What are you wearing today?

[DRRRK]

I thought I was polite enough and my criticism was was not over the top. At least that's what I intended, and that's a nicer treatment than some other new (male) members had to go through.

[Faust]

i'm just saying - it's WAYWT. no one has asked for your criticism of the blog.

[Faust]

About Flux's style: Yes, this aesthetic (Rick, Rad, black, modernist, gothninja, whatever) is something that is absolutely 'it' right now... With that in mind it's not all that different from how many of us dress. Maybe we pick up on the subtle details of outfits and garments that have been focused on and studied with passion deeper than current 'it' trends. I remember finding Flux's blog two or so years ago when I was looking for waxing methods for denim and her style was essentially the same then. For me, it's the consistency that speaks, not the fact that it is somewhat mirrors what is new and current in fash-un.

I beg to differ. This is an extremely superficial comparison. I would not be caught dead next to those black-clad fashion victims. Thanks, but no thanks. I know exactly how Mr.Beuys feels.

Not in the view of many people... Black is to black.

Last thing I care for is the opinion of "many people"

For better or worse I must interact with them on a day-to-day basis.

with all due respect, it's cool to see you acquiring a lot of Yohji, but I'm not really convinced here. it's not the combination in particular; it looks like you're being worn.

[jgan85]

^Yohji does that, no?

think it best to have a single, or two, yohji pieces at most in an outfit (unless you're doing it like wire.artist does, of course)

and speaking yohji & waywt i would very much like to see a waywt by hanajibu with some of wire.artist's beautiful yohji pieces he acquired

i tend to disagree , i think yohji begs for more yohji , at least in my experience , an isolated piece in an outfit rarely works ... i think with this particular outfit it's the white shoes that throw it off

> moth - obviously you don't need advice from the new guy (me) on how to dress. you're completely owning it and i won't even pretend to have any advice to offer...

but just one thought - have you considered using a leather duffel carryall / medical bag / carpet bag, rather than the shoulder bags you seem to favor? a mon avis a bag carried by its handles would work well (and possibly better?) with the quite dignified style of dress you have, especially when you're wearing longer coats.

anyone agree?

> CUTUP - thanks.

[christianef]

flux to be honest the sandals are the only thing i really like in that outfit, the rest i don't hate but i don't love; it just looks like standard high end womenswear right now, when i see the rick/ann format on women & men right now i don't see personality but more current fashion awareness.
i mean obscur is rare to be seen on a girl; but it looks like a rick piece, the ann necklace im not keen on i don't see the point/purpose.
I would loose the necklace and jacket and then you would have a simple understated outfit; wear a more conventional less drapey pattern jacket, somethign maybe from mm6 ? but i mean this is my personal taste. Either way ...
`the sandals to me are striking

i think she helps a bit with richard or did at one point - maybe why she has the obscur coat and while 'in' the aesthetic doesnt really work with much else so if you want to wear the jacket thats essentially what you have to wear it with. i would have to agree with enaml, dont see how this lack any more personality than the standard rustic, loose rolled up trouser drop crotch carpe diem guidi old linea sartoria look you generally wear or seemny in head to toe ccp. i too would loose the necklace but i hate when running away from whats cool is confused for originality. if it looks good it looks good.

> christianef - i just posted this: http://stylezeitgeist.com/forums/showpost.php?p=256601

didnt realize you were referencing it already...

[snafu]

if you cant see the difference between carpe diem and carol, than rick, ann, obscur then its not worth trying to argue.
She may be the best out of the 'black clad fashion victims' but it still looks all the same to me.
Anyone can wear all black without looking like the 'ninja', my dad wears black sweaters with black trousers and black shoes, he doesnt look like he browses this forum...
It may be a subtle difference between or the finest of lines, but there is a point when you loose who you are; and become trying to be just 'another' in this case wearing a certain aesthetic and looking good in it... which is subjective. Maybe it is my judgement in the hair, face, body language of a person; this however can still be present in a photograph quiet clearly. But overall i can't see any thing original here, iv seen it a hundred times over by fashion hoppers who change their aesthetic and don't let 'THEIR OWN' develop over time.
But this doesn't look good it looks uninspiring, normal, standard, expected, predictable especially when on this forum.

To wear rick, ann, haider etc all together is less original than choosing one of the above and dedicating yourself to them, no matter how the composition sits in the outfit.

Dude, it's Twilight meets The Craft, I'm inspired.

And thanks for the Christiane F. link; shucks, I didn't know movies like this existed.

Alright then, there we are.

(Btw christianef never said there was no difference between what Flux wore and Carpe Diem etc; she said she saw no difference in authenticity.)
