I've got a question. But I must explain first what I think I want. I really like the aesthetic of the artist/bohemian in the end of the XIX century and begging of XX century (pic related, it's Erik Satie's portrait, and I'll post even more pics). I know this style is outdated today, and I know that if I wear it, I'll look like a weirdo, considering the century and contemporary style. My question: How do I pull something similar-but-contemporary using modern clothing? I want to pull a more traditional outfit to honor my ancestors, since I am an artist--a poet--also.
Here's a portrait of a Russian nihilist student by Ilya Repin.
Eli Green
Here's some anarchist getting shot. He's got a pretty nice fit tbqh
Christian Rivera
Here's Tolstoy Lev, a the end of his life in Yasnaya Polyana
Dylan Gray
... and a contemporary fit, which I feel is very similar to the fits I'm looking for
Jose Reyes
The guy sports a look I dig
Brayden Carter
The things I'm saying sound very pesudish, but they're my sincere self. Pic related, my haircut and nearly the same face
Matthew Wilson
This is some kind of revival but with a fresh contemporary avant-garde style
William Gomez
It's comfy, the wool and thread, the pea coats and wool pants, but also modern, flexible and urban. Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Noah Diaz
comfiness is the first and most important part
Ian Rogers
colour ought to come second, being dark, beige and ghastly, pale. no strong colors, nothing that grabs attention
Sebastian Johnson
Am I talking palewave? No, never.
Lucas Clark
Is it urban? Somewhat, yes.
Nathan Gray
Hope I sparked some idea. I'd appreciate some inspo
Zachary Lewis
God damn, this is my exact aesthetic, i'm happy to see others have similar ideas. I'll contribute when I get home with some inspo, although this particular style is very obscure and is hard to find content for
Levi Ross
would this be considered bohemian/artist?
Ryder Brooks
I fucking LOVE that guy's attitude, and the way his body language is so cool & defiant. I guess he got his brains blown out, but that guy his exit with fucking class
Levi Cox
this best be bait
Jacob Taylor
No, that's trying to hard.. this is comfy, not that tight, not that "artsy". Awaiting it! step out your shell, user, this is the new sincerity
Zachary Hall
>comfy >those skin tight pants
Jeremiah White
it's sweatpants sweatpants are ubercomfy
David Powell

Angel Bailey
>You will never live in the world of a Cortés painting >a world of comfy rain, cafés, beauty and grand architecture >instead you live in the cold reality of the modern world >a world of cars, parking lots, malls, suburbia and where human progress is measured in profits, consummerism, consumption and wasteful manufacturing entirely for soulless corporate profit
Its an abstract feel all right.
Chase Flores
is that beeork
Christopher White
It's a staged picture and that commie looks like a fucking brat which is probably very true to his real character. If you think this looks realistic or even worse the guy looks cool you're a lost cause.
Brandon Bailey
Bump á dump. I have returned. Might take a while shifting through my unorganised folder.

this thread is retarded
none of the images posted have anything to do with the OP whatsoever
its just a bunch of random generic Veeky Forums inspo

except for this one
Jack Torres
>How do I pull something similar-but-contemporary using modern clothing? Dumbass
Brayden Miller
You could look into Hermes fall/winter 2010 and 2015

Benjamin Ross
>missing the point no "dumbass" what's been posted is not in anyway similar-but-contemporary, everything up to this point has just been random inspo that gets posted in every other thread on Veeky Forums and isn't even trying to keep with the theme
Levi Price
I thought it have been staged, but I did a reverse image search before I posted that, and the site I was led I was led to said it was real. You might be right though. I just thought the guy looked unbelievably relaxed, and anybody who has the nerve to relax in front of a fucking firing squad is cool in my book. But if it's staged that's different.
Brandon Young
I think OP is asking about broodcore.
Caleb Brooks
I agree, though i feel like this person is going for a yohji vibe instead. Maybe 2005? Or 2008? 2012 for max comfty?

Check out the menswear from designers and brands such as Anatomica, Ann Demeulemeester, Yohji Yamamoto, Arts&Science, Alexander McQueen, and Dries Van Noten. Take notes of what they're doing and apply the same details into your outfits. You could probably start with a wrinkly linen shirt or smock to emulate the feel of a loose poet blouse.
Gonna post some examples. This one's from Alexander McQueen f/w2016
Ethan Walker
Dries Van Noten s/s2015, the ballet-inspired espadrilles were beautiful
Thomas Smith
A variety of stuff from Ann Demeulemeester f/w2010, the cape is so wonderful
Isaiah Evans
Also not necessarily menswear but Uma Wang f/w2017 was intensely romantic, those textiles were lush as hell. Possibly my favourite collection of the season.
Austin Hernandez
thanks man, this is some nice inspo
Adrian Sanders
It's just commies playing pretend for a memento postcard. You just need to look at the men who are supposedly Freikorps. Some of these men have never held a gun in their life. Two people are looking at the camera, everyone is way too close to the guy being shot for their own comfort (so they all fit onto the picture). And the pose of the victim is both so juvenile it's laughable and also he's standing towards the camera giving the firing squad his side which apparently they think is fine anyway because it was just such a good picture. And why the Spartacists decided to dress their man up in such a way when they actually looked less like tossers in real life (pic related) I don't understand either.
Aiden Ramirez
My mind immediately went to Ann when I read OPs post. Her collections ooze a brooding romantic style. I think my favorite season is either aw09 (pic related) or aw01.
Wyatt Barnes
oops I meant '02, not '01
Jacob Walker
Im a fan of the style too OP. This guy posted this in a waywt thread some time ago. could prob check the unix code for when. Im not a fan of the wide pants but it does fit him.

Ann D is basically exactly what you described Some rock star stuff mixed in here and there
Jackson Clark
i dig the right most one
this looks awesome
Eli Martin
I haven't seen him in a couple months, what a shame.
love that era, imo are the best suggestions since i would have suggested something along the lines of that as well. I totally get the feel of wanting to visually represent art or poetry you feel related to or like since i'm an artist as well and wish i could pull of 1920s german or russian outfits. If you read literature from an era you love it should be easier to find clothes that characters wear and to try and mimic it yourself, i love Dostoevsky books and always want to find something to look like a late XIX century socialist student or some shit.
I also have a question, could pic related be emulated today and if so what should i get to get a fit like it?
