half of the brand listed are ccp rip offs that bring fucking nothing original to the table, why even mention them? more importantly, why buy them?
dorkwear operates on the kinda levels where the designers explicitly want you to pay attention to the most retarded fucking details and expect you to understand about patterns, construction and materials, now if you are actually that deep in to this shit and you genuinely appreciate and understand micro level like that, you are not going to buy any of the ccp copies because it should be so blatant to you these brands are just fake ccp

cdiem was Altieri project that Amadei worked on with several others from OPs list

dunno if you're kidding or not but my closed is divided between rick/bbs/a1923/some yohji on one side and Visvim on the other
Been trying to reconcile this schism for some time now.
It's difficult because not only are the silhouettes very different but some of the best Visvim pieces have that beautiful indigo tone that's difficult to pair with the grungy industrial hues of dark fashion

Boris actually pays money to stores to have his stuff get sold there exclusively. He was such a Rick fanboy he got the rick tags tattooed on his back and he tried super hard to get to work for RO but rick said nope because boris is a prick

>>14685046
yeah actually this is probably the most interesting point about all this, i think this kind of style would be very interesting combined with other sects of fashion. western/americana is a really interesting thought

i mean in general darkwear sounds very post-apocalyptic (but in the future), or maybe what the other guy said, like grungy industrial stuff. combining that with any sort of ideas like maybe some weird flowy yohji stuff or americana sounds difficult but i imagine it would come out very very interesting. it also sounds close to the long-gone lunarcore threads in /fa

I think generally the problem starts when people see this stuff on the net but aren't actually involved in the art or avant garde fashion scene themselves. It becomes this cool mysterious thing that they cannot compare to anything but their limited underdeveloped popculture referenced taste. Hence posts like the one I quoted.

>darkwear
>post-apocalyptic
>grungy industrial
>lunarcore
>cyberpunk

These are all buzzwords of the creatively bankrupt. A mind that has nothing to work with but what is familiar to them. It's quite disgusting really.

It's as if you were discussing film with somebody who likes marvel movies. It's no wonder the discussion of these designers has ceased on here and in all other venues too. The bubble of teens flipping grails and ill-fitting third hand designer shit from yahoo auctions has long burst.

the truth is that both of you are full of shit. you don't know much about fashion. You like to talk about "buzzwords" and how they ruin "the scene" without realizing that both of these terms are buzzwords too only of a slightly different kind.
from your posts I haven't seen any indication that you know dick about fashion. You don't even seem particularly interested in "fashion". You seem like someone who is obsessed with gatekeeping and talking down to people anonymously on the internet - which, to your credit, is what /fa/ is really about. certainly not "fashion".
you probably do this on /mu/ and /lit/ as well without having achieved any special understanding in those areas either.

I've seen these threads shit on BBS before. Where do you get this info about him being funded by rick/paying people to carry his stuff
I've always liked his stuff because he uses similar silhouettes to rick (longline tees, drop crotch pants to give the impression of an elongated torso) but with a more raw and industrial feel to it.
The edges of the garments are more frayed, the color of the leather is less even and more mottled. More acid wash colorways.
Rick on the other hand is very polished (though he clearly tried his hand a bit more at deconstruction with Babel).
I'm open to the idea that BBS stuff is not constructed as well but what's the issue with design?

i guess you're right. I remember scrolling Warosu though and finding threads from 2013 and even as early as 2011 of people saying /fa/ is dying/dead. The board's always been self-conscious of itself (imagine the fashion board being self-conscious) but I think it's fairly safe to say the best years are behind us now. Some say 2009-2014, I would say 2008-2015 were my happiest times browsing here.

i kind of see what you mean. but on the other hand i think when you wear them they may be more "tight" when you wear them instead of in a picture. i don't believe an actually "tight" boot will work because, well, how would you get your feet in there without some sort of lacing? they have to be looser at the top at least a little so you can fit your foot inside

mmm i've never heard that you have to be thick to wear rick, that's a bit ridiculous. i did see one girl fit with rick shoes, let me see if i can find them. personally i think certain pants make them look good, certain pants don't. maybe check out harem pants.

lmao too accurate
but desu the reason the discussion around these designers doesnt exist anymore because this trend has been dead for a good while now

most of the brands are dead cause the trend is over, there isn't enough interest to capitalize from it
the trend is over because its no longer culturally or aesthetically relevant, new generation is defining new way of dressing now
rick is basically only designer from the OPs list relevant today because he has always adapted, evolved his aesthetic and kept up with the trends and times
could argue few of the ogs with actual original ideas are still doing their own thing that has always been more or less marginalized i guess

Carpe pretty much died in 07 and the best rick collections were before 06. The re-emerging and trend building around all those people hit tracktion on SZ in 08-09 and bled into general discussion around 2011. From 2013 onward it became the designer piece flipping culture with those homos on grailed. SZ fragmented and rick became new money chinese luxury items. It all went downhill from there.

Right now it's kind of back in the underground and the really interesting stuff isn't advertised much apart from the old guards private instagrams.

CCP has been purposefully making basically the same shit since he began his own work in the 90s. He's very clearly anti trend, you could call it lazy, but there's reason behind it.
As for him ending it soon, I wouldn't be surprised. The in-between collection seems to represent the resolution of the dichotomies he's presented in his previous work, it's as if he's found his own satisfaction. I wouldn't expect him to make anything new after this collection, but he will presumably keep making this collection being that he's not particularly well off.

>>14690081
how many jackets do you think he sells in a given year. Think of how rare his pieces are. Say 30.
That's $150k (assuming he sells them all at asking price). Remember that the stores that sell him do so at a markup so they're probably buying from him at half price so this is a generous estimate.
Throw in shoes. Say another 30 pairs. and let's be generous and say he did this at $5k a piece.
Now unless he made all this shit himself by hand (which would take way too long), he's paying craftspeople to help him. Subtract materials, workshop costs, taxes.
In a given year I'd be surprised if his take home was over $180k after taxes but maybe there is something going on that I don't know about.

Price point and availability really offputting though for the usual suspects. I think he's trying to get back into clothing again too but it's too cryptic right now to really say what it's going to be. It's all about one piece clothing now.

Ideologically it's followed the similar paths which has lead to very similar physical expressions thereof. Take, for example, his high neck coats. They, on the outside, look basically the same since the 90's. Ofc he's introduced new processes to make them more interesting but fundamentally he's made the same designs.
Keep in mind I'm a big fan of his and understand that what goes on outside isn't all that's going on, blah blah blah, but one of carols biggest focuses in antifashion is anti trend and for this he's not changed that dramatically (the biggest changes did happen from 06-09 thanks to deepti, though)

Owen Hyatt dripped some Nikes but it's kind of silly to just directly lift a design. Similarly many people have done diy vest bags or modified the milsurp ones they're based upon.

I have one of the milsurp vestbags that I dyed black, it looks really nice over jackets and some shirts but I rarely wear it out due to the back of it being really short and weird looking imo

What's happening with Paul Harnden these days?
I know a lot of the crowd that used to wear him don't anymore and his jap wife still raising prices. Did it all go to shit after Elena Dawson left? Even the japs stopped buying his mac coats. PH probably doesn't care either way if he has enough beer to numb himself.

Even so I miss the mac I sold...been looking for a replacement, but I can't justify spending ~$1200 for a second-hand cotton coat

As for dripping being used on other garments, Carol has already done that with bags, jackets, gloves, etc.

It's interesting enough (I'm wearing dripped workboots right now), but honestly far from the most interesting process(es) used by Carol. The various techniques and stitches employed in his tailoring are far more unique and demand more attention, in my experience.

Yeah, so carols most obviously interesting tailoring design is dead end (can be seen in the image), where the seams don't meet and everything is constructed of one piece of fabric. Also interesting is chainseam (pic related), which he uses in both dead end and normally constructed garments. Chainseam looks especially cool in jeans, imo. Self edge is another process, where entire garments are sewn with old fashion shuttle looms (like what is used in selvedge denim).

I only really care about Carol, but other artisanal designers (like taichi and ierib) have caught my eye. My next pickup from carol will hopefully be a dead end highneck, but that may be a few weeks out since Ive yet to find one I like and I just spent a decent amount on a Rick leather.

[Anonymous No.14693923]

>>14693687
kind of a minor thing but one thing I like about Rick is the zippers feel really fucking good. Always close properly, never stick. I’m assuming this goes for the other high end brands here but I’ve not had much experience with some of them.

[Anonymous No.14694230]

[Anonymous No.14694899]

With dead end its pretty fucking crazy. Basically the seams never actually meet so there's a narrowish strip of fabric uniting it all. Deepti was the pattern maker who presumably came up with / developed it, clearly she's a genius.
>>14694401
Sold that pair of jeans (known as the asymmetrical splits jeans) a while back, they were a 46. I've got spiral overlocks in kit-rtc which are also 46. Spirals fit incredibly slim compared to most Carol pants. Pic related is them inside out to show details. This iteration of spiral is also one piece construction, rather impressive to see.

[Anonymous No.14694925]

>>14694430
That isn't a scarstitch. Scarstitch literally refers to the style of stitch used in the leather jackets, and the "scarstitch" leather itself was introduced in 2009. Before then, Carol made overlock jackets exclusively, and before that, he made leather and fabric "work" jackets / Harrington style ones like what you've got. Likely a lovely piece, just incorrect nomenclature.

real life. a csm grad who used to frequent this board once told me the best place to learn about fashion is in real life. looking at obscure shit on pintrest or circlejerking with internet fashion kids on discord isnt going to teach you anything meaningful. seems ridiculous to think that a resource like the internet isnt a good place to learn but, when you understand the dichotomy between internet fashion and real fashion it all becomes clear

[Anonymous No.14695280]

this is real-er talk, not that being a csm fashion grad holds authority, but real life and actually working in the industry is totally different. 4chan meme niche shit like "lunar core" don't really exist irl. especially 4chan where it's just a continuous regurgitation of third-hand grailed purchases/experiences.

[Anonymous No.14695348]

true, i suppose. however, i do believe that the internet must have its place in valuable discussion -- i mean, i'm sure that major societal trends developed from autistic rabbling and discussion, even if the seeds of a movement were crude and unpolished.

i mean in any case designer's visions are oftentimes one vision, one meme concept taken to the extreme + the extensive fashion knowledge behind making clothes that fit such an image, of course. isn't it? i mean you can talk all grand images of a certain brand, but in the end one dude had an autistic vision and he brought it to life. it's easy to look at them in hindsight and say that they were thinking so ahead of their time, but usually it's some rabbling vision that was eventually developed into a more coherent image and fleshed out.

yeah 4chan might not be the best place, but i have a career in a city unrelated to any fashionable discussion and just want to bullshit about clothes in an internet forum. i understand that probably the best way to learn is to move to new york and go to pratt inst or whatever and have a bunch of fashion friends, but unfortunately it's not a viable option in my situation.

sure but the chats always devolve into petty tribes warring with one another and are about 99% off topic social discussion and about 1% about clothing. case and point that theyre not actually fashion chats is when alyxbot and his tribe threw a hissy fit because moderators of a certain discord refused to add a pornography channel to a "fashion" discord

the point of these chats isnt to learn about fashion its about socializing and trying to exploit people for money/clout/ resources whatever. its all rather nefarious stuff. it isnt exclusive to fashion but, anything born out of the internet version of a real life idea like photography for example always always always devolves into seperate little cliques talking shit about one another to try and gain some kind of advantage or w.e. its all really gay and doesn't matter.
