i mean there are a billion indie/niche brands that do dope shit at not quite brainburning prices that aren't featured on mags constantly cuz they don't have the distribution or ad pull or both. patrik ervell, stephan schneider, our legacy, melinda gloss, AMI, Billy Reid, msgm, etc etc I could list them all day.

honestly outside of maybe one or two brands* I've pretty much given up on 'high fashion' that exists on the runway. it's mostly boring to me. or irrelevant.

*ok maybe 4-5

This is still the best Nomura design, in my opinion. Granted, the CGI render of that has some weird proportions to the character but that's 90's Square.

Then he just goes Pretty stupid in Kingdom Hearts. It's like no one at Square told him "just do practical, it's where you really work."

Tell me more, bb. I really want to know for curiosity sake.

[nudemacusers]

IMO the cream of the current crop are:

our legacy - good fits, cool fabrics. kinda retro-modern.

stephan schneider - does neutrals better than anyone, dope knits

melindagloss - low key luxe shit

msgm - for 90s bros only.

patrik ervell - good use of technical fabrics

AMI - replaces APC for frenchie chic

tldr just check out eastdane, othershop, lagarconne shopneighbour, suspensionpoint, nomanwalksalone etc. and self edge if you're into heritage and denim shits.

*Google*

Spring Summer is kinda , but that Winter "Look 1/2" in the image gallery. Could maybe fuck with that. Slightly ratty ends of the jeans kinda ruin the look. 3 looks decent but the jeans are too short in the legs for my taste. Scrollin' down mgsm.it, dunno if that's what you're talking about but...

Some of the later ones seem decent but quite a few are kinda "ugh." Doesn't help the models are waif thin and don't really "sell" the look like an "in-shape" or a bit more muscle mass men would probably do.

our legacy - good fits, cool fabrics. kinda retro-modern.

Sweedes doing work, I see. Outside of the models most of these look pretty decent.

https://patrikervell.com/collections

Winter - 2015: I like the idea behind the "potato sack"/baggy trend he has going here (given my poor taste, as you already know in pants) but those shoes really don't tie the look together IMO)
Same with Summer - 2015. There's some decent concepts there but something like the shoes just throws the look "off" IMO.

AMI - replaces APC for frenchie chic

I dunno about this one. 

I don't "get" high-fashion, but some of those actually look decent. I dunno if I'd splurge $1,000+ on clothes for those sorts of looks, but I can go with some of them more than a $1,000 jacket if they're wayyyy less than $2,000 a pop for the entire look.

[thisismyusername]

All I'm saying is, pick better models if you're wanting me to buy your clothes. Those models certainly aren't helping sell the look despite the clothes themselves looking decent. I can't go "maybe that'd work on me" with these "near-Meth-using" looking models.

As if they're looking to sell realism in those ads 

[thisismyusername]

As if they're looking to sell realism in those ads 

They don't have to be dad bods. You know what I'm getting at.

I'm saying models in the vein of Clooney, Idris Elba... those sorts of men would work better than the meth-using looks of the ones that typically are on the Men's Fashion runways everytime I check those sorts of collections. Ones that "sell the look" because the model and the clothes work together to make that sort of look seem possible for various people and the type of men that are going to wear it.

*pause*

Not that that's a knock against Mac and the "meth-using" look.

[nudemacusers]

well, technically saint laurent is the most realistic since none of them are professional models



wait, do you think i'm some waify dude? 

[thisismyusername]

wait, do you think i'm some waify dude? 

No, just that you're that "target market."

What I'm more getting at is: You're not going to get people that aren't "you"/mac fashion conscious to be sold on these looks with the meth-looking/waif models. The Clooney-looking models? Yeah, that'd sell the look more to the mainstream. But given that these prices are outside of the mainstream market for most (and most men don't care about fashion, sorry Mac. ) I don't think the Clooney-looking models are needed anyway.

[nudemacusers]

i honestly don't even notice models tbh

[thisismyusername]

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm looking more for models that "fill" the look out for selling. These waif-looking models don't really sell the look because they don't seem to be the "common man" size and the clothes just don't feel like they "fit" them. Maybe it's just me and the gulf between me and fashion designers. Like I said: First impressions count and while the clothes look good if my first impression seems like it's something a drug-addict would wear instead of the "John Everyman" it's probably not going to sell to most people. (Outside of Mac. )

Anyway, droppin' this. Just wanted to "WTF" at GQ's $1000 jacket on Chris Pratt when Pratt could wear "Target" clothes and they'd still get my money for that magazine. Daddy.

I've been to a few maid cafés. It doesn't feel even the least bit like a ‘sex industry’ thing. What I saw were groups of nerdy guys enjoying the attention of girls who could keep up with their conversations about obscure manga, kaiju movies, idol pop groups, etc. They were genuinely just nice girls, and I talked to one who collects vintage soft vinyl toys. It's nerd paradise.

There's a ‘feeling liked as a service’ industry in Japan dating all the way back to geisha, that doesn't really exist in the west.

[benjipwns]

The actual issue are the HS girls who go on dates with older men for money. Again, it's not prostitition, though I'm sure there are some who are willing to get dirty with their ojisan. But either way it's sad that people feel lonely or so dissatisfied that they seek attention from young girls. You'd have to pay me to spend time with teenage girls, though to be fair as a high school teacher with graphic design classes (which means 100% female enrollment), that basically is my job.

Every time one of these threads comes up... what is with the Nazi defense force? 

I mean I'm certain they're not so dense as to understand the purpose of the trial is not just to punish someone, but for these crimes to be accounted for in the public record, for there to be a true legal decision regarding culpability, etc.

The only thing I can assume is that there are a bunch of semi-closeted Nazi apologists on there, honestly.

[WanderingWind]

The one who is keeps putting random words in quotation marks is suspect as fuck. "So you say he was a 'Nazi?' What does that even mean really?" "So he 'stole' stuff from prisoners. They were going to die anyway, so it's like, not even theft." And the hippy dippy bullshit talking about "understand how we are all parts of systems of ignorance that perpetuates further harm." Yeah, wanting an SS guard to stand trial makes us all the fucking same.

So, would all those people be in favor of releasing murders, terrorists, and rapists from prison once they reached a certain age?

[benjipwns]

What I don't get is people keep talking about standing trial or not, the trial's already been going on since April, he was charged in September. The story/complaint is that he only faces three years in prison from the charges. Some of the victims want him to serve longer. He's 94 and in poor health, he's probably lucky if he makes it through the rest of the trial, let alone three years in prison.

But I guess people gotta takes sides about everything. 

And if you disagree with me, you're a Holocaust denier. (Which is the best part of the story, he got outed by playing the "I WAS THERE" card against one.)

Come on, it's about a lot more than charging one old man.  It's about restoring credibility and faith in the Germany's government and justice system.  Even 70 years removed from WW2.  It's about fulfilling obligations to the victims and their families.  It's about history - putting it into the public record that this man eagerly shouldered more than his burden of one of history's greatest crimes, and officially determining his guilt (or innocence), in a court of law.  It's important that it's documented and not forgotten or brushed aside because he managed to evade justice for so many years.

Not my fault there's so much stuff posted that's suspect. I'm not sure what's vengeful about prosecuting someone for crimes they committed including a genocide against an entire race of people. At some point you have to ask yourself if anyone posting that shit lives in the real world. Or if there is some kind of self-interest involved in hoping that once you get to a certain age shit you do in your "youth" won't be held against you.

Then I'm even more baffled. Should we just let serial killers who are found out way later just chill out and not face any sort of justice? Do they think that absolving someone of their past crimes because they are old now is noble or more enlightened or some other bullshit?

[VomKriege]

You don't help bring the axe down on an entire generation of people and somehow wash your hands of it just because it's been decades since it happened.

I think a motive was that the axe was brought to an entire generation (though in actuality the "Denazification" was not that thorough and the current consensus seemed to have emerged a good number of years after), some might be uncomfortable with the broad brush applied to a whole set of people. That and it is 70 years remote, honestly claiming any form of insight of what happened then is a bit smug.

That said, I have no problem with the trial. That the punishment will be, by circumstances, just there for show makes it all the more worthwhile to put his actions on record.

Also, and this will sound terrible out of context, but we should lay down the pedo-paranoia sometimes. I know there's a lot of creepers over there but there's not an agenda under every rock.

Who's paranoid? Who seriously benefits from setting the precedent that a person is absolved of horrific crimes if they escape justice until they're geriatric?

It's either that or that new brand of one upping each other about who can pretend to be the more faux enlightened academic about "suffering begets more suffering."
