Still, I don't really know a better place to discuss fashion freely

A few weeks of lurking, but this was circa 2010. Summers won't understand how much stronger hivemind was at that time when hitler youth was actually a thing and everyone looked the same. There were a lot better trips who actually put out some quality stuff.

Couple days, and that was maybe 5 years ago. /fa/ did get me to start paying attention to fit and material, which should be anyone's first step. I don't think I've ever taken advice on my everyday clothing from this board. I did however make some upgrades to my formal clothing based on advice I found here. Mostly here to shitpost now.

/fa/ is like most other hobby boards. a lot of it is pretending to like absurd shit while also jacking off to expensive things we will never be able to afford.

To be honest, after 2 weeks or so of casual browsing, without ever looking into a WAYWT thread. (would have realized much sooner if I did)

I'm mid 30s though, so it's easy for me to smell out the easily influenced minds of teens and manchildren. I think deep down 90% of /fa/ are just your average Hollister/Supreme/BAPE kids mixed with the usual 4chan sprinkle of edginess and contrarianism.

[Anonymous No.13424361]

i think people on /fa/ generally can recognize good fashion and good aesthetic choices/designs but putting that into practice with your daily outfits is a bit harder to achieve. i think that's why this board ends up with decent inspo threads and that sorta thing but sometimes cringe waywt threads.

I lived in a shithole in Poland for the first 18 years of my life and in a slightly less shitty place in England for the next 3.
Not much irl fashion discussion to be had.
Finally moving to a more (at least superficially) cultured city after the summer.
Any tips on meeting fashionable people? I know that sounds really autistic, pls don't hate

[Anonymous No.13426670]

you're on 4chan. you should just assume no one has any idea what the fuck they are talking about.

Then again, I'm here and I'm like.... the queen of fashion. They literally call me "Fashion Boy.". I'm responsible for all modern fashion today.

WOOOO EGO BIG HEAD I WANT TO GO HOME.

Seriously though, if I get out of here and all the girls are done dressing up in my style I'm going to rape myself.

[Anonymous No.13427999]

First time I came here in 2013 and everyone was obsessed with lunarcore and Rick Owens as they are today with genderless chinks in baggy clothes

Remember that this is 4chan and that there are lots of autistic people

Just look at waywt or inspo threads and everything will be clear

Also, there are a lot more gay people in the last year or two

hitler youth was literally a /fa/ meme in 2008. here's a post from around the time the /fa/ archive started in 2013 indicated how it was a played out style even in 2013

Finding hard to believe that every person on /fa/ wore HY in 2010 as much as they did in 2013

In 2010 if you had HY you were probably some underground kid in London or Berlin, way too cool to ever visit /fa/

It was never mentioned before 2012

[Anonymous No.13428395]

Every board is just /b/ with a theme, it's all a joke. /n/ knows jack shit about cycling. /x/ is nothing but retarded larping bullshit. /k/ is majority /noguns/. /o/ all claim they have $60,000. /fa/ is all fags who spell color as c-o-l-o-u-r and when you see that, all the retarded shit clothing and basicbitch sneakers makes much more sense.

[Anonymous No.13428462]

>>13428312
it was not only mentioned before 2012 but it was a meme.you may find that hard to believe but thats probably just because you werent around then, and/or you only became fashion-literate in 2013. every haircut thread that came up the immediate reply was either hitler youth or buzz.

/fa/-tan was created the same year the board was launched and is an embodiment of the look /fa/ found fashionable at the time, if the archive went that far back i'd be able to repost comics made back then too depicting the HY, pea coat, nudie jeans and clarks that was the going meme outfit of the time. pic related is /fa/-tan, the audio quoted is from the nudie website around that time. funny to imagine anyone you think they would be 'too cool' to visit /fa/. its the opposite in my mind, these were internet fashion nerds too uncool to set foot in euro underground

[Anonymous No.13428468]

for proof a couple years out, i dug up this post from the /lit/ archive, which goes back to 2010.

someone on /lit/ recognized a picture of a tripfag posted in the thread. he comments that the HY was "quite popular" at that time the tripfag was posting. which was around when moot added /fa/.

Bull

Shit

Majority of /fa/, and I mean MOJORITY were #menswear ,peacoat, raw denim, fedora (before people started mocking them)

Rest looked like final fantasy cosplayers

You are imagining old /fa/ as something full of cool models wearing only rick owens and having a HY, when in reality is was even more autistic than today

>fashion nerds
>on /fa/
>ever

Its like saying every poster on /fa/ today has a bowlcut and wears baggy japanese streetwear

i think you are getting me confused? i am not saying /fa/ posters then were cool or models, i am saying the opposite. that they were nerds. HY was not a cool haircut back then, it was a trend and people recognized it as such. i agree that nobody wore rick (that much) but he and raf were definitely memed at the time. i specifically remember somebody made a rickroll thread out of RO dunks, comparable to the original duckroll threads from /b/.

i posted two pics of proof from 2008 and 2010 as proof, you just going to ignore those? i can dig up more examples from /lit/ at least.

here are three posts from 2010:
>>/lit/thread/S1232837#p1232911
>Get a hitler youth, squats and oats, read atlas shirked, listen to NMH, etc
HY was parroted so much on /fa/ in haircut advice a tripfag on /lit/ knew it as board culture similar to ITAOTS

>>/lit/thread/S1406766#p1406808
>Never ask for haircut advice on /fa/. We will rip you a new one or tell you to get a hitler youth.

>>/lit/thread/S1473678#p1473699
>I asked /fa/ and they didn't respond. It's mostly 'GET HITLER YOUTH HAIRCUT' nowadays

There's an exhibition near me about Viktor & Rolf and I asked a friend of mine to join me. Previously we went to an exhibition about masks curated by Walter van Beirendonck. Afterwards we eat some food and talk about it afterwards. I take sewing classes, but the people I meet are women,(if you want to be derogatory you could compare them with 'housewives' on blogspot), who treat it as a hobby. Nothing professional, but it's a nice moment during the week to cool off. There's an art academy in my city that hosts a fashion show next week.

Go to musea with friends or people you want to know better. Check the cultural agenda of you cities.
Take up sewing.

Thats pretty autistic going to such lenghts to prove a point

I think he refered to what was mainstream at what time, so yeah you proved that they did exist back in 2010 , but the mainstream thing then was menswear and goofninja folks were a minority as opposed to 2013 and later when everyone on /fa/ was into rick and streetwear

Also, does anyone remember those two months back in summer of 2015 when everyone was super into skating?

2-3 years ago. You can honestly apply this to entire 4chan.

Before 2010 this place was mostly populated by enthusiastic outcast nerds so the hivemind was strong. Now its full of the dumbest fuckwads and election newfags. Every post is practically worthless.
