that's good advice. paper is structurally similar to fabric, particularly felt, and good paper is made out of longer, softer/fluffier fibers, as is good fabric. when you're looking through the paper, the difference between the "mash" and the longer fibers you're trying to describe is exactly this, plush the mash look means you have inconsistent thickness. i never thought to look at it through light though, i just touch it and look closely at the surface.

if you have any tissue paper around, it's similar enough to fabric that you can drape toiles with it; it has a similar grain and crossgrain and even responds pretty accurately if you drape on the bias.

The adidas collaboration gives Rick access to technology that he doesn't have available; specifically these unusual soles, none of which can be made on the tools that are available to Rick through whatever factory he contracts his footwear to. It's the same reason he agreed to the Eastpak collaboration, which was a brilliant little collection; he did it to get his hands on a heatlock (?) machine they had.

fashion has surrendered to big business

the end is near for Rick, big business destroys all good things.

The entire reason we know who Rick is and why he works in Paris instead of LA is because he sold out to Italians and accepted a nod from Wintour, nearly 15 years ago. None of us were into or aware of him when he was actually cool, so saying "ey i liked rick since crust that was five years ago!!" gives you no more agency to the clothing than someone who showed up after hearing the name in a rap song.

it really does not surprise me that the kid who is so utterly lacking in self awareness that he doesn't associate harassment across multiple websites with stalking would defend himself by saying, "i only spent a little bit of time doing it!"

i didn't have a melt down; this isn't offense i am expressing, it's disappointment. you might recognize this as the only emotion your parents have ever expressed towards you. i do not care about insecure little boys, but i do care that you're poisoning what value superfuture has had in the past by harassing people who have actually contributed interesting posts about fashion and the technical aspects of design. you don't have to deal with these consequences because you don't give a fuck about fashion, you're here to act out with your corny friends, but as a direct result of the stupid, stupid shit you post you're driving away people who came to talk about what this site was nominally started for.

did you seriously just stalk over to my tumblr, thumb through hundreds of posts to find an unflattering photograph, and then imply that anyone but you is the pathetic little dweeb, before prancing off to chat to continue to complain about what an influence i am in your life?

if a little joke about the corniness of milan throws enough shade that you're going to act like this, maybe you should use the ignore function to save yourself the drama of reading my posts. i'd certainly appreciate not being the subject of your insecurities, you sad, skeevy little boy.

let's ignore his body type and just worry about how awful the outfit would be on anyone of any build

"milan fashion week" and other bad jokes

Is there a thesis for the collection that I can read?

Because honestly I don't understand why this deserves tears- needs more context.

"thank goodness helmut lang retired and left all this market space for me to occupy"

i think a lot of ppl rep skirt fits (n other fits w dudes in typically feminine clothes) for little purpose other than giving off the impression they're some super open-minded individual totally down w breaking ~gender boundaries~ as a #fashion statement w/o considering if it actually looks good first...

trouble's fit is dope tho

"why would someone do or wear something that i, personally, do not like??"

A pastor I know, who gets a more privileged vista of human suffering than I do, told me she was sick of the phrase “first-world problems†— not just because it delegitimizes the perfectly real problems of those of us lucky enough to have enough to eat and Internet access, but because it denies the same stupid trivial human worries to people who aren’t. Are you not entitled to existential angst or tedium vitae if you live in Chad — must you always nobly suffer traditional third-world problems like malaria and coups d’état? If we’re lucky, we graduate to increasingly complex and better problems, and once all our material needs are satisfied we get to confront the insoluble problem of being a person in the world.

 

Even if we someday solve all our societal problems, people will still be unlucky in love, lonesome and bored, lie awake worrying about the future and regretting stupid things they did and wondering whether it’s all even worth it. Utopia will have an unendurable amount of hassles to deal with, endless forms to fill out, apathetic bureaucrats, taxes, ads and bad weather. Time will still pass without mercy.

I dream of eating coffee and chocolate Gelato with Hatsune Miku and Rick Owens. It’s alright. I prefer the abstract dreams.

What? It's nearly Molly's outfit in Neuromancer.

SCENARIO - A CHARACTER IN A WILLIAM GIBSON NOVEL

what is happening in your life that causes you to act out like this

also my house is a reclaimed bunker from hitler's pacific wall. i heat it with a massive copper brazier as the south wall was bombed out by allied shells. as an added bonus, i can hotbox the place simply by throwing huge spears of pot onto it
