that have the art deco ambiance?

>>14636058

>>14646020

anyone got more normal everyday house, interior, fashion, and general art deco pics?

>>14638482
Can you rec some good books about this stuff? I want to learn about a th different modern styles like mid century modern, art deco, etc.

>>14638482
american urban planning makes me want to fucking kill myself.

>>14647177
That looks straight out of Fritz Lang's Metropolis film.

if i cut out and install all the hexagons by hand i doubt it will be finished for christmas.
anyone has an idea how this sort of wall decoration could be made easier/cheaper short of just ordering a custom printed wallpaper which will look lame in comarison

>>14647187
cannot decide which one is better
a) mixing art with futuristic / minimalistic / efficient layouts bring more beauty into our actual daily life
b) or just go brutalism / oversized for greater awe effect

>>14647198
I feel like brutalism would be too honest a description of how top heavy culture is managed and directed

>>14641256
>Imagine if our modern cities were all built in this style.
There'd still be bums and trash and graffiti everywhere.

>>14647219
does brutalism always have to come of as oppressive, though? to me, there exists a different kind of awe
>less "this is powerful and i am not"
>more like "this is impressive and i am graced by witnessing such glory"
cant find the picture but there was this soviet monument both artsy & raw concrete, somewhere in former yugoslavia that perfectly expressed the sort of utopic society they wanted to build (or pretended to already have)

>>14638482
good post thanks anon. i've hated that minimal/scandi shit from day one. looking forward to eating carbonara with a cheeky red in a mobster booth with red velvet curtains on brass rings, concealed sound dampening, and infrared LED anti-autometering devices. seriously can't wait.

It is, poor people stick to it like flies to shit

>>14636058
it never left
its constantly referenced and used in fashion you just cant repeat it infinitely with the same motifs

>>14647286
good brutalism existed all over yugoslavia, they really did good stuff with architectural strategy after WWII.

>>14640837
so does Tom Ford

>>14636058
It shouldn’t

art nouveau for life

>>14645780
Art deco for architecture
Art nouveau for graphic design and fashion

>>14647220
A society that valued beauty would probably be less diverse and hence more orderly.

Of course cities always brings atomization which leads to cultural nihilism.

already has, have you seen the visual merchandising style of saks fifth avenue?

soon in the uk it seems due to peaky blinders

i think the 2020s will be a mixture of art decor, bauhaus, 80s and a focus of black and gold

>>14649729
20s would be 20s with all those "smart" techlonologies pushing the market.

It is about to be the '20s again so you may get your wish.

>>14641199
this would be cool but only if the masses were well educated instead of bandwagoning and witch hunting

>>14649854
smart is tech not a style, unless everything is going to look like an apple product from the early 2000s, cause tim cooks a hack who to much of a pussy to change anything from Job, despite apple products in terms of looks are 15 years out of fashion

>>14638482
>textures that look good under soft or colored lighting
In Praise of Shadows is kind of about this subject matter

>>14650018
Social Democracy requires a small, homogenous nation to work

>>14647189
Art deco is not for the poors.

>>14649232
Your buddy Adolf tried that. Remember what happened in the end?

>>14645780
Art Nouveau is obviously superior

>>14647220
I'm not sure that's the case. Even during the Great Depression, hobos had a sort of self-respect and dignity that the modern homeless lack.

It seems that the environment around a person shapes that person more than the person shapes his environment. If you put people in an environment surrounded by ugly, disposable architecture, they turn into ugly, disposable people.

>>14641199
do you even know what capitalism is lol

We can just kill 'em though.

this movie should have been so much cooler

What about De Stijl?

>>14638826
This brings me to a good point.

I think the increasingly influential Chinese investor class will have a hand in shaping urban landscapes to be less minimalistic and more grandoise.

>>14655082
it should have been much more serious and darker imo. the frilliness of it was to a point where everything was overdramatic and no true tragedy was felt. Like i get the 20s were extravagant but it didn't need to play out like a musical

>>14647278
this is more art neuvau

>>14647220
Maybe the bums would think twice about shitting on the sidewalk if they were next to a really nice building

>>14638514

I don't hate Memphis, but it needs to be used in moderation. A complete interior of that stuff looks ridiculous, but some of the objects they made were pretty cool. I like retro futurism, and these guys had a pretty interesting idea of what the future would be.
