Don't worry, dude.

I'm sure this is the kind of shit my wife would try to have me wear. Clothes shopping with her is a fucking nightmare. Why do hispanics have to be so fucking feminine?

Sure, but that's part of being on the leading edge of fashion - you have to do stuff that's "crazy" to push it forward. No need to like everything a designer does.
Title: Re: Alexander McQueen is dead
Post by: Mupepe on February 11, 2010, 04:22:16 PM: No need to push design forward. Conservative is the best style. Like those douche bags who went to high school in suits.
Title: Re: Alexander McQueen is dead
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on February 11, 2010, 04:23:56 PM: I think you have to be pushing the limits of design to understand what works best about the classic styles and make them feel fresh again. saying "everyone just dress like they're an extra on Mad Men" isn't really gonna be interesting for more than a few days.

He also has a lot of really good conservative styles along with his crazy runway shows.

Here is Spock in a McQueen:

Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 11, 2010, 04:25:17 PM: :heartbeat conservative high fashion :heartbeat

I also work in education, so I have to be a little more conservative with my duds. It's not like I work for a game company or anything...

edit: Besides, it's not like I can justify spending that much on clothes...

That's a beautiful suit, but I hate the hat. The whole bowler/fedora look creeps me out thanks to the overabundance of neck bearded weirdos pairing it with their ugly trench coats.
