>> No.6675656

if we're talking exclusively about fashion, i think having a slender androgynous body like andrej pejic is the most ideal.

it allows you to wear, and fit a much wider range of garments than you would be able to with nearly any other body type because you will have access to clothing designed for both women and men.

a large bust, large muscles, or any sort of irregular (to standard measurement) body shape are not very advantageous in the context of fashion because many brands do not accommodate for them at all.

it depends on how quickly you want to learn and how skilled you want to be at it.

taking classes will be the fastest, and youll be able to make much better shirts more quickly than the other options.

if your friend who goes to fashion design is really good at teaching you, thats the second best option.

if your only option is learning from books and the internet, go for it, but you will take a very long time and probably not be able to learn very much.

I'm making a slow permanent move to tech/work bearmode sorta thing, I mean here are the pros:

respected
feared
loved by women (truly all women have a desire for strong men, sluts and good girls included)
loved by gays (even you faggots want a bear, don't you)
can actually physically do things/ utility/climb mountains build houses whatever
better/more regulated test levels (more in control, happier, etc)

I mean.. it ruins a silhouette because fashion is still stuck in an era that recognizes strong humans as troglodytes and markets to such

I believe fashion will one day recognize the beauty not just of a strong male form, but the beauty of nature in which inspires our clothing and makes our clothing, as well as the ability to experience life and nature in a more personal way than viewing it through screens.

I mean.. what's more /fa/ than mountains?
/fa/ thinks /fa/ means cool. but you'll learn one day these vanities weren't worth your time and money. 'Fashion' is just another word for consensus, and the current consensus is stupid. Here, france, MFA, it's all fucking stupid.

Same thing goes for massive bulk. Looking bearmode/like Arnold is considered unattractive to some.
Having clothes that fit better and looking somewhat muscular is more aesthetic.

>> No.6676295

>>6676017

>Why are models size 0 then?

they arent always, it depends on the demographic the designer is marketing their clothing toward. generally, size 0 models are used for mid/high end clothing, or cheaper clothing marketed toward younger women.

>The general public isn't that small.

Sure, but the companies that use that size model arent marketing toward the general public. They have a designated range of sizes that they are interested in accommodating.

>Mass production would accommodate the average person, which is getting larger every year.

Mass production does accommodate the average person, but only the brands that are designed to sell to the average person.

Youre conflating high end ready to wear and runway demographics with the average person, but the reality is, the average person is not who the garments you see on the runway are sized and designed for (more often than not).

>>6676035

>Some girls might not like skinny guys, thus you are eliminating part of the female pool.

Thats not relevant if the bottom line is dressing well, clothing doesnt have to be a means to an end, it can be an end in and of itself, it just depends on how you prefer to approach it.

The simple reason is that large muscles only look good nude. This is because you naively assume bigger is better looking at a nude body.
Putting clothes on changes the shape completely and that's what fashion is about. Looking good in clothes.

Otter mode is /fa/. Most of the kids who disagree don't have the discipline to train and diet well, so they resort to clothing as an artificial mode of boosting self confidence and attractiveness.
