Stranger's Reactions to your Clothes?

[Faust]

i only surmise that older folks appreciate it more since they were the last generation to really take it seriously and go all out. i guess they understand the commitment, especially those old crazed southern ladies who still bust out the big hair and makeup toolbox every morning.

honestly though, it takes very little to stick out in TX. i grew up in the middle of ghetto houston and been here my whole life. everyone always thinks i'm from some foreign country.

They are also allowed to make compliments without seeming to want to get into the complimentee's pants. At least in NYC, every time you give a woman a compliment they seem to think you want to fuck them.

what were you wearing ambrosian haha

Both were InAisce. Prophet pants and a pair of sample boots. They'd just never seen anything like it, such is life in Australia.

Where are you guys from exactly? It's not that bad in Melbourne...

[ambrosian]

I'm in Perth, it actually isn't that bad here, but I spend most of my time at college so I'm in a tolerant environment. We have at least two pretty fashion forward stores here as well, not bad considering.

Last week I was wearing my Junya Watanabe patchwork denim shirt when this girl pointed at me and said "I saw that shirt in skymall!" (This one https://shop.hlorenzo.com/products/m.../wi-b011-051-1)

Yeah, most people here take "being unadventurous with fashion" to the point of religious fervour.

Especially Australian men. I've never seen anyone put so much effort into looking like they didn't put in any effort.

I think that honor belongs to the male denizens of Williamsburg.

What are the names of these two stores? Visiting my sis and some mates in Perth in June, would like to check to them out if time permits!

[Raw]

Most likely Zekka and Dilettante.

[ambrosian]

Yeah, what Raw said. Dilettante is more... colourful (they do stock great BBS too), while Zekka is an SZ shrine.

A One Of A Kind shirt allows you to show that you're an individual, that you're a little different than everyone else and you want them to take notice of who you are. These shirts are great for a night on the town, frat parties, bachelor parties, stag parties or any other time you want to stand out in a crowd.

i hope you didn't pay $350, else ya clearly got ripped off

Cheers Raw and ambrosian.

walking through St. Catherine's in Westmount the other week (wearing marvielab, carol, & m.a+ mostly), a kid starts rapping [ed: at the top of his lungs no less] "rick owens raf simons is usually what i'm dressed in!" at my face as we cross each-other on a cross-walk...

[Fenix]

^That's awesome! Perhaps just because I know how Westmount is....

MJRH, Great post.
