A lot of these look ridiculous.
But I did wear some stuff from#17 (Abercrombie & Fitch).
The hottest guys for me are from #10 (Puff Daddy): shaved head, giant thighed beasts. Probably his type .... the kind that'd put a finger in Daddy's Puff.

On second thought, maybe I’m not gay?

I can safely say I have never worn anything from anyone's fashion collection (unless you include KMart/ Walmart) let alone any of these styles. I am not a fashionable person
Johnny Lydon was surprisingly cute in.... whatever it was he was wearing

Only 3 sets of wearables: Armani, Polo, Abercrombie. The rest of it? AYFKM?
by Anonymous | reply 5 | September 12, 2024 12:08 PM |
4. Comme des Garçons, 1985
1 Armani, 1989
8. Gucci by Tom Ford, Spring 1997 (I was a bit long in tooth)
23. Helmut Lang, Spring 1998
I've worn the other designers clothes but not the specific collections noted.

Only a handful of these collections "changed the way we dressed." The rest remained abstract fodder on the runway.

Who is the designer that put a baseball cap on a model? That designer influenced men’s fashion more than all these people combined.

There are a lot of things I don't understand, but the thing I don't understand the most is fashion.

Maybe it's time for the cerulean speech from Devil Wears Prada again. Some of this stayed on the runway, some of the individual pieces may have been worn a bit by fashionable big city people. And then some of the more saleable ideas put in department stores. And then some of the colors and styles diluted down to more everyday shoppers. Is that fair to say? I don't really know how it works.
A couple of these collections are meant to be outrageous but quite a few have wearable suits, pants, shirts. The trickier stuff to me is designers that not only don't look like they make everyday wear, but also have silhouettes that'd be hard to just drop into a closet. Maybe a clever dresser could match Rick Owens with the Japanese designers

I guess some folks have jobs and social lives and the means where they can wear more designer things. Some people really wear some of this stuff going about their day in NYC or London or even LA.

R7 needs The Cerulean Monologue.

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- wait a minute. #20 resembles "Beetlejuice stripes"?!? The model on the right in the long stripes didn't or doesn't strike anyone of, oh I don't know, a concentration camp uniform? Adding to that is the Kapo-esque cap and the too-thin model. As designed by a member of an "experimental" group called the Antwerp Six, I have no doubt that this editorial look was meant to shock and appall. Instead it shows up on a list of designers who influenced the way we dress. (Cue: Cerulean Monologue again.)

I don't think anyone, even the designers, expects people to actually wear these clothes. Fashion is all about creativity, not clothes. Maybe some of this will eventually filter down into the clothes you see in stores, but that's not really the point.

I assume the nutty runway stuff is just brand-building for their ready-to-wear lines?

Dries Van Noten makes awesomely detailed clothes, but they are dry-clean only.
Thom Browne is kind of like a striver souvenir - four stripes on every conceivable surface. You’re not wearing Eton cosplay clothing; you’re wearing Thom Browne! Fuck him.
Raf Simons (like Georgio Armani 1989) makes me look like a child who is trying on adult clothing. I’m too short for long and flowy.

Only Armani and Abercrombie & Fitch influenced my dressing style. The designer brands I wore most were Kenzo, Dolce and Gabbana and Paul Smith. Prada only for shoes. I'm a more "I wear the clothes" kind of guy instead of the clothes wearing me". Always had an appreciation for Comme des Garçons and Gaultier but at 6'2" with a big frame, I've never liked feeling costume-y. Hedi Slimane and Tom Ford seemed to work better on slighter, very slim men. I could only pull those clothes off in my 20's when the most fashion I could afford was Fiorucci. Now I'm retired and live in t-shirts, sweats and sweaters. My style inspiration was always old Hollywood. Cary Grant. Gary Cooper. I worked in the fashion industry for 30 years but was more comfortable finding my own personal style than changing the way I dress when certain trends hit. Let's face it, the fashion industry works by making people feel they need to adapt to change.

I would pretend to enjoy Thom Browne but it would take some exposure and practice. I'm tall. I'm programmed to avoid high waters and too short sleeves too.

Thom Browne makes some sense on YOUNG men. Under 50. Under 25 even better. That's my opinion.

At first glance, I thought that was a pic of ‘miss Jane Hathaway’ of Beverly Hillbillies fame.
