So I'm developing a new anti-fashion aesthetic that is much less for the runway and more for day-to-day life. Basically it involves using pieces in places that are conflicting with the statement of the pieces in general. This also includes general attitudes to have in such places.
So far I have: >wearing hard hats and high-visibility jackets in very safe places such as churches, restaurants, and museums >wearing *very* expensive and clean black genes but purposely smearing a little translucent pre-cum around the zipper area (I'm a little worried this might be more of a rocker look) >wearing expensive nike anything with the logo crossed out with, replaced with ADIDAS in crayon and vice versa >wearing raincoats when it isn't raining >paying designer-tier prices for wal-mart clothing and then thrifting the designer clothing >forcing yourself to buy clothing you dont want
Feel free to brainstorm with me.

This is the kind of Veeky Forums I miss.
Does wearing rival brands clothing in a fit also apply to this. Think adidas shoes and nike socks or bape with supreme if you're a fashion victim.
Aaron Taylor
dude im trying to start a trend of nudist fashion can we brainstorm together you have some good concepts
Jason Ward
Shut up mate
Bentley Edwards
I really like this
David Peterson
>wearing raincoats when it isn't raining
Lol I've actually been doing this lately
Benjamin Torres
kek. the more you try to escape the fa the more fa you get. reaally makes you think...
Mason King
Wear unneccessarily chunky and warm clothing and make a cut out for your dick and balls, even ass if you feel like it.
Michael Taylor
waow so innovative and ground breaking mr. user
Julian Evans
whoa.....
Asher Diaz
half of your ideas are what every major in fashion freshman first think to break the mold an make a statement (and what they fail to think is that their ideas have already been thought, made, re-made, packaged and sold).
Jayden Adams
>wearing hard hats and high-visibility jackets in very safe places such as churches, restaurants, and museums >forcing yourself to buy clothing you dont want these two are genius my man, although maybe you could take the idea of the hardhats & hi vis and tone it down into something a bit more socially acceptable
Isaiah Ortiz
This can be done also maybe by wearing one real piece with the rest being fake--the real piece being far more expensive than the fake ones if they were genuine.
I think body hair could play a huge role in it. Also wearing things like jackets, boots, and gloves, but nothing for the privates.
Kevin Sanchez
Also bonus points for 3+ layers.
Cooper Williams
I got an idea: Getting a fashion degree and then not using it.
Oh wait...
Gavin Wilson
semi unrelated but does it make any sense to pursue a career in fashion if you suffer from dysgraphia? It doesn't impact my writing, reading or creatinve abilities in any way aside from my handwriting looking weird and the fact that my drawings look like I'm a five year old.
I actually come from an artistic background (dad is a respected logo designer, mom is a journalist) and I'm certainly talented in this field save for my dysgraphia.
TL:DR: Do you need to be able to draw in order to succeed in fashion designing?
Kayden Nguyen
Maybe not entirely related but I have been getting into some anti-aesthetic stuff as well.
I have been getting into items that have good design, and at the same time evoke a playful, sometimes childish sensibility to them as well. Then I wear mostly basics with these items to both help it stand out, as well as not over complicate the outfit.
It kinda flows with my ethos. I like to be silly. But I also have a serious side to me that cares about design.
I think fashion, on the normalfag level, has gotten somewhat more serious. Neutral colors, standard silhouettes, standard pieces.
Slim is the norm, mostly because that is what all the malls are selling. Wearing skinny clothing makes you look like a fag, while wearing more looser stuff is perceived as dressing like an old man, not youthful.
Kinda rambled.

Gabriel Ramirez
Is that yes or no?
I mean, I can always go for an unrelated field and start my own novelty brand on bigcartel or something, you don't need any skills for that other than creating prints for your 10x the price gildan t-shirts that unsuspecting fuccbois will buy.
Joshua Rodriguez
Well can you draw straight lines with rulers? Like make plans of clothes? If yes, then nothing else matters. Visual sketches aren't necessary, they're just a tool you can discard if you have another way of visualizing shit.
Xavier Carter
If you want to be a designer, yeah, you need to be able to draw. How the fuck are you going to present your concepts to the team that will execute them? Or not even with a team, just by yourself to have a clear guide. Complicated, user. If you want to make a hypebeast brand like antisocial social club, go ahead, it's not difficult, but if you're the only person in the project you will at least need some concepts for the printers/whatever to make it.
Jack Morales
>Visual sketches aren't necessary
Austin Gonzalez
Yes obviously. My hands aren't shaky or anything, it's a purely mental dysfunction.
Henry Taylor
Take up some observational drawing classes
Aiden Reed
Can't I just design concepts, prints etc. with the use of a computer?
Austin Morris
Silly? What do you mean?
My family recently moved and I found an old purple nylon fanny pack. Would that be one of the items that you are describing?
I like what you're saying, but I am curious about what exactly "items that have good design, and at the same time evoke a playful, sometimes childish sensibility to them as well" means.
Jayden Roberts
prints, yes concepts, you're much better off with hand drawings, which express your style and intent of your design much better than a computer drawing.
consider something like architecture or interior design if all you want to work with is computer aided drawing programs. even there, architects still should be able to render via hand drawings
Logan Roberts
I think he means more an aesthetically pleasing piece but it is from a more children's based audience(?) Like I thrifted a Curious George sweatshirt, a show very clearly marketed for children, and wear it in normal type fits. For me this sort of shows more of your personality than just a basic type fit.
Nathaniel Cooper
So basically you're a two dimensional goof who can condense his personality into one artifact of clothing? Gotcha.
Chase Cruz
I'll look into some drawing classes then,, maybe not all hope is lost.
As for architecture and interior design, I'm not particularly into any of these, but will consider them. I just want to study something where I can make use of my passion for art (no matter how cringey that might sounds) and meet stereotypical Mac DeMarco worshipping art school chicks. Sadly I suffer from perhaps the most ironical disability possible in my case, as my father is a graphic designer (he doesn't draw on his job at all though, too bad i'm not into graphic design) and both of my parents paint in their free time. I thought about music as I write poems (lmao) and play the piano/guitar/organ well, but I live in Eastern Europe so it's a big fat meme (name one good modern day musician from a post-communist country) and there is zero audience for the music I like here. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Benjamin Brooks
I am making a image collage but Will post one item right now.
To me these shoes have a somewhat decent design shape wise. Somewhat vintage. The colorway is subtlety colorful. Hints of red blue yellow and green give it a playful vibe.
It is reminiscent of kindergarden/preschool toys in a way. But with a more sophisticated language
Julian Adams
Another item.
Basically if I had to dumb down the description it would be items with somewhat bold colors/design.
This is too direct. I would rather the clothing speak through design rather than pictorial icons
Daniel Ramirez
Way to derail my fucking thread you bitch fag. Ass monkey looking bitch nigger. Fucking shitbag whore. Fucking derailing fucking idiot fuck. Bitch shitting fuck.
Ethan Brooks
name one good modern day musician from a post-communist country >Kerli
Joshua Watson
neo/fa/ in action
Benjamin Carter
Ayy that's my country!
There's no famous Eastern European musicians simply because we need more time after being isolated from all this western culture.
Brandon Butler
shitty thread anyway op
Christopher Watson
great ideas!!!!
William Baker
>wearing the ropes leftover from candy necklaces and bracelets >wearing half winter clothing and half summer
I like these.
Mason Sanders
Guys, I've done it. This will revolutionize everything. >wearing told on bottom and bottoms on top >reverse layering >layering on your legs
