Fark&Fuuma : looking great, both of you !
Beardown, let's not take this too seriously. Those expressions you're quoting - 'shitstorm', 'zombie hunt' - weren't meant to hurt anyone's feeling, and from my point of view they're not incompatible with lively exchanges of opinions.
If this were all about simple facades, seems like people would be glad to agree to disagree but that's not what we're seeing. The fact that this discussion has taken a philosophical turn/debate proves my point and I rest my case. It's really as simple as that as far as I'm concerned.
Style is a lot more complex than the average person would ever concede in my opinion and that was really my point. If it was as cut and dry as some want to believe, I don't think we wouldn't be having this exchange.
As for the complexity of style, even if I do acknowledge it, I think that fashion - as something opposed to style on a regular basis here - , as a phenomenon, is not less complex : the considerations it implies are aesthetical as well as sociological, economical... Just look at the Allsaints thread. But let's pass.
To me style in dressing belongs to the arts of illusion : it is dressing like your own ghost, or like your (imaginary) purified self, devoid of unconscious, unassumed flaws - and making other people believe in the ingenuous nature of this appearance.
Maybe it is less a question of knowing yourself than - and even before knowing the tools you'll use to make the illusion exist - feeling the boundary beyond which it will break : a boundary between what you actally are in the eye of the others, and what they will never see you as.
Just a very personal proposition.I can see a hat, I can see a cat,
I can see a man with a baseball bat.

where we choose to place our own emphasis may affect how 'authentic' we will be perceived to be by others. the further out from the center, the more we are dealing with 'image' and the less with 'identity'...
but i'm sure there are much more sophisticated and accurate models of this already. sociology and psychology are not my areas of expertise...

I know what I find a pathetic but telling sign of this age? That everything that is personal and emotional has been reduced to that despicable word, "identity."Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
