It does get me thinking though. Genuinely. Though my background is in graphic design, it gets me thinking of a current trend of "Brutalism" or "Anti-Design" currently going around in the design community. I do wonder how much connection there is to this style in fashion having to Brutalism. Like if it's similar but different, sort of how Y2K goes gannd in hand both in fashion and design, or minimalism, etc. Maybe its just, just "Brutalism"?

Your interior design analogy is on point. The best advice I can give, to anyone who even cares, is to have an empty clothing rack to to pick pieces from your other racks / storage and set them up on the empty rack. Also, I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned this in a video before, but body type has a lot to do w/ what can be pulled off and what can’t be. Also a big advocate for androgyny and having a uniform. Statement items can be added when / as required. But hey, who’s going to listen to me - it’s not like I know anything 🙃

[@garyburke6156]

this is the great pendulum of art for hundreds of years that you are touching on here, which manifests in fashion, graphics, music, anything that is an art form of humans. on the one side is Neoclassical - rules-based, simple, minimal, derived from principles of proportion and color that are laid down in advance. orderly. in graphic design its grids and formulae about margins and font sizes. in music its rules of harmony and chords. in fashion its clean minimal fits or the rules of fine English or Italian tailoring. On the other side its Romanticism. Chaos. Emotion and randomness. In graphics its grunge style or graffiti. In music its jazz or punk. In fashion its avant garde or what you just did your video on. The swing between neoclassicism and romanticism has gone back and forth for hundreds of years in all art forms and you're on that pendulum right now. we all are. great work.

mfs wear all black and random peices that aren’t underground, they just can’t be found in a mall and call themselves a villain. i was mfs for a while but now being into fashion is getting so boring that normcore is fun just bc it’s something different. the problem with fashion is that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish between just liking a certain aesthetic or liking the “individuality” you think it will give you. it’s just human nature that we will always get desensitized to what we like now. we will always grow tired of something we like NOW. it’s the exact same for music, your favorite song NOW is probably a different song than was it was a year ago

you're giving them way too much credit. it's literally bondage cargos,rave pants, or skinny jeans. Some rick owens footwear or just platform shoes like new rocks etc... and an oversized jacket with shoulder pads usually. And all black. What's so hard about making these things work together?

[@milosssss9591]

Most of the ppl wearing these outfits come from the gucci t shirt, balmain jeans and jordan retro 11 era. Like he said, most ppl are still in that era. It’s the boldness to try rave pants, or big ass rick boots. It’s not some niche avant- garde style anymore, they’ve made it applicable to streetwear. So at a basic, entry level, sure it’s not hard to work together. However, the creativity shows for the top-tier fits. Mixing the textures, materials, proportions, it’s far more sophisticated from your typical streetwear outfit that’s cotton head to toe.

[@milosssss9591]

I think the gallucks example shows how though it’s all black, the textures and proportions still matter to make it work. Can easily fall into the trap of trying this and it comes out terrible.
