SZ first and foremost is a mens dominated forum. Ann as a Belgian is well respected here, but to be honest, Margiela's menswear is really not that good right now, Raf has lost a lot of his luster, and the (older) Japanese except for Yohji is hit and miss
There was a time when Harnden didn't get a lot of play, but now for the last couple of months he has been a god.........
although Carol seems to have dethroned him today
I think when the SZ stated, people like BBS were not around, now he is well respected and bought by a lot of members here......while others have fallen off the spectrum.
As Peasant said "they've become monotonous"
If people who are very knowledgeable and savvy have stopped contributing because of the consumerist aspects of the SZ, that's on them rather than the forum itself. Had they stuck around and continued, naturally by virtue of thier contributions there would be less of the Where2Kop going
on.
I stand by my original position though, there are many brands I wore years ago, that I'm not gonna buy now, .........its not about the color or quality of their work per se, but what they represent in my mind. my personal philosophy of living has changed and as such my clothing choices are different now than then.
At one point I owned 5 pairs of Prada shoes.......the last one is under my desk right now never to be worn by me again
