Controversial Opinions on Fashion

[MulletProof]

I’m gonna say just to be contrarian I think he did what a lot of other designers and white people in general do to the nth degree. Not that it makes it “right” lol but it was kinda funny looking back on it, even if I do think it was stupid slop.

It was a stupid slop but please elaborate! 🧎‍♀️ you mean like basically the charade of the average NYFW success story that is taken seriously by everyone and it IS unpopular to trash aka. The Row…?

Not controversial at all, but I will sometimes look at the ig of the dumb LA dealers, the Westside fckboys, the party promoters and the occasional nameless ‘model’ (who in reality was always an escort) Virgil validated and rebranded in Paris as a circle of promising new talent, to push his image of being in touch with youth and having his hand on the pulse of a generation and whatnot, and they’re all back to what they always were (finding peeps for the trashy nightclubs they promote) and.. 🫢.

Wait who are those people, can you name names? I remember Virgil hanging out with lots of rappers but not that.

I doubt most of the new influencers know anything about fashion in the 30s, 40s or even 80s nor are they interested in it. Fashion made its last *boom* in the late 90s, also the camera quality was much better, you could record runways or even certain events. One cannot say the same for the decades prior the 90s. As for the 00s, most of the new influencers experienced it as children and just want to go back. Plus it's more culturally close to the 2020s.

idk, flappers kinda had ts on

In all seriousness, it might be a generalization but I don’t think most new influencers are even familiar with fashion in the 00s 💀 To be fair though, some earlier stuff is not easily findable or is behind a paywall and even finding documentation doesn’t mean you’ll have the context necessary to understand the importance/significance.

Even now, when I see stuff on Grailed or Insta and try to find more info to see what collection/year it’s from I’ll run into 404s or nothing at all.

To be fair, all the good vintage clothes from the 1920s to 1940s were probably purchased in the 1970s.... during the 1930s/1940s/art deco "revival" in fashion. What's left from that era for us "youngsters"?
