I think is insecurity; dressing like a "ninja" or covering most of the body compensate any flaws they may have self perceived or feel. My opinion is, it will look good on kids, building confidence and whatnot, but if you are 18+ then, it will look weird and not necessarily good nor dope.

Insecurity can work both ways as it is created from fear. It might stop you from doing something or get you to do something.

Let me give you a piece of advice Anon, in the fashion world there's no space for insecurity, you either know what looks good on you or not at all. If for some reason "goth ninja" is helping you transmit your personality (and if it is a good fit, good fabric and suit your style) then, by all means, wear it. At that point it doesn't matter what strangers think, except when there's a strict dress code like semi formal or formal. Have a nice day.

im going to state the obvious here. its becoming clear to me, that if you look at much of the ridiculous fashions on this board, like goth ninja, tech wizard, urban warlock, post apocalypse survivor, they all are somewhat 'video game' inspired. these fashions are mostly popular with younger generation people who were raised on video games like mortal kombat, played fallout games as teenagers, and all of these influences unfortunately are being expressed through todays fashions. this nonsense is the product of a generation addicted to video games. sad, really.

The whole point of what I'm (and everybody else in the thread is) saying is that you have to be of a certain age to pull of the Gothninja look. You need to be well past the age of self-consciousness. You need to be fully secure, and can't let the clothing wear you. If you have a baby face, trying to pull off head to toe Rick, you look ridiculous.

Way to go, you found a Rick runway piece that you don't like. That's not even what Rick's baseline aesthetic is, and how many of those do you really think he is manufacturing to sell in stores? Its a runway piece.

>Nothing by Rick Owens looks good.

Citing a fucking RUNWAY show, as proof that something looks "ridiculous" shows how little you know about the subject. Runway shows are meant to show a designers concept in as explicit and exaggerated a way as possible. Runway shows are meant to get people talking about the collection... its not a fucking look book.

And to say all Rick's clothing is ugly is absurd. If you were to take individual pieces from his runway shows—even if you didn't like the whole look—they wouldn't look as strange and avant garde... they would just have small details that made them different. Take the jacket on the right of the picture you posted. Thats really just a motorcycle jacket. If you zipped it down, and folded the lapel back, you would have a pretty standard leather jacket. Its unique because of the fit, materials and details, such as the arm zippers. However, its nothing that crazy.

Take my picture for example. Notice how the coat (if taken out of the context of the Rick Owens show) would just look like a black overcoat/topcoat. Painting all Rick clothing as ugly, just because you don't like it on the runway is dumb.

The fabrics Rick uses, the way he places seams, the colors of his clothing, the textures, the details he puts into pieces set them apart from standard.

All I'm getting out of this whole thread is that you're pissing on Rick and his aesthetic because it's not digestible, agreeable, and socially integrated, which is literally the whole point of pursuing art to begin with.

Have you actually stopped to think about the objective reality of what you're stating?
"I don't like this therefore it's bad and people should stop doing this"

You're so focused on the idea of wearing the clothing.

Not all clothing has to be something you would wear. When Rick is putting things down his runway, he isn't thinking "Everybody should be wearing these exact outfits next year".

The clothing in runway shows is meant to express the designers inspirations and thoughts behind a collection. That is art.

Why is clothing any different than a sculpture?

Oh, no I'm not a gothninja.

I don't subscribe to that style at all. I wear APC, BLK DNM and brands like that. I just like to appreciate Rick's clothing without being a consumer.

>thats the mentality of anyone who dresses in this shit.

there are going to be people with that mentality who dress in any way that you can conceive of. it's not unique to any style, nor does it wholly encompass any style.

jesus Christ teenagers these days.

you are so ridiculous.

you could probably benefit from some mind-expanding substances considering you are the most narrow minded dumb-ass bitch

ignorant

lonely

insecure

white trash

all this rude nonsense shitposting = self defense mechanism for low self esteem

before you start with your "this is 4chan" BS notice this is a fashion board - DILUTE UR SHITPOSTING with at least a little knowledge of fashion or fits...but you've never posted in waywt have you? only thing ive seen you wear are fucking cut-offs

your ignorance is baffling.

if you don't grow out of this you will have a difficult life girl-child.

every post I read is so cringe-worthy ive ignored you so-far bc why give attention-whores attention? but youre cearly beyond trash. ironically the thing you call everyone else

so before you make such stupid senseless posts - think for a second - pretend you are a mature classy lady and prince charming is watching you - wouldn't you be fucking ashamed of yourself?

>he thinks goof nigger et al. don't live off their internet meme status
You SERIOUSLY underestimate the influence the internet has on the zeitgeist nowadays.

>Ha, that would mean I could make whatever fashionable as long as I spam it on enough forums and imageboards!
Yes, this is exactly what it means, and it's exactly how fashion is made nowadays.
