      I hate to sound nitpicky but I think we can make a better effort to straighten out garments, zip them up, etc. when photographing garments on the floor - properly "merchandise" them if you know what I mean. I know some of the pics are placeholders, but I hate to see such nice things lying haphazardly on the floor.

      I think Tweeds has done an excellent job of what I'm talking about: http://stylezeitgeist.com/forums/sho...23&postcount=4

        I don't think this has been brought up yet, but it may be a good idea to have a misc. category for those who have awesome pieces that are of unknown provenance, vintage, bespoke, custom made, or severly altered from their original form, etc.

                Thank you, everyone, for their contributions. Let's try for better pictures though - some of them are still not up to par. Please reread the posting guidelines.

                    Also, to improve searchability, we should standardise keywords, for example:
                    Mens/Womens v Men/Women v Men's/Women's
                    Spring/Summer v Spring v S/S v SS
                    Year of collection in 2 or 4 digit format, etc...

                      I will not know/remember information from every piece I expect to post. Please send along information if you happen to know something I don't re: the garment.

                      Thanks in advance,

                        I think some extravagant pieces (like the Balenciaga dress MBD just posted) really need a fit pic to be properly understood.

                          I can replace one image with a runway shot, but you'll miss out on details I captured of the interior lining...I'll try it for now.

                          Thanks,

                            That's easy for me to correct if you need assistance.

                                MBD wins a prize for "ridiculously awesome garments in a single wardrobe"...

                                Just saying.
