>>12762076
N(N) is an interesting case because, similar to Helmut Lang, there are two periods for the label. It was started by Takahiro Miyashita in 1997. The label closed in 2009 when Miyashita left but it was revived the next year by the parent company. The new label basically just riff's on Miyashita's original ideas without adding anything new.
For whatever reason Number (N)ine has recently been rediscovered by the streetwear rapper crowd and is popular and collectable again. I don't know much about the new company but I'd imagine there are some overseas stockists or at least some online shops.

I assume you're talking about a runway shot from his AW09 collection, A Closed Feeling. I think that was his strongest work with the label and it definitely foreshadowed the direction he's taken with The Soloist.

In my opinion, you shouldn't get Geos at all. Whenever I see a fit with Geos I think that other shoes could've made the fit better.

We're gonna discuss some dark fashion here because you all seem to be new/fa/gs. First point is: what is the definition of "dark fashion?" Others may want to discuss this in more detail, but here's my take: the term dark fashion is nebulous for a reason, and there are multiple aesthetics or styles under the label dark fashion. For instance most of us would agree a brand like Ann D. is dark fashion, but a more artisanal brand like Deepti is also dark. Ann is gothic or new romantic in her take on fashion, while a brand like Deepti is more natural in the use of their materials, and their stylings; fitting the term artisanal. Then there are other brands completely different from those two. Julius_7 comes to mind, but it (older collections) takes stylistic cues from the techno scene, and is seemingly sometimes very futuristic (like Rick Owens). For some reason, older Julius really vibes with me. Others may like Carol Christian Poell, or the always famous Tricky Rick.

Another issue seems to be the conflation of techwear with dark fashion. Sometimes techwear can be dark fashion, as again, it is such a loosely-defined word, but sometimes it is not. If you look at ACRONYM, the most famous of all techwear brands, you'll see most pieces don't really fall under this term, but if you change the label to, let's say, Arc'teryx Veilance, a lot more of the pieces now seem to be dark. Another label that can be dark fashion and techwear is Stone Island Shadow Project (a higher priced collaboration between Stone Island and ACRONYM). Personally I don't like ACRONYM as their prices don't really match up with the interesting and innovative fabrics you think a label like that should entail.

The last and final point I can think of is that there are so many brands that fall under dark fashion that make it really difficult to understand what this fashion style is. I'll make a list now of brands I know that should help kickstart any people trying to get into this fashion.

[Anonymous No.12764522]

Dark fashion was started with Carpe Diem, so I'll start with that brand.

BRANDS LIKE CARPE DIEM OR OFFSHOOTS THEREOF: M_moriabc, Ma+, Taichi Murakami, A1923, Guidi, Individual Sentiments, Label Under Construction, Maurizio Altieri

ARTISINAL BRANDS (or brands that are approved by Styel Zeitgeist): Carol Christian Poell, Inaisce, Deepti, Werkstatt Munchen, Geoffrey B. Small, Paul Harnden Shoemakers, Zam Barrett, Sruli Recht, Thamanyah, Song For The Mute

The two above aren't well-defined, and sometimes they go together

BRANDS LIKE RICK OWENS: Gareth Pugh, Ann Demeulemeester (kinda hard to tack this one down)~Stephan Schneider is similar but much more simplistic and less gothic, Damir Doma

JAPANESE GOTH BRANDS: Devoa, Julius_7, the Viridi-Anne, Takahiromiyashita The Soloist, Siva, Diet Butcher Slim Skin, Kazuyuki Kumagai Attachment, Lad Musician, Lumen et Umbra, Nude: Masahiko Maruyama

SPECIAL OUTLIERS FROM THE ONES ABOVE: Yohji Yamamoto, sometimes Comme des Garçons (earlier stuff usually)

This is just my list. Please feel free to add on or point out mistakes I made. Discuss.

[Anonymous No.12764533]

>>12764522
What makes you say that dark fashion was started with Carpe Diem after you just got done saying that it's a broad term. I'd argue that Yohji was doing 'dark fashion' way before CD began.

Your label comparisons are pretty ridiculous. Ann D isn't really like Rick at all. Lad Musician isn't goth, it's a rock aesthetic. In fact, most of the labels you listed as 'Japanese goth' aren't particularly goth at all.

[Anonymous No.12764558]

>>12764538
>>12764533

No, you weren't. I was just being very lazy, and trying to make it fully comprehensive without having to subdivide into further categories.

To answer your first question, when Yohji's first collection came out, he was labeled with the term, "Hiroshima chic." Carpe Diem was the first label to really be called goth.

Also Lad Musician is rock based, but so was Number (N)ine when it first came out. It was even labeled Americana. You can still see that influence in the Soloist. Maybe LM wasn't a good choice, but usually people pair it with these other brands. Also explain why those brands aren't goth. I can see Lumen and Umbra, but the rest of them are p goth-y. Oh, and DBSS. Maybe Japanese goth wasn't the right term. Oh well.

I think the best term, however flawed, for describing the entire scope of what we're trying to discuss here is avant-garde. I understand that not everything in these threads is necessarily pushing the envelope in the truest sense of the term but I think that it's a useful phrase to describe outsider fashion as contrasted with commonplace clothing and labels.

Dark or goth is limiting; those more like internet buzzwords to describe the drapey Rick, Julius, and Boris fits that were popular six or seven years ago. The term artisanal also applies here but I think it's more specific to smaller labels with a lot of hand finishing like Carpe Diem, Individual Sentiments, or Lost & Found as opposed to labels like Rick.

2 of 2

One of the most important distinctions for me is that which I'd call a povera movement versus the industrial and futuristic.

Sruli Recht exemplifies the povera end of the spectrum through his use of found objects, natural & wild materials, and the against the grain narrative he weaves around his creations. As with the arte povera movement, this connection to a pre-industrial period is still anchored to the modern world and man's control of it. Examples include Recht's use of laser cutting, futuristic materials like Dyneema, and his AW14 runway show featuring drones. Recht's work has taken a cyclical path starting with his lone wolf in the wild AW11 debut, progressing to the urban fugitive narative of AW14, and finally reconciling technology versus nature in his recent work for ECCO. 4chan thinks the links are spam but you can google his transparent leather and dyneema bonded leather projects for more info.

On the other end of the spectrum is someone like Carol Christian Poell, whose most famous designs are heavily influenced by industry and technology (drip sole work boots, titanium inserts, parachute fabric, sharp tailoring). Most of Poell's textiles make use of custom blends created by his team and his imposing leathers invoke protective armor in contrast to Recht's, which emphasize the natural animal hide aspects of the material.

Rick Owens tends toward the future end of the spectrum as well with his heavy use of panelling, geometric patterns, and structured cuts. Owens, however, manages touch both ends of the spectrum as seen in his rough blistered leathers, ethereal mohair knits, and the primitive caveman references of his AW16 collection, Mastodon.

Man, it's hard to put this shit into words. Critique and discuss. Let's keep this going.

idk man. It reads well enough. I'm not sure of the terminology but what you are saying makes sense. It's hard to classify a category that spans rick owens and horasaki both.
Where does Craig Green fit in this taxonomy. He's definitely avant garde and he clearly has his fair share of talent but his collections feel brash and lack the discipline of the more seasoned masters like rick or yohji and the artisanal bonafides of poell or cechetto.

Anyone here own a1923s?
I just got my first pair and I'm pretty happy with them.
How do you care for yours?
Mine are gray reverse cavallo if that makes a difference.
I've read about "vibram'ing" the sole but it's a beautiful part of the shoe. Seems like a shame.
Also, how do you clean/maintain them?
Leather conditioner? Mink oil?

Something short ( I already own a lot of parkas ), black, and that is a bit of a statement piece but not all over the place. Like I own some " dark " or " avant garde " pieces but they're kinda muted and not 100% into this aesthetic so the jacket would be the biggest statement.

Maybe it's impossible in which case just suggest something uncommon and I'll save for a statement piece later.

I'm briefly happy after I buy a new pair of shoes or a new item of clothing but the feeling dissipates after a few days and I wonder what it's all about again.
I just want to head back to Japan, live in Tokyo, work there and head up to the Asahikawa onsen once a month. Take the train too. Just stare out the window and wonder about the quiet, fulfilling lives people are leading in those cute little houses

[Anonymous No.12781606]

>>12774635
No a1923s, but three pair of guidis (1 in reverse cordovan), so I'll answer as best I can.

For the sole, I would suggest a thin layer of vibram. The artisanal finish will wear away regardless, and this way you'll be able to swap the vibram when it wears through rather than having to re-sole the whole shoe.

For more general care, I wouldn't worry too much about conditioning. I condition my leather shoes every other month with Saphir renovateur, but for my reverse cordovan pair, I just clean the dust off with a stiff brush between wears & store them with shoe trees.

[Anonymous No.12781739]

>>12781606
> store them with shoe trees.
do your guidis have the up-turned toe-box?
mine do and I'm not sure a shoe tree is the best option.
are there custom shoe trees for the up-turned toe-box style?

[Anonymous No.12781802]

>>12781739
They've all got an unstructured toe box. I'm not sure about your exact pair, but in my experience, the upturned toe box is a product of the washing and distressing process, and will flatten out with time.

Do it anyway. eople's attitudes need to change about female nudity and nudity and sexuality in general. That won't happen if people don't force the conversation. There's no reason why people shouldn't be able to wear that outside, literally none outside the weather. It's like porn and masturbation. For some reason, even though girls watch porn just as much, masturbate just as much and are horny just as often if not more than guys, it's somehow taboo for girls to talk about such things. Why can't we (both men AND women) just walk up to our friends in public and say, "Oh man, you won't believe this awesome porn I watched when I woke up. I came so hard!"

Schneider is super conservative when it comes to cut and proportions; it's almost always normal slim-straight tailoring.
While Rick is notorious for his long-line tees and drop-crotch pants.

this town is stupid rich but the fashion scene is garbage. prepcore and numales as far as the eye can see

I think it's because it doesn't have the coastal fashion scene and while there are lots of high earners, there are fewer actually rich people than NY or SF

I think for something like that to thrive, you need the area to have a "scene".
which does raise the question: why do some areas have a dark fashion scene and others don't?
is the labor market deciding?
does architecture have an impact (ultimately dark fashion works better in certain urban surroundings. try wearing it in the burbs and you'll see what I mean).
Detroit would be a great background for dark fashion. All the decay, dilapidated industry and burgeoning art scene.
Unfortunately not enough money to sustain it imo

D.C. Just doesn't seem to be *harsh* in the right sort of way that really elicits the kind of vibe that would sprout this sort of sensibility. I still just can't help but thinking of how to set up a space to create that vibe and bring these sort of styles into the city. Just find a kind of rundown space that still has some sort of charm and in some odd location, hang garments from chains, have some sort of separate space for appointments, host regular events.

I feel like it could be done, but it would definitely take a significant amount of work and getting word out in a very effective but fittingly unconventional way
