Olivier Rizzo is a stylist, not a designer.

not sure if b8 but i'll bite
It's Damir Doma.

Check out Hedi Slimane, Ann Demeulemeester and Kris Van Assche too.

I like Junya Watanabe and the Antwerp Six (kind of sounds like a 60's band). Check those guys out.

Hedi Slimane

>>8081319
Not bait, like I said I don't know shit about designers, thank you

>>8081319
>hedi slimane

>>8081438
it's Heidi slimane

>>8081442
it's "i'm an awful designer, so I just rehash my old stuff forever and try to appeal to awful rock bands and people who listen to awful rock bands"

Ur gonna want ur rick owens raf simons by the stock
Rock margielas with no laces
I see ur Jil Sanders
Ur jeans r helmut lang
Ur damir doma from the store

>>8081311
H&M

>>8081447

I think this is a pretty fair criticism, but it's also hard to deny that the look is still pretty relevant and that people do really care what Hedi has to say about dressing. While he was gone, you saw plenty of contemporary labels like Sandro and The Kooples pop up and do really well, so obviously that look, that severity, that inspiration still resonates with a lot of buyers and customers.

Essentials after the 80s:

Yohji Yamamoto
Rei Kawakubo
Martin Margiela
Helmut Lang
Rick Owens

Go to your library and pick up a book on designers

Tatsuro Horikawa

I don't now if there's much to find out about Damir Doma but watev

>>8081462
Thank you, I was just at a bookstore and read a few things about raf and rick owens, il definitely read up some more

>>8081462
Are there any books in particular you would recommend?

>>8081458
It just feels so trivial compared to the attention it gets. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a great leather jacket etc., but it just rubs me the wrong way if a designer basically designs wardrobes for rockstars inspired by rockstars from previous decades. I guess you could say the same about Number (N)ine to some extent, but Miyashita made it feel authentic and always gave it some interesting spin, while Hedi's recent collections are just too literal for my taste.

>>8081488
raf simons redux for one. it's $$$$,tho

>>8081488
Try the Taschen books on individual designers.

>>8081505
>that raf one with kate moss on the cover

what the fuck is this shit

Bump 4 interest

>>8081311
Get af1's instead

>>8082104
those are actually pretty cool, what are they?

>>8082119
geoforces

>>8082119
Raf Velcroforce Baskets

>>8081469
Would it be cool to have the associated labels or fashion houses of the designers being listed? I know some have worked for multiple labels, but I have no clue who designs for The Soloist, so to get the designer and some info and opinions on him (and the other designer/fashion labels) would be sweet.

Issey Miyake and jun takahashi is worth looking up too

>>8082172
Thank you

>>8081499
the pdf download must be somewhere....
not ready to drop 6hunna new or 2hunna used for that

>>8081311
I've been really into dries van noten's stuff lately, worth looking into imo.

>>8082312
Van noten's shit is dope, very true

>>8082119
Air Force 1 Lunars, you can tell by the lunar sole

>>8082312

aitor throup (doesn't consider himself a designer but still fascinating)

Here's a particularly interesting chap: Carol Christian Poell, an Austrian designer based in Italy. He has a familial background in clothing construction: in fact, it is reputed that he had the skills of a master tailor by his teens
His work is often labeled "transgressive", but I think it's progressive as much as anything: his clothing has been a vehicle for consideration of feminist ideologies, existentialism & decay, among other things.
His clothing is immaculately constructed, and he's noted for his use of unorthodox treatments and finishes - object dying, where the item itself is dyed after completion rather than the hide being dyed and progressing from there, dipping items in latex, plastic & other chemical treatments in order to give a scarification look, etc
He's quite experimental and often voices his disdain for the typical "luxury" fashion industry, and no longer produces bi-annual collections
As he says
>It has become superficial and is mostly about self-celebration, styling and making money

He is a true individual, and in my opinion, a true genius, though I'd never wear any of this things, I have the utmost respect for him

I uploaded this video of SS04 today in fact, if anyone is interested!

I fuckin' love /fa/.
This shit cracks me up all every time.

>>8081447
Criticising SLP is so 2012

>>8083142
saying something is 2012 is so 20L8

>>8083148
Saying something is 20L8 is quoting Fergie

>>8083142
SLP itself is horribly out of date in all the wrong ways.

veronique branquinho
driesvan noten
krisvan assche
Virgil abloh

Well these are my current top three
>Raf Simons- collaborated with my favorite gd, peter saville, in his fw03 collection and has a lot of contemporary/modern inspo such as pop art and de stijl
>Hedi Slimane- flipped YSL into a "rock star" cultured look and the tall& thin aesthetic seems appealing to me
>Thom browne- unique cuts on suits

Relevant as of right now (not saying good..):
>Aexander Wang
>Riccardo Tisci
>Tom Ford

Icons:
>Yves Saint Laurent
>Christian Dior
>Marc Jacobs
>Karl Lagerfeld

>>8081311
Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim

Jun Takahashi of Undercover

Kunihiko Morinaga of Anrealage(really fuckin dope brand like holy shit holy shit)

Hiromichi Ochiai of Facetasm(don't be put off by the styling, give it a try)

PS: don't waste your time trying to cram near useless fashunz knowledge or thinking that you have to be in the know for some designers or some shit. I personally just like to the lifestyle/message/clothes being championed by the brands lookbooks and runways. Any knowledge that naturally comes about from reading editorials and stuff because you're really curious about knowing more about the guy and his work is fine. Trying to cram voguepedia so u can impress ur tumblr peepz with dat fashunz trivia or in an attempt to feel superior to plebs even though you haven't even looked into the designers work or even care about it for that matter isn't cool.

Lel

>>8083238
why is he crying?

>>8083330
Cause his clothes are so shit.

>>8083330
it was his final show at Jil

>>8083340
aww :3

>>8083340
and back into obscurity he goes!

besides his niche selling clothes to black youth alonside with tisci

>>8082833
Yeah I agree, I've liked his last few seasons aswell, but imo this season he really stepped his game up. Kinda looking forward to the next collection aswell, I think it looks promising

>>8081447
smirk

>>8083360
yeah, it's not like designing Dior womenswear and haute couture is a big deal

>>8084161
Dries is pretty much the most consistent designer working right now. Which is amazing, because he's not just doing the same thing every season. He has his staples, but he's constantly trying new things and pretty much succeeds every time. And I love that he doesn't advertise or play the PR game and still has a shitton of stockists.

>>8084575
Dries does not have a shit ton of stockists. At least not in the US

>>8084619
well, different story over here. pretty much every store that sells designer clothes carries dries. pretty sweet. But on the other hand it's such a pain in the ass to find American designers like Patrik Ervell or Robert Geller over here.

>>8084741
huh

p sure last year barneys was the exclusive retailer of dries, and only in a handful of stores, and even then wasn't even available online.

even my local barneys in Chicago stopped carrying them recently

>>8084741
Are there even any decent retailers of Geller in eu? yoox probably carries some but except for that, i've never seen it anywhere. Ervell is also rare but not as.
>>8084747
I know totokaelo carries dries atm

>>8084754
I can't think of any Geller stockists in europe either. It's weird that you can't even get his stuff in Germany considering he's actually from here. His internet site doesn't have a list of stockists,though. Ervell has some stockists like tres bien and thecorner, but their buys are really shitty most of the time.

>>8081311

Stephan Schneider

>>8084766
Norsestore received some news from Ervell just the other day, nothing major but still pretty cool. Matchesfashion and even zalando carries some stuff from ervell iirc. So there's actually quite a few, but yeah I agree they usually get some of the more boring stuff. Yeah it's odd that the stuff is literally nowhere to be found.

>>8084867
the zalando stuff is actually from their luxury branch Emeza who went bankrupt. I hope they keep carrying labels like Ervell,though.

Alexandre mattiussi should be mentioned itt, even though I never see him mentioned around here. I'm not too fond of his last collection but there were some pretty cool stuff, some of the tropical prints were really interesting.

>>8084907
Yeah I know, I actually got a Ervell wool shirt from there a few months ago. Somehow I doubt that they're gonna keep on doing that though, but hopefully they will.

>>8084915

dries rip off?

>>8084915
Ew hypebeast pls go

Who are the best designers for long drapey minimal black clothing?

>>8085175

>>8085537
Old hermes

Over the years with the introduction of mm6 and linea 14 and linea 22 sneakers

And diesel's buyout the brand became moremaccsesable(cheaper) and less about an anonymous minimalist if designer wardrobe (incognito, the original blank margiela label)

You guys are lazy as shit and I don't feel like taking my time to recommend books for you when there are literally hundreds of comprehensive books easily available that go over important designers' works

Flip through one of those and do more research on the ones u think are cool

Christ

>>8086312

I think that more people don't go to their local public library first when they're curious about a topic is a real shame.

>>8086320

I know right, I don't know about other cities but my city has a damn good public library systems with a ton of really good (and rare) fashion books, didn't even know it was that good until I checked it out you guys should do the same

>>8086335

And bookstores too, most big corporate bookstores like Chapters / Indigo have a ton of the newer fashion books in stock

>>8086341
I wish I had time to do reading. I have a bunch of ebooks wait to be read, usually just read stuff for work. Guess I could just stop going on fa but I don't really do that either.

Does anyone else here love Olivier Rousteing?

>>8086553

I think he's a confident designer and he knows how to match his talents and taste with his customer, so that speaks a lot to his abilities given his age.

>>8083268
timber works as a buyer, knowing about designers is her job....why dont you go after /fa/scist too

Look up yojiowensrick

>>8090268

>>8090295

>>8090268

IMO manlets look like biker oompaloompas in SLP with the leather jackets, chelseas and dose sexy as fuck rhinestone suit jackets

>>8089786
