/fa/ - Fashion

because it's mostly traditional style dad wear. I have some stuff from each of those designers though. no hate.

pleb

Because its mainstream and therefore pleb /fa/ only likes hipster brands

because these brands suck and are mall tier

Those brands are like the awful side of Euro style

Though I own a pencil stripe Boss Hugo Boss suit

we got it 4 cheep

>>6213128
name a "hipster brand" /fa/ likes

>>6213130
Why do their clothes suck? (I understand D&G)... Prada has nice shoes.

>>6213099
bcuz we arent short, fat, balding middle aged who have to resort to flashing shit brands in order to get laid

>>6213132
Rick owens

>>6213139
not really. prada shoes are meh. can find much better.

>>6213139
prada shoes are
actually pretty meh. dont be fooled by the creeper hype.

>>6213171
fucking vietnam shit

>>6213144
>tfw short and balding

>>6213180
wtf this guy has 4 legs!!

>>6213171
But I like their creepers a lot (the single platform ones obvo, not the RIDIC ones that look like stilts)

>>6213180

>>6213144
Why are the brands "shit"... Please provide some kind of explanation. I personally think D&G make a lot of crap, however, Armani etc seem to make good things, only downside is that it feels pleb shopping there...

>>6213212
the design is cool but leather quality wont match other shoemakers.

>>6213180
See those look fantastic, I really do love those

>>6213223
theyre louis vuitton/gucci tier

it's all mediocre quality and played out which is probably why it's not mentioned but if you like the design and don't mind paying then I doubt people will hate on you

>>6213099
I wear Armani budgie smugglers since I only like them and Diesel Hipsters. I also wear Armani tees to the gym because I bought 2 packs of 2 off asos during a sale

>>6213230
Lolwat? Not even close... Not even close... LV & Gucci = no design just stick hundreds of mini logos all over it and sell for thousands.

All these people talking sheet on Hugo Boss, Armani, Prada but without backing it up. Just because everyday people have heard of it doesn't necessarily make it bad.

>>6213099

prada makes a nice cashmere polo I want, everything else listed is gino clubcore. Prada is pretty tight though. I wouldn't list Prada with that other shit.

tfw prada is actually nice

>>6213258
>>armani collezioni
>>mediocre
I bet you don't even own an item of collezioni. Armani is actually pretty fine, as long as you stay away from the overly logo branded AJ styled t shirts and sweaters. Reason that Armani isn't as liked as Rick Owens round here(who really is inspired by mr. Armani) is because /fa/ is fucking hiveminded. Armani is great with black.

>>6213301

ew both of those outfits look ike fucking nouveau riche shit

no Italians here bambino

>>6213301
>armani collezioni
>pretty fine
it's cheap Italian trash. just because you want to suck Giorgio Armani off and dress like a gay bear doesn't mean effay does. Fuck off you fat piece of shit

Hugo Boss is alright, and Armani is borderline alright. The rest are eurotrash and ghetto fabulous.

>>6213328
>>ad hominem
what are you 12? Silly boy

>>6213391
>>Eurotrash
Implying americunts have any step in world fashion and not Italy or France. Oh god this boards is getting so funny sad I'm thinking I'm getting a tripname.

>>6213230
nah
emporia armani and prada are good
not sure about boss never ever seen any of their stuff alot really

>>6213410
it is eurotrash, tho, fucking zegna tier bullshit

Prada is great wtf
Dolce and Gabbana is p crappy (thoug i will admit i like the last women's collec) btw D&G isn't the same thing it's an even shittier eurotrash diffusion line
Armani (the dude) is cool, brand is shit
Hugo Boss hasn't been good since the Third Reich contract ( I am 100% srs)

is Saint laurent better?

>>6213144
you're short though

>>6213099
Mainly because Armani has like a hundred diffusion lines that Euro/Turkish/Persian immigrants cling on to like flies.
Also /fa/ likes lines that innovate and use textures, shapes and motion as part of their story. Since /fa/ is mostly university students with superiority complexes, posters can't afford EVERYTHING designer and typically buy the best basics they can and work toward their dream wardrobe by splurging on pieces that influence their appearance dramatically (denim, outerwear, shoes) while they use what they have to emulate the look they're after. Prada has nice shapes, prints and eyewear, but this board doesn't place much value on those things. With the exception of Dior Homme, the designers you named aren't typically known for that type of dramatic influence. Also some older members are still mourning the departure of Hedi and hold a grudge against KVA.

>>6213177
Raf Simmons as well :)

I've never seen a white person wearing Armani. Only "white" people like Italians, Greeks, Turks, etc.

Hugo Boss is just crap.

>>6213435
obviously
things like raf, rick, dior, ann d and slp aren't part of the malltier category

>>6213456
>autism

Wouldn't say Armani is bad but they're way overpriced for what you're getting. All of the lines are terrible except for Collezioni and Black Label. But for the price of a collezioni suit or shirt you could get something much better. Their suits aren't full canvassed.. and for 2k that's very strange. They're also not vented at all which you could say is a style choice but I don't know many high end italian tailors who don't vent their suits. I like getting Armani stuff at thrifts though because people eat that shit up on ebay.

>>6213476
hugo boss is really over priced, but some boss black slim fit shirts fit me better than any other shirt.

>>6213451
>simmons

>>6213456
u r putting /fa/ on a pedestal
we're not that complex

>>6213456
this
especially because these brands are more known by their logo rather than actual clothes or a style

>>6213289
cool shirt, where 2 cop?

>>6213489
this; I don't know why people are shitting on boss in this thread

their slims are pretty fucking nice

>>6213488
armani suits indeed are terrible, but coats/jackets are OK.

>>6213488
>All of the lines are terrible except for Collezioni and Black Label

Just out of curiosity, what do you dislike about Emporio and Giorgio?

>>6213456
>>6213481
>>6213494
this
for me it's pretty much that everything some black guy would wear with a huge logo on is is a no-go

Those brands have a bad reputation because their most highly exposed price points are associated with conspicuous, charmless wogs. Their couture lines bear absolutely no resemblance to their retail lines in design. The stuff you actually have access to is just generic template shit made in sweatshops with logos emblazoned all over it to appeal to people who like logos.

>>6213456
are the things you lister "bad"?
do you do it differently?

>>6213180
love these

nothing wrong w/ armani or prada
no experience w/ d&g
hugo boss is ok I have a nice tie from them. a lot of their stuff is pretty ugly though... like their sneakers

>>6213435
I would like to know this too

>>6213531
ya much better

>>6213534
i'm thinking of buying a jacket for ~1000 and am afraid of getting something that people buy because it has a logo on it

why do peeps hate on slp

its fooking great

great job hedi srs

>>6213548
Lol fucking sports direct (chav British sports shop) sells yves saint Lauren.

>>6213579
slp =/= ysl

>>6213548
Wow I really like that.

>>6213548
Well, you limited the chances of that happening by buying something that expensive.

If you like the style and if it fits your warderobe, go for it.

hedi way better than Stefano.

>>6213561
Fashion writers criticize it because it's a very different direction than YSL and all those fashion writers are like 60 and Yves is dead now and the change reminds them that they are also going to die. Suzy Menkes, for example thinks that androgyny in fashion was a dream from the 80s that you can't shake the memory of.

Do their opinions matter? we are the next generation of critics, writers, and consumers. The way that fashion "knowledge" will be valued in the future is still unknown since high fashion has developed into this international sensation in the last 40 years that may of today's leaders have been working in the industry. If fashion is like art history or aesthetic studies, we will develop and refer to schools of thought about each collection and its place in a collection. However now that you don't have to be at a fashion show or work for Conde Nast to publish what you think abouta show, reactions are obviously much more varied. Among Suzy's voice are the voices of bloggers, buyers, high school students live-streaming the show and tweeting commentary. If a blogger's voice could become so important, why couldn't ours do the same?

>>6213548
i know what you're concerned about but slp is in a completely different league
there are fuccbois who wear raf simons and givenchy too but that doesn't mean you have to dislike their whole brand

try not to let other people influence you too much

>>6213518
No, they're not bad. I do the same, but writing as "we" felt too much like a manifesto

>>6213561
mostly because it is fairly simple and not very innovative but for me that means timeless

i love the designs too especially the jackets and sneakers

>>6213591
What is SLP? Saint Laurent Paris?

Which is the better branch?

>>6213727
Saint Laurent Paris is YSL under Hedi Slimane.

>>6213522
Example?

Also isn't Givenchy associated with "charmless wogs"? Kanye West isn't THAT charming

>>6213738
Btw is all SLP by Slimane or only the one coming in FW13?

>>6213744
SLP, the rebranded house formerly known as Yves.Saint Laurent, released its first line after the rebranding last fall. It isn't a "new line" or a diffusion. It's a change under the new head designer

The change between spring collections is most noticeable since Stefano's last fall collection is mostly black too, though it lacks Hedi's silhouettes and carefree attitude

havent scrolled thru the shitstorm buut
thsoe names ruined their reputations and brightened their bank accounts by creating a trillion diffusion lines that eventually people with social grants got hold of and it became muddled because pipo based their opinions on those lines annd other things
that armani logo is gaudy imo
prada make nice shirts and textures
hugo boss make ok suits if your on a budget and want a name
d&g well lol i dont like any of their stuff

>>6213793
so all the ready to wear and perma-collection of aw12, ss13 and now aw13 is hedi?
i couldn't find much information on the ss13 collection for some reason. there isn't even a sz thread on it

>>6213811
Shut up meep

>>6213814
fw12 is still pilati
errything 13 is hedi

>>6213820
>he still thinkls im dat fag meep
crying in a corner huh bb

>>6213811
Yes, you're right.

Remember when D&G did that rodeo.brothel collection?

>>6213811
Dolce and Gabanna is so shit...

My friends all laugh at me saying it's just what a "bunch of nerds on the internet think" (even though it's my true opinion that they don't make good stuff) and you shouldn't buy shit nobody's even heard of for so much money... That Armani and Hugo Boss are the best... They take the piss at me buying Rick Owens even though I don't even buy outlandish items.

>>6213099

It's hard to mention D&G when D&G doesn't exist anymore.

>>6213099
Those are brands rich muslims rep

lel, no thanks
I bet you would love to have a gold plated mercedes as well pleb

>>6213835
good lord,time to cancel ftv
>tfw there are girls who dress that way here
thank you based winter
>>6213855
sprry mate could you rephrase all of that not to be rude

>>6213099
>Why is it so rare for people to mention Hugo Boss, Prada, D&G and Armani (ESPECIALLY Armani)?
because they're irrelevant

>>6213855
your friends are full plen

>>6213177
shut up, dumbfuck

>>6213883
>sprry mate could you rephrase all of that not to be rude

My friends think brands like Dolce and Gabanna are the best, and that I only hate them because a bunch of "nerds on the internet" (i.e. you guys, 'cause I say I post here) say they suck.

They say that when people ask what shirt you're wearing you want to be able to tell them it's Hugo Boss or something, not something nobody's ever heard of like Jil Sander.

I am mocked for buying Rick Owens.

They started making clothes for persians

>>6213269
Louis Vuitton = no design
wtfanireading.jpg.gif.biz.wut?
lrn2history

>>6213410
do it, faggot
also, im out of this thread

>>6213522
this.
so fucking this.

>>6214017
We're not talking about what was happening 10000 years ago, we're talking about present day.

LV design:
"Hey, guys, here's a top right... Uhm... Let's stick 100 tiny LVs all over it! Yep! JOB DONE! $5000!"

Whats up with slavs and Armani? Also why do they always wear track suits?

I heard a while ago there was a black market in the soviet union for clothes Due to designer brands being outlawed or something like that.

is there a historicial reason or do slavs just like to wear track suits with driving shoes and flat caps

>>6214140

>>6213501
