How did your style evolve?

[Farkhanyassin]

I guess so. But, I've a feeling the Preppy look is here to stay for the next 40 years. Glunge, give it 30.

fuck all that i'ma be here for another 75.

Well said. Though, I don't know how long my size 44 frame will stay. It'll be nice to wear everything I have forever.

Sorry to say that, but this does not seem to be an evolution of your style, more a succession of picking up others' styles.

[Farkhanyassin]

You could say that it's true, I'm easily influenced by something I like.

[DRRRK]

^And I respect that as long as you don't claim it's the opposite.
Needlees to mention that I like "glunge" best.

photos are an odd testimony to rick's power as a designer

This is about as good a definition of luxury as any I've seen from modern day zeitgeist-musing editorialists...

time, youth, cash - you got the world on a string my man. don't let 'em down.

I just don't understand this attitude. Are you telling me that, as you're style evolved, it simply appeared out of the ether in your brain? There was no following involved? I simply find that hard to believe. I recall a quote, I believe by a composer that went
"Originality is the art of hiding your sources."

If this is the case, then perhaps the above poster is a little less skilled than others on the forum, but it's still hard to accuse only a select group of picking up styles from others. We all do it, and we all do it a lot. At best, the people on this forum have picked a slightly smaller niche than most others.

Also, I deeply respect managing more than one aesthetic. Keeps people from going stale.

wait, so you changed several times, each time changing into a past outfit just for this?

man...you're fine by me, but that's not a document of style evolution; it's a portrait of privileged adolescence which you're still well in the throes of.

Quoted for truth. I've seen people accused of bandwagoneering here on SZ in my short time here but none of them have deserved that title more than Farkhanyassin's series of pictures above.

The problem is, like DRRRK said, this hardly an evolution, it's more of a trend list for last decade. There is no substance in any of this, just costumes, it lacks honesty. It's just a trail of 'cool' leading the wearer nowhere closer to any sort of personal style. You need to find other reasons to dress the way you do other than your peers and the media. Ultimately, all that effort gets you nowhere, the clothes wear you, and you look more lost than ever, and clearly money can't buy style. Regardless this 'evolution' ends in a poor joke.

And this is beyond 'niche' brands; there is a logic to the evolution of my style. There is a story there, a clarity to the shifts and adaptations right back to my first notions of my appearance.

And the whole 'managing more than one aesthetic' is total bullshit..what is gained by that? a life long pretender..
..any style you can fake we can cop better


sorry for the negative train..but someone had to call it

... There is no substance in any of this, just costumes, it lacks honesty...

wooo boy well said i agree completely .
it does seem to lack somethin genuine , like ur just wearin rick cos its kinda trendy. i prolly wouldnt think that if i had seen your "evolution" as somethin like early raf to junya to current: rick owens , but goin from popped collars to timbaland boots to now RO... idk seems kind of a weird jump .
but then its possible u may have just discovered somethin u do genuinely like ; only time will tell if its another fad for u . now if he starts bustin out yohji fits im gonna start lulz'in like crazy
