fatter in tx

good amount of fat people in nyc too but nowhere near close, usually students from other states

We should make our own /fa/ city. Start a new meme and get every one of us /fa/ggots to move there.

The order goes:
>Paris
>Milan (an extremely close second)
>London
>New York
Although in order of fashion relevance New York and London would be switched in the above list.

>>7797079
this is a good idea

we need to buy some land out somewhere first

Went on a week vacation in NY and only saw about 4 noticeably fashionable people.

new york hasn't been /fa/ since before 9/11
fucking extended-stay tourists ruined the city

best city in california? i mean in the most fun/fa things to do kinda way

>>7797127
West Hollywood/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica

>>7797127

I think the only choices are SF and LA

Been to Paris and London but I live in ny.
Paris is full of gypsies that make the streets look awful.
London is full of pakis and Indians so it feels like walking in Syria or some shit.
I live an hour away from Manhattan and go there twice a week because of work, its pretty nice but not the most fa city.

>>7797101

Nah, just choose a city then promote it to hell.

ever been to Tokyo? it's crazy, literally everyone is decked out in CdG, undercover, bape, beams+, wtaps, mastermind, visvim. then you have menswear dudes who dress in haversack, united arrows etc, you have heritage dudes. there's honestly so many different movements in Japan as a whole that I would have to say Tokyo is the effayist city in the world

>>7797905

better cop shit for those 4k in the first few days or be shit on even more

>>7797909

i was jk about feeling inferior, obviously they're gonna look way better than me but i'm not seeing as like some competition or something i genuinely respect and admire the way ppl dress there

staying for around a month so going to spend over a long period of time after visiting a shitload of retailers to really see as much stuff as i can

You can argue about the others but Paris is miles ahead in terms of fashion, including it in the question ruins the answer.

if you're talking about the fashion weeks it goes Paris > London > Milan > *huge gap* > New York

>>7798281

for me it's the same but tokyo > paris

>>7798289
i thought we were just discussing the "big four" here?

>>7798299

tokyo is really good, the only reason it's not considered as one of the "big" ones is b/c so many of their designers don't bother leaving japan, there is good enough of a market in japan so they don't give a shit and just do their thing within japan and so not alot of people know about it

if you took away the names of the cities and looked at each fashion week just through the collections themselves it would be obvious that tokyo is way, way up there - on par if not above the european cities when it comes to innovation and creativity

Je suis pas très fashion (je suis plutôt basic), je connais les boutiques et vite fait les designers du coin mais je n'achète jamais rien, c'est trop cher !
Mon conseil si tu veux apprendre c'est de se balader dans le marais et de regarder, surtout dans les petites rues. De Hotel de ville jusqu'à la mairie du 3ème et de beaubourg jusqu'à la Place des Vosges, tout le monde est plus ou moins /fa/, point bonus si c'est pendant le week-end ou pendant la brocante à côté de la marie du 3ème.

For me it has to be Paris or Copehagen

Baghdad or Paris

But no American City, nor London with tier shit tier quality stores. Milan is also way below Paris.

D'ailleurs arrêtez de parlez Français les gars, ça commence à m'énerver !

either Edinburgh or Budapest

New York is definitely not /fa/ unless /fa/ is an overweight homeless man screaming at Whole Foods in Union Square. Check LA

New York is great. Especially if you love smog, trash and harried people. Fashionable people are everywhere. NY fashion has "distinct flavors " and an individualistic flair you're not likely to find in Europe, it's very much an acquired taste much like the place itself. If that's your thing then New York is the perfect place for you.


I remember a thread where people'd describe looks were native in their respective towns/cities and many people seemed to think a certain look was overdone and/or very common, New York isn't like that as whole. It's a veritable smorgasbord of styles.

I'm signing for a National Student Exchange and if the school is in an "effay" location matters to me (eg music, places to go, 'culture', architecture). I'm at Rutgers which is great for my major but boring, oh so boring, and I don't like the culture. How is Seattle? I've mentioned it on /fa/ before and people said it was lame but when I went there it seemed amazing, there was a music festival going on, great coffee, perfect rainy weather, nice shops, open markets. It seemed like a less trapped/hectic and more White NYC. Anyway UW Seattle is my first choice, does anyone know of other Unis in good locations? I'd be spending my sophomore yr there

>>7799462
>implying Copenhagen isn't extremely fashionable

2 things that keep Copenhagen down; it's fucking cold, and there are a lot of arabs.

>>7797691

>>7799631
Honestly just go to UW, it's a really fun school and the people somehow party all the time and still manage to somehow get good grades in hard classes

It's not exactly downtown, but it is a bus away from downtown, capitol hill, and fremont (all pretty cool locations as well)
In the U district there is a lot of crime (so watch yo shit, don't even leave it to go to the bathroom) and there is the Ave, which is a huge line of shops and such right by UW

Not a lot of /fa/ people there though (like most Unis i think, people tend to wear comfy-core)

Lagos certified the most effay city in the world.

>>7799090
>2013+1
>continuing to suck the marxist multiculturalist cock

Everyone's sleeping on Minneapolis and Seattle. Not the MOST effay city but they're up there.

Most New Yorkers just wear baggy winter's clothes like pic related. I remember Parisians being pretty well dressed, but not particularly interesting. Mostly just peacoats, dark jeans, and oxford shirts. Never been to London, but it seems like most people just wear soccer shit or dress like chavs. From the pics I've seen of Milan, it looks like the most /fa/ of any of those cities.

>>7797101

I don't understand how CdG is /fa/. It's just single color shit with an ironic graphic that looks like it was made by a highschooler in photoshop. FFS, I can't believe you pleebs actually waste your money on this shit just because it has a designer name. You pay $200+ for a shirt that cost $10 to make and maybe an hour to design. Fucking consumer whores.

>>7796918
aye
stockholmers may not be the most effay, but the city is

>>7800781

10/10 Troll actually made me angry

Go educate yourself, CdG is one of the most revolutionary and innovative design houses of the last 100 years.

>>7800781
i cant really see your opinion, to me CdG homme plus looks great every year

>>7800781

Lol this is one of the things that irks me the most

What you're talking about is CdG's PLAY line, a line started to bankroll the rest of the CdG universe, which has like over 20 different lines and 4 - 5 different designers. CdG has been around the 70 / 80s and the impact it's had on fashion is absolutely substantial. If had a big impact on the future generation of designers in the latter half of the 20th century (Eg. The Belgian Designers @ Antwerp 6 / Raf, Helmut. etc/) and pretty much influenced a huge part of Japanese streetwear brands in the 90s and early 20s when they were starting up.

>>7800781
>not knowing CdG Play, which makes t-shirts you just described, is the smallest part of the brand
>being this retarded

>>7800835

He's obviously just uneducated / doesn't know what CdG is. Also the pic you posted is Homme by Junya, not H+

>>7800846
none of that is true

there is no influence from rei/ no direct tie to the antwerp 6

they started their own look cleaner tailoring than fashion saw

helmut could care less about rei

i like how raf simons rick owens usually the only designers you know of

>>7797079
I'm down for that idea

>>7797101
call it /fa/land

>>7800882

The Antwerp 6 regularly took trips to Paris to watch Yohji and Rei's shows during their student / recent graduate years, I don't think you can say that there was no influence at all.

>>7796898
top haha
>>7796914

>go to tokyo
>be embarrassed to have ever thought you were fah

It'd be better without all the sandniggers.

>>7796933
p fah

Parts of Berlin are fah as fuck
Seattle is aight too

>>7799631
Seattle is an awesome city and very effay, but isn't for everyone. If you liked it on first glance, it's probably for you.

>>7800445
/fa/ doesn't necessarily mean all the citizens are well dressed

>>7797269
I vote green bay. I'm going to be in Neenah next weekend doe B^)

>>7800971
>I don't think you can say that there was no influence at all.
I don't think seeing shows = being professionally influenced by.

>>7801680

We won't know unless we hear it straight from the designers but saying that the Antwerp 6 weren't professionally influenced at all by Rei and Yohji is just straight up wrong.

Take a look at Ann's work, are you seriously going to tell me that those shows did nothing for her?

>>7801694
>are you seriously going to tell me that those shows did nothing for her?
Are you seriously going to tell me they are without explaining how?

>>7801705

Look if you honestly can't look at pictures of designers' work and make comparisons idk what to tell you really

>>7801717
>Look if you honestly can't look at pictures of designers' work and make comparisons
That's basically what you're telling me YOU can't do.

>>7797895
I am in Brussels right now and I can confirm that after being that for more than 6 hours, errbody is pleb.

>>7801722

Why anyone would even take this stance against the fact that the Japanese designers of the 80s influenced the Antwerp 6 is completely beyond me. It's like you're not even trying to argue the point, you're just opposing it for the sole purpose of opposing something.

You're just wrong, end of story

>>7801753
>you're just opposing it for the sole purpose of opposing something.
I'm waiting for you to give me something specific, not a shot in the dark.

>>7801767

I'm not bothering to grab pics and try to prove to you something that is so obvious and fact

You're obviously just not familiar with the works of these designers at all

If you want to stay stupid then fine whatever not my duty to educate retards

You win good for you

>>7801779
>I'm not bothering to grab pics and try to prove to you something that is so obvious and fact
You already bothered to post pictures and explained the stupidity of someone who thought play = cdg.

I think you're just hardpressed to explain yourself.

>>7801793
And if it's so "obvious and fact", then surely you can find someone other than yourself insisting it's true.

>>7796859
>tfw I'll never live in paris

>>7801798

This entire time your argument has been this sort of autismal "WELL YEAH??? GIVE ME SPECIFIC 1:1 PICTURES AND EXACT EXAMPLES OF INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF CLOTHING THAT WAS INFLUENCED BY THE JAPANESE"

It really just feels like you caught feelings somewhere and aren't even actually trying to argue, just trying to save face or something or tell yourself you're right because I'm not doing ^

>Antwerp 6 + Margiela were students in 1980
>Yohji and Rei debut in Paris in 1981
>Huge revolution, fashion movement
>Antwerp 6 make trips to Paris, access shows by sneaking in, stealing, copying tickets
>5 years later they make official debut

To say that they didn't get any ideas to translate into their own work from such a powerful avant garde revolution is just plain retarded and stubborn.

> if it's so "obvious and fact", then surely you can find someone other than yourself insisting it's true.

If you're still in denial after this you're just retarded.

Go up to anyone who knows anything about fashion history and tell them that the Antwerp 6 was not influenced by the Japanese in Paris and they will laugh in your face.

>It really just feels like you caught feelings somewhere and aren't even actually trying to argue
Right back at you. It should be really easy if it's so "obvious and fact", but you would rather spend twice as much time defending the fact that you refuse to point out marks of influence when you could sooner do just that.

>http://thelinguistmagazine.org/life-style/the-antwerp-six/
Did you even read this article?

>Although designers such as Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo carried a huge influence, the Antwerp Six were undoubtedly the main sources of inspiration for many of fashion’s major players, and changed the landscape of fashion as we know it.
They aren't saying Yohji and Rei influenced the Six specifically. They're talking about their influence on the whole industry.
