previous generations are now becoming fathers and slowly shifting their goofninja wardrobe to a more dadcore type giving birth to ninjadad/dadgoth/goofdad

>Ever knowing what fashion is

Fashion wouldn't be fashion if we knew what it was, it's supposed to be an abstract body of euphoria, that we're meant to aimlessly chase for our entire life, but we will never be able to ever touch, smell or see it. All we know as real human beans is that it's there, and that we can never reach it. Being fashionable is giving other people the impression that while chasing, you've been able to find your own style, and have reached a point where you can stop chasing - Which is as far away from the truth as possible. The more fashionable you feel like you become (And your peers can feel this too), the further away you'll find yourself from the real answer. At the end of the journey is something beautiful, but we will never get there. Only based Rick Owens Raf Simons have the light.

no more

Hard to say, as we're sitting between seasons at the moment

>Japanese heritage 50's style workwear - includes brands like LVC, Real McCoy, Visvim, Kapital, NBHD, etc

>Psychedelics mixed with Patrik Ervell washed denim

>Cheap sneakers - Stan Smith, Vans OTW, campus, etc

>Streetwear is moving back into Norse Projects, Supreme, lots of medium price basics and less street goth - designer sneakers are pretty much out. No more CDG Cons

>Raw denim

>>8918112
>less street goth
Shhhhit.

>>8918116
Street goth is for sure on its way out if not dead already - sure En Noir made the GQ best designers list, but it's pretty far from the original street goth look. HBA is losing steam, Supreme is putting out less of the HBA style long sleeves. I imagine you'll see a few people out there in street goth, but designer like Christopher Kane, etc are far from relevant. Maybe Givenchy will take over again, but I doubt it.

slim is still sort of in, but people are starting to get bored of it, and we're starting to see more slouchy and "drapey" pieces becoming inspo, though it's not clear when or how thoroughly that will enter the market, or whether it already has.

All black streetwear had a brief moment and is now out of fashion. A$AP Rocky recently dissed HBA and "hentai 00" shirts are now considered lame.

monochrome streetwear in the vein of Rick Owens is still cool, sort of.

monochrome budgetcore, aka ASOScore, aka "virgincore", was a shitty approximation of rick in the first place, and is now laughable

"Workwear" is now long past (except in the mainstream, where it's very popular) but its more open-minded variant "heritage" is still enjoying a dedicated niche audience. stores like HAVEN are pushing a marriage of heritage and techwear that seems promising.

Monk straps are on the out after being in vogue for a few years in the #menswear world. I don't know what the new thing is, if there is one.

Roshes are dead.

New Balance is on the out for the colored styles, but the grey ones are still cool.

CP is going out of style, but the simplicity of the design helps smooth out the severity of the fashion cycle for them

anime shirts were never cool.

Raf is still cool.

Chinos are out (especially burgundy ones)

I probably forgot a hundred things but w/e

>>8918112
glad to hear the japanese heritage 50s style is in.

>Huge 90s / early 2000s revival, Post Internet Culture

>Sports luxe / sportswear mixed and matched with designer clothing / designer sportswear

>Black streetwear / monochrome in general has been dead for a year+ now

>>8918141

>chinos are out
Are you serious? You can't be this retarded can you?
>CPs are going out of style
I don't trust your judgement.

>>8918143
It's sort of in. Lots of places are starting to stock Kapital and Anonymous Ism as far as basics go, but you've got a long way until you see Visvim hit mainstream for anything but their shirts. Visvim shoes are out.

LVC is going to get big. A lot of mainline Levis are moving to reflect the design style of the higher end line. You'll see a whole bunch more of their vintage stripe tees hitting mass retail, especially at their flagship.

I'm hoping Dr Romanelli hits New York shops - his stuff was in Bodega a while ago, but it's hardly mass market. Fuck, I can hardly even find a place to buy his shit at retail, let alone with eBay tax.

>>8918141
oh, and I forgot another thing

dark colors are going out and light colors are coming in. for example, light wash denim is now very in, whereas dark raws are sort of out.

>>8918210
Other way around - light wash was in over summer. Ervell shit is starting to pop up more and more as people are getting rid of them. You'll see darker denim come back in come November

>>8918178
visvim is just sort of out in general though, living on old hype. Kapital isn't the precursor to people going deep with Visvim; Kapital is arguably just the more important of the two brands in 2014.

As for LVC going big, it could happen, but I'd be surprised. I think they're peaking right now. But I could be wrong.

>>8918220
I don't think it's entirely seasonal. Light washes were largely a reaction to the dominance of raw denim and black denim for a while. And it didn't really come in until mid/late summer.

Lol almost everyone ITT has no idea what the actual movements in today's fashion industry and consumer base are like except for >>8918153 you guys are all just speaking based off your immediate circle of acquaintances. Niche community interest =/= mainstream fashion movement

>>8918233
Visvim fucked themselves by jacking up the price for just the US market and then further ruined the brand by not getting it into more retailers. If they had been stocked at Saks, Barneys, etc we wouldn't be seeing them fade away. Kapital and Junya style stuff is just now getting stocked on places like Mr Porter, which generally signal the start of the mass phase of designer shit. I've heard talks of Kapital getting stocked (the main pieces, not just the socks) at Saks and Barneys - if that happens, the brand explodes.

LVC as a line is dead, but they're moving more of their LVC styling into the mass market line - once that happens, then it becomes a trend.

>>8918007
im going to cry

>>8918265
Thinking /fa/ would ever talk about pleb shit
There are no pleb core trends - it's all the same shit pushed out every season. Color palate is the only thing that changes at shit shops like H&M

>>8918295
Never did I imply anywhere that mainstream = "pleb" or high street, you're just obviously not aware at all of the trends and movements within designer fashion. Take a quick look through alot of the trendier, more youthful brands in recent seasons and you will most definitely see lots of things in common.

>>8918278
eh... I've seen Yuketen at both Barneys and Mr Porter and as far as I can tell they haven't hit the mainstream yet. The problem is that it's a brand that benefits immensely from "quality"/"craftsmanship" and an illusion on obscurity/exclusivity (helped by the way Yuki produces a very large variety of different footwear every season -- you never worry you'll bump into someone with the same shoes). Those two traits don't carry over very easily in the transformation into a mass market brand. They didn't translate well for Visvim either, so Visvim did the only logical thing -- jack up the prices instead of trying to produce more. Visvim never had, realistically, the opportunity to go mainstream. I respect their choice to go for higher prices, even if it sucks as a Visvim consumer.

>>8918315
of* not on

Lunarcore is making a rebound

>>8918007
fucking clueless idiots, dadgoth is monochrome menswear, the goth stands for all black
it is not a fusion of gothninja and dadcore

>>8917612
Yea this.

It's kinda funny how sudden and big it became. Like whoa...

think the 90s, less brown, longer than baggy, slim fitting. on the other end, beige/white, sneakers and short coats like bombers or long asf parkas on top of street wear

>>8918178
>>8918178
>you've got a long way until you see Visvim hit mainstream for anything but their shirts. Visvim shoes are out.
I dunno man, they're really not /that/ out there, and kanye has been wearing them, with his more washed out dad looks.

Beige boyz on the way in, i'm predicting an onslaught of beige/sand/brown, probably a whole lot of olive as well, along with the indigo from the japanese americana influence

>>8918153
>Sports luxe / sportswear mixed and matched with designer clothing / designer sportswear
definitely, especially with the london designers imo

>>8918437
oh and big hats for the fashion kids too
probably unlikely to penetrate far into the mainstream

jumpsuits and high-end onesies are going to take over luxury sports/casual wear in a few years

>>8918437
Kanye doesn't wear the FBTs that much anymore. He did like two years ago, but hasn't done it as much. All the photos you see of him wearing them were taken a while ago

>>8918437
Replace indigo with tobacco in your list and you have anyone of any influences 2015 lines that already hit the runway/previrwed

>>8918458
Hmm yeah i suppose, iirc he's been loving those beige suede chelseas lately

>>8918464
isn't that the point

Transparency.

>>8918486
TRICKY RICK?

>>8917603
Givenchy
Rick Owens
Balmain
Giuseppe Zanotti
Versace
Other gaudy brands, etc.

>>8918512
>Givenchy
How about no. Givenchy hasn't been relevant since the first Pervert shirt, maybe the Rotty shit. You'd be hard pressed to find Givenchy on #streetwear now
>Rick Owens
If by Rick Owens you mean Ramones/Geos on fuccbois, then yes
>Balmain
You mean biker denim and leather, then yes
>Guiseppe Zanotti
On "rich" black rappers
>Versace
This one is actually correct
>Other gaudy brands
You spelled Louis Vuitton wrong there

>>8918315
The trend isn't really those brands, but the brands that are copying them. There are a whole bunch of pleb brands/fakes that are taking the Visvim style. I don't think Visvim will ever hit mainstream (the FBT was as mainstream as it got), but their style is getting copied like fuck

#dadgoth

>>8918566
Who are you thinking of that's copying Visvim though? for shoes the only thing that really comes to mind for me is Ransom.
