/fa/ - Fashion

some BBS, some rick mainline, givenchy sneakers (hideous IRL), givenchy jackets, DH, SLP, raf simons ect

I saw the fakest geobaskets ever today. i sent a snapchat of it

>see them from a distance
>oh man those could be real
>walk up to her, smile
>Hey, are those real Rick Owens?
>She looks really confused and quickly says yes
>look down
>crosses on the tongues

I wouldn't call her out on it though. that'd be shitty

b-but i own rick

>>7684823

lmao maybe they were rick x chrome hearts

Fake supreme, guidi backzips, but the dude was at barneys and a Canada goose parka. Sucks living in the middle of nowhere.

>>7684843
fake ones are much more common than the $4-5k chrome hearts collab...

>>7684823
that's awfully nice of you

One of my coworkers has a Rick shirt and a few of my friends and I wear some designer stuff and, like, Acne. I live in a very unfashionable city though so I rarely ever just see someone wearing designers.

>>7684823

and that is why you re a virgin

>>7684823
did you take that pic with a potato

>>7684843
this but there are fakes of the chrome hearts collab too

>>7684859

i know what you're getting at

>>7684776
calfskin geos

on a fucking snowday

no idea what the dude wearing them was thinking, he probably had cash coming out of his ass though

ive seen some real gothninjas in soho; not like i can identify anything in their billowing black vortex of black layers but i'd assume everything was authentic

>>7684854
And how many fakes with crosses on the tongues are common?

>>7684863

it was a video, and snapchat really kills the quality when you save it

>>7684866
do you now?

>>7684872
elaborate

I live in California. Around here people are ridiculed for spending more than $40 on any piece of clothing. Everyone wears mom jeans and t-shirts (that don't fit). Sometimes I'll see people layering with a sweatshirt they picked up from Goodwill.

I see cdg play all the time, supreme, I saw some dude in the city dressed head to toe in drkshdw

>>7684890

here in georgia ur ridiculed for not wearing bootcut jeans

>>7684880

it's pretty evident that my whole persona is not being an ass on 4chan

you're offhandedly implying that I try too hard to "be nice"

>>7684870

you wish

>>7684927

based off of not being*

I live in a province state in mexico so there's not a single thing here in regards to fashion, except some pieces me and a friend buy online (Jeremy Scott, Yeezy IIs, the Beyonce Surfboard crewneck); but i've been to the US and seen some Been Trill around. Not that wow, but eh, it's something.

i live in manhattan so a lot

>>7684927
not really

it may be strange, this being the internet (and 4chan), but i'm actually being sincere

all that crap spouted by dfw really is getting to me

>>7684969
>>>/hypebeast/

Quite a few, especially last time i visited Hong Kong. Saw some guy wear Ramones in a slick monochrome fit. H-hope he d-didn't catch me mirin on the escalator ;_;7

>>7684927
why are you so defensive bb? and why the online persona thing? why not just act like yourself?

Thom Browne

Engineers aren't very /fa/. The rich Asians just wear raws.

>>7684776
Saw some white ones on Oxford St the other week. Fit looked like shit tho.

> Austin TX
> Formerly MFA

never seen anything remotely /fa, but i see dudes in raws/clarks desert boots/and uniqlo button down every day.

>>7684823

>h-h-h-hey a-a-are those real ricks owens?

fucking spastic who would even ask a question like that

I've seen a guy wearing Rick while looking in the mirror.

>>7684873
much more common considering you can still buy them today

>>7684910

Yesterday at a music festival I saw a dude wearing ramones and an HBA long sleeved. I also saw a dude in rafdidas sneaks.

>>7685005

oh, sorry then.

>>7685023

i'm just kinda insecure, that's all. a few anons have made fun of me for making a concerted effort to be open and honest

>>7685157

lel poor word choice of "made fun of me"

one time I met a goth ninja
>in the supreme store in la with my hypebeast friend
>friend goes to check out
>guy in front of us is a 6'6 skeleton of a japanese dude with hypebeast gf
>he i draped in 1 rick shirt and a damir shirt over it
>has pod shorts and all black geobuckerds
>want to complement him on his shoes but he only speaks japanese
I didn't know those people even existed

>>7685163
fuck it who cares mang.

Also I'm kinda tempted to get the camel fake geos. I realized the other day I wouldn't give a fuck if I saw someone in fakes so why should they.

Are they real leather?

>>7685187

either a really poor leather, or some 90% polyurethane 10% leather mutant blend.
only one way to find out i guess

>>7685187
>Are they real leather?

For $45? Of course not. Whatever material they use, it looks like you can rip it apart.

>>7685219
The way I look at is that the quality is similar to nike, just a different style sneaker

I saw somebody dressed full goof today at my university, but I'm a fuccboi and couldn't identify any brands, other than what looked like an Ovate hoodie because of the huge hood.

>>7685257

Where do you go?

Saw my first goofninja irl here in Seattle the other day. He was wearing Geos, but I couldn't tell what else because it was night. Pretty drapey stuff and a nazgul hood. You see plenty of interesting people on Capitol Hill, so it took a second to register.

>>7685271
Haven't seen goes in seattle yet... Except for my own dream boxes :(

>>7685266
University at Buffalo.

>>7685187
i don't have anything against fakes. the only problem related to them is that, since they're cheaper, they are more prone to being bought and worn by style-less fuccbois. so when they have "geobaskets" being worn with their cheap outfit it's easy to deduce that the shoes have to be fake.

basically, if someone has the style to pull off real geos, then they can wear fakes no problem and no one will be able to tell.

>>7684823
What if they were the chrome hearts colab :o

>>7685307
>then they can wear fakes no problem and no one will be able to tell.
This is wrong. Not only do they look off to begin with (toebox being the biggest giveaway) but they age like shit.

>>7684776
>99% of /fa/

>>7685382
Dressed by the internet.

>>7685409
Funny how people make fun of basic type clothes and turn around to wear the same /fa/ uniform

>>7685382
I AM THE 1%

>>7685382
>>7685468
yup. im willing to bet the same people who drone on about how rick is unwearable ('goth-ninja is a subculture...') have never actually seen it in person

>>7684890
You must live in some shitty area son because in the better parts of the Sac area you only see that shit on socially inept highschoolers and children.

>tfw i have pieces from both rick and raf

raf simons rick owens usually what im dressed in

>>7685499
you think people would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?

>>7685499
Some of it is unwearable, at least from my experience. I've bought and returned Rick clothes. Kept the Pod Shorts and shoes though.

>>7685509
ive seen some nf X supreme backpacks and i think they were real

although i saw the fakest supreme box logo hoodie. i could tell cause of the rest of his pleb outfit. dad jeans more like sad jeans

>>7685526
some of it is more wearable than others but I think in general most of it's pretty wearable. He does make great dropcrotches though, I have the glossy cotton long ones from island.

>>7685499
I have seen a lot of Rick in real life. I have put it on... Many pieces are unwearable in public.

Okay, not true. It's WEARABLE, but pretty strange (for example the skirts), and personally I prefer casual inoffensive style. Once I have run out of things to buy I will probably get the STANDARD Rick uniform... Earthy color long tee, black sweatpants, long black hoody, dunks... But I don't think I'd really venture too far into it.

Depending on which store you go to, you will encounter different "types" of Rick. As an example, I live in London, if you go to Selfridges, all the Rick Owens stuff is extremely wearable and not OTT... However if you were to go to Dover Street Market you would begin seeing the skirts and weird-feeling leathers.

Also I am actually quite certain that if A$AP Rocky didn't do that song, Rick and Raf wouldn't be such a meme worshipped thing here. Almost 100% positive.

>tfw own pieces from Saint Laurent, Burberry Prorsum, John Varvatos (main line), Dior Homme, John Galliano, and Lanvin

>>7685555
Why did you buy John Varvatos and Galliano? Isn't it pretty shit?

What Lanvin do you own? I kind of like Lanvin but every time I see their stuff it's not all that great for some reason.

>>7685561
>the skirts
>not wearable
L O L mayb if you're a manlet

you're right that different stores stock different types of rick though, and yea that meme was spammed ad naseum at its inception and was a catalyst.

>>7685561
ya and if tyler didnt name drop supreme it wouldnt be as big as they are now huh?

same with kanye and every designers he dropped

its just a rap song where they talk about how much money they have

>>7685590
to a certain extent this is also true. cuz like... sz and sufu were on the rick train long before asap

>>7685600
a few members here were on it too, but it wasnt as much of a topic of discussion -- at least how I remember.

>>7685590
It seems rather coincidental that the song says "Rick Owens, Raf Simons, usually what I'm wearing" (or whatever) and they JUST SO HAPPEN to be the two most popular meme-ish designers here with that exact line spammed at least a few times daily.

>>7685157
please don't stop being open and honest. it's rill good.

i do remember asking you if you get off by helping people, though. that was funny.

>>7684910
Person that actually lives in Georgia, that is bullshit.

I've only seen supreme, acne and MMMs

>>7685631
autism... raf and rick go together like coke and hookers.

>>7685600
>>7685631
obviously since so many people listen to their music theyre gonna be more aware that those brands exist. it doesnt change the fact that they cant afford it/are too pleb to actually wear the brands

>>7685652
that being said I kind of hate most of the new raf clothing and the velcros and the rafdidas. the rafasics were kind of cool I guess. raf and rick are part of the same movement though however different their aesthetics may be from season to season

>>7685660
songs dont cause people to blindly buy shit. i didnt spend thousands of dollars on rick and raf cause of a fucking rap song.

>>7685700
pretty sure he's talking about the change in boardculture here, which was indeed influenced, fam.

>>7685720
my b

>>7685720
>that picture

I almost choked on my food laughing.

>>7685720
fuk this du

>>7685728
>u will never eat a banana while looking young and restless n a man skirt

>>7685720
I bet he's enjoying that banana.

>>7685693
describe this 'movement'

>>7685740

He was thinking about you while devouring it slowly.

>>7685499
my friend, I think the intention of that post was the opposite

rick in person is very underwhelming and I imagine the majority of rick supporters here have never actually handled any of it

>>7685763
the entire move towards avant-garde 'high fashion' stuff and away from traditional / heritage customary things.

>>7685766
I think you're right that a majority of people here haven't handled rick... but you have no grounds to say rick is underwhelming -- or if you do i'd love to hear your explanation...

>tfw no more skirtspo pics besides rick's runways

>>7685766
>>7685499
i doubt either the people sperging out over how good rick is or sperging out over how unwearable he is have ever handled it

hes a designer, just like any other designer, not a shitty meme on /fa/
>>7685561
>Also I am actually quite certain that if A$AP Rocky didn't do that song, Rick and Raf wouldn't be such a meme worshipped thing here. Almost 100% positive.

lmao

i remember listening to live.love.asap when it first came out and thinking "oh rick owens thats the dude with the twisted up native american face that /fa/ is always talking about"

he was spammed on here waaaaay before asap rocky

>>7685780
a lot of raf is still influenced by traditional influences?

>>7685786
I think the single peso was leaked way before livelove was even released... at least when I heard it there weren't so many people talking about him, then in a few months time or so it became an meme and people posted that retarded picture of asap in a manskirt at mtv or whatever that show was.

>>7685796
a lot of raf is still influenced by traditional influence, it wasn't really my intention to imply otherwise if you're trying to make a point with that statement.

>>7685811
yeah i might have been wrong on the timing, it might have been just peso and not live.love

but im pretty sure i saw rick on here before i saw asap on here. same with the white raf velcros, all his early shows as well 2000-2005 or w/e, nothing to do with asap i dont think

>>7685766
>>7685780
I think some people here are a little obsessive with Rick for whatever reason and think that his clothes hold some magic power or some fanboy shit like that. Then they finally see it in person they're disappointed when they don't burst into tears at the pure beauty. If you actually have a brain you'll realize before you even see any Rick pieces that clothes are clothes and it's ridiculous to think his are going to be something life changing.

I didn't really like RO all that much until I saw it in person actually. He's still not my favorite, but I can really appreciate it now.

>>7685837
yea. there were a few threads on rick owens before peso or livelove. I know Marcus had posted pictures of himself wearing it way way before that.

I never really remember raf threads, but I probably wouldn't because I never really liked raf that much. some of his pieces have been good but in general.

>>7685871
Yea, there are some people who just follow the bandwagon, but there are a lot of innovators and experienced people who come to this board. I burst into tears at the pure beauty of ricky every time I see it though.

>>7685570
John Varvatos is probably the most wearable out of the brands I typically buy from. You're average fuccboi can't pull it off though, you have to be confident in your stride. He sells some nice leather jackets, they'll cost you like 5K though.

I have some Lanvin sneakers, two shirts, and a light weight windbreaker. They all fit amazingly and look brand new all the time.

>>7685891
i'm pretty sure even your dad could pull off most varvatos. it's overlicensed as hell, I see it in nordstroms and places like that all day long and those silly converses. I seem to remember seig practically jacking off to them like way back.

How do you like the lanvin sneakers? I never really liked their design, only their dress shoe design really. All the rest of their stuff is top notch imo.

>>7685157
you're one of the good trips cosmic

keep it up

>>7685929

thanks

>>7685910
Lol even Rick Owens can be found at Nordstrom. But for me personally I like John Varvatos because it's laid back and a little edgy at the same time. I don't like looking like I put a whole lot of thought into my outfits, like dadcores or goofninjas do. It looks like they're trying too hard, and it's because they are.. Lol.

I weary Lanvin sneakers when I go to parties or am going to have a casual dinner with someone. They're not for everyday, that's for sure.

>>7684776
Geos, Saint Laurent duffle coat on some womanlet lel, good amount of non black or white CP's, Kenzo sweaters, some Zegna and Brioni and Saville Row suits on fat businessmen, and a ton of CDG chucks (everywhere now). Oh and some MMM GAT's with the paint splatter.

>looking at my geos, yohji pants, and rick parka this very second

I used to hit up a store in Copenhagen all the time with tons of Rick, Damir Doma, MMM, Helmut Lang, etc. The people that worked there were usually draped in goof.

One guy had geos, another guy had a bunch of DD kicks and y-3 qasas.

>tfw not in Denmark anymore

Fuck I miss that store. Plus they always had sick sales and I'd get mad Rick and DD for so cheap.

>>7685959
you can dress gn and dad without looking like a tryhard....

nah, the look like they're tryin' 2 had to be Stylin'OnU.. imagine them in a car, in a taxi, or on a bus. evn worse, imagine them sitting in a classroom/lecture hall... lmfao.

>>7686054
meant 4: >>7686033

>>7686054
I mean sure they'd look like the coolest people in the room and not blend in with all the people who cant dress themselves but I hardly see how throwing on some dropcrotches and a shirt constitutes trying hard. If anything, to me they look so comfy that it would look like they weren't trying at all

its not like rick doesnt print graphic stuff too, or you couldnt just throw on some trainers with your dropcrotches...

>>7685700
>People come to this board for the first time learning to dress
>Every day: "Rick Owens, Raf Simons!!!!!!"
>Newbie starts buying Rick and Raf

>>7686113
>newbie starts buying rick and raf
were you not here for the part of the thread where we were discussing how 99% of the fuccbois on fa aint even handled rick?

>>7686079
True, and to be honest most of the time I don't blend in well either. At my school (UCLA) you either have fedora STEM's who look like walking autism, or you have fuccboi Koreans who wear Giuseppe Zanotti sneakers and Givenchy tops.. Lol. Usually I too am wearing all dark (black) colors like your pic, so I don't blend but I do lol, if that makes sense. Saint Laurent is my current obsession, I just wish it went on sale a little more often (like how Rick or Lanvin do).

Calling Rick unwearable is just an admission of a lack of perspective. The womenswear is rooted in couture and neoclassicism and the menswear just follows suite. DRKSHDW is a combination of punk, metal, and hip hop uniforms in sturdier fabrications.

Rick's look has been *endlessly* copied, especially in womenswear where now literally everyone is doing the wrapped cardigans, the biker jackets, Levi's has aped DRKSHDW's denim washes and literally every women's label now does some piss attempt at bias jersey, at every level of the industry.

If you don't realize that Rick's aesthetic, defanged and sterilized though it may be, has taken over the fashion world, you need to close your browser and get the fuck outside.

>>7686212
What was the point of posting that?

>>7686204
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good...

>>7686217
What was the point of posting that?

>>7686212
he didnt mention whether he thought it was good

he said it was popular

to argue the people saying it was unwearable (unpopular)

but thanks for butting in your shitty opinion that no one cares about

>>7686217
>>7686241
>all of these people who actually like Rick Owens
Lmfao.

>>7686172
I hear you on that philosophy. I graduated already, but I remember how it was when everyones wearing uggs and northface and sperry's and the neckbeards and etc.

Hedi is a mad genius, his pricing, his marketing, his aesthetic. He's a great judge of selling the shit he knows people will actually want. That being said I think the collections / runways he did for dior were better. them jeans incredible though.

>>7685780
>the entire move towards avant-garde 'high fashion' stuff and away from traditional / heritage customary things.
i don't agree with this at all

when was raf (or rick) traditional/customary/heritage????

>>7686271
you're mis-interpreting I think. They were never.. As designers and following the lead of mmm and helmut (and probably others) they moved away from that aesthetic. They all had unique high fashion aesthetics

>>7686150
But they get into it regardless. Also where did you get that "fact" from? How do you know 99% never handled it?

>>7686204
Thanks for the interesting information, but in terms of proving a point you've done nothing. Also, just so you know, people say mainline Rick is unwearable not DRKSHDW which is far far far more acceptable to walk around town in.

>>7686414
Is rick your secret club or something? Most of the people I see posting in Rick make it look at least decent.

The statistic is made up, someone else just said it before me and it made me laugh bc of the old 1% /pol/ joke when obviously its a much broader stretch than just 1%..

The way i'm judging (and im assuming others are using the same heuristic) is through how many people say they don't own rick and how many people in the waywts dress like fuccbois w 'poorninja' stuff and how many newfags there are on this board in general.

>>7686464
waywt is a poor representation of the board not everybody posts on there and it's usually people wanting feedback

>>7686424
Yeah, it's not like pointing out that literally the whole industry is aping his look proves that a lot of people like it and wear it. Not at all.

>>7685157
fuck what others say. I like your fits and your personality.

>>7686479
waywt alone is a poor representation of the board.

>>7684872
>tfw I will never be achieve final form and be unidentifiable in my billowing black vortex of black layers

>>7686505
i'm getting there. reach for the stars anon. good feels constantly

>>7686013
nag people the store is called, owner is so cool i love chatting with him bout fashion.

>>7686498
>>7686479

How can you say it's a poor representation of the board?

Its the only representation of the board

What have you seen from this board that shows it contains better dressed people than the average WAYWT poster?

The stuff you see in all the staple threads like Recent cops and such all contain the same general goods that the WAYWT threads contain. I'd say the people that post in those threads make up the general demographic of /fa/ browsers, with excellent anons being the black sheep

The Waywts are very accurate representations of the board. The board is in general, extremely divided in taste, constantly full of shitposting, full of ignorance, and with the odd gem that shines through

I'd say that also perfectly describes a WAYWT here

>>7685313
Ha, what. I go to Buffalo too and never seen anyone except the asians dress decently, and certainly not in goofninja, that's crazy.

>>7687238

i agree that waywt is the only representation aside from recent cops. A lot of the other stuff is daily fluff and stupid arguments.

I generally dont mind aesthetic threads (interior design, the rare architecture threads, etc) but the "what is le most effay ____" threads are shit.

I like this place more than places like sufu because when its on its great. You can get really critical discussions and not have to worry about poster dickriding i.e. most of sufu.

>>7685649

>>7686172
Are you you the tall, skinny white guy with the docs? Or are you the white guy with the holos and margielas? Pls be one of those 2, I see way too many fobby fuccbois with leather sweats and fake zanotti I wanna kill myself. Next time I see either of you im just gonna say hi

like every designer tbh
except pat
I'll spot a patty bro one day

>>7693001
For clarity, 1st dude ive only seen in docs and usually wears black (and is actually fashionable) and is easily over 6ft tall. Second guy is prob 5'10" and good looking. Seen both around the bombshelter/kerckhoff

>>7693022

saw a gorgeous 40 something year old woman wearing rick side zip combats and a tornado dress

>>7685082

Fucking Georgia.

>>7694435

>>7694511
Where the hell do you live? Down the street from Rick's house?

>>7694577
central london. i see people wearing rick daily

>>7687877
I agree with you whole heartedly. But I also fucking hate those Asian cunt faces who just continually harass users as if it is their full time job, and you can so tell they are Asian with their anime display pics - I've seen those screen shots of them giving neg reps 100x to the same user. I'm Asian myself and I want to stab them in the face. Sorry about the tangent, but they are so pathetic. (I do like derk though)

>>7694586
>Asian cunt faces who just continually harass users as if it is their full time job
>as if
lel
it literally is for a handful of them

That moment when someone on the street catches you mirin part of their fit, like Ricks etc. and they know exactly why you're staring, and you see that smug look crawl across their face.

It's happened multiple times. I feel I shouldn't feed their egoes, but it gives me a sense of superiority too as we share in our mutual acknowledgment of perceived fashion elitism. And I know I like it when people notice my fits.

>>7694615
my gf said some dude doubletaked and followed me for about 20ft the other day and was staring intensely at my backzips

lame ass herb

>>7694680
hahahahaha
this is how weird we are guys
that dude's probably one of us

>>7694685
he was asian tho so anything probably some sufu fuckboy or spends too much time living thru le ""avant garde"" ""fashion"" tumblr

I've only ever seen it done badly in Melbourne, although I don't spend that much time here.
A few older people who were doing it wrong and some kids trying full goth-ninja.

>>7694738
I always see one of the guys who works at sneakerboy decked out in Rick and the like. Hes been wearing khaki suede ramones every time ive seen him.

givenchy

trim fam we eatin

>>7686172
If you think that's bad come down to UCI. All the STEM majors do is either autismfedoracore or r/mfa garb. Too many fobs too wearing BOY LONDON and givenchy and leather pants.
