^ aw man, and here I thought that the 60s were a golden era of American automobiles. Look at how generic they look now. Almost everything looks exactly the same.

I will still forever love a '65 black and chrome Fastback. That is great design.

Something i have thought about for a while, but have a hard time exploring or understanding, is the "vibe" i get from certain clothing.

Why does a shirt from H&M feel lifeless, compared to another basic t made by wings and horns? There is something very different to me, and its not based on price.

It's also not just about design, it's about quality and craftsmanship and a hands on approach that fast fashion doesn't ever seem to have. I've noticed a few designers that gave me this feeling just from trying on their clothing. Patrik Ervell, Old Geller stuff, Odyn Vovk, Wings and horns, Viridi anne, and some no-name brands that i have found just tinkering through consignment shops etc.

This is kinda like a clothing philosophy, but i really think there is a different energy with clothes made with intention and executed for the sake of enjoyment and craft rather than for business. Energy transference possibly?

Can anyone add to this, or am i just a dirty hippy?

Wow. I guess he just hates cars...

Thanks for posting!

"Gestalt

Dieter Rams complained that the word “design” was ruined by the fashion industry and marketing. They sell products as “designer products” that aren’t necessarily good representations of good design. He suggested that we be called “Gestalt Engineers” - Gestalt is the German word for "form" or "shape"."

Dig enough in the shopping section and there are plenty of threads on the philosophy of clothing. Add to them. Yes, we know exactly what you are saying. Though if I talk about Pirsig again I feel like people will tell me to shut the fuck up cause they heard it all 10 times before.

trying on robert geller stuff certainly gives me a certain feeling...of sadness

I liked fashion more when it was taboo (whether due to time or place) for straight guys to like fashion.
