Originally posted by Heirloom View PostDude, we're always going to disagree, so i dont see the point in arguing. We have completely different ideas, ideals and attitudes and backgrounds. What you see as an interesting outfit bores me, and what I find spectacular and amazing, you consider to be a costume. I indulge in the unreal because i want to. Of course I want to draw attention, but there is nothing bad or tacky about being outlandish. That was exactly the point with this outfit. I would've turned the volume up more if I found pieces to do so with. I have even designed a wedge heel boot with a goat hair train that I will produce to satisfy my outlandish needs.
I had this discussion with my boss today, that if you look at the bigger picture, ANYTHING a guy in the 1700's wore would be considered a costume today, especially by you. Therefor I don't see your argument as a valid point in our argument. All respect to you, but our mindsets simply can't communicate.

Faust and I have had heated discussions before, and I don't really bother about it anymore. I am really happy that there in fact are people in here who are willing to discuss, and even happier that I find people with a similiar mindset, but if Faust really did hate drama, he wouldn't have dropped a provoking comment like that.
In the blog I was interviewed, and it says that I'm not only dressing like this to draw attention, but that this is a way of flicking peoples noses as society is flicking my for not being openminded enough.
If I could dress exactly like I wanted, you'd all think I'd be insane. It's not about taste or fashion. I consider compromises to be one of the ugliest things when it comes to something driven by passion.
It's the same in music.

IMO, the petulant bickering goes both ways (and a ways back in time) but I find a lot of value in each of your views. If you don't mind me saying; Faust, I think you're a bit quick to put down Heirloom's views. Heirloom, I think approaching this drama as you did here, with a well-written and respectful post will save everybody some grief - I'm sure you're used to getting a hard time for the way you dress but in my eyes you gain a lot of respect in addressing criticism in a respectful manner, as above.
You guys provoke drama in each other and I don't mind, but let's hug this one out and move on. I'm sure we can keep the discussion a bit more constructive in the future.
I have no hard feelings towards Heirloom, he knows this.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

not really "revoltingly effeminate", just ugly.
I think it would work with derbies, maybe worn without lace for a more relaxed look.Originally posted by danmanIf I could meet you in person I'd fuck you up and steal your PH you bitch. Fuck you and your site

In a way it seems that our general approach to reality would define our approach to "style" as well. Probably a bit to general, but probably impossible to find a rock solid definition.
i personally like heirloom's outfits a lot, mostly because they seem to be way more sophisticated. (damn this sounds more flattering than it was intended but..) he really seems to add something to those garments..not just wearing some brand and/or leaving all the work for the designer and finding a pleasing way to combine them. Bazilla or merz really come to my mind in this context as well. Now please, this is not meant as an offense faust (even tho in a way it really always is if u prelude a sentence like that *lol*) but if see your outfits my instant reaction is "ah..nice jacket... .Next!". But then again I'm aware that a lot of people would argue exactly the opposite way, which I totally accept. And like Faust already pointed out..it's rather enriching if ppl can discuss this topic in a civilized way, cuz it might broaden your own perspective.And through their parting lids there came and went

Mmmm, I do have lots of nice jackets ;-) This came out of my former (and too long) Wall St. career where outerwear was the biggest way I could differentiate myself. Yes, I am not the one to spend hours in front of a mirror contriving outfits (not that I am condemning others) - most of them are simple. That's why I try to buy "garments" instead of "looks".Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
