mixing vibskov with alden is label perpetration, to borrow a term coined by OMC, because they appeal to entirely different demographics and have antithetical aesthetic sensibilities. get it?

while i truly appreciate the constructive criticism that was offered here and in no way want to discourage it...

label perpetration is seriously such a waste of time to think about...i wear my april 77 with zegna couture shoes...and personally i am happy with the way it looks ...the concept you are talking about is much more relevant to the buyer for a boutique...where the intent is to try and create a image or look ... which they then sell to people who don't know any better...

part of maturity of style surely means you get to put together your own outfit..not dictated by marketing departments....buyers...demographics...

there may be any number of reasons to choose the labels that you wear and the pieces that you buy...i know for one that if i like a piece whether i am the intended audience is not really a big consideration...

^^^Thanks for sharing. It seems like, with just about everything in life, there are many ways to dress.

Maybe it's just a "to each his own" type of thing.

I can't remember the last time I picked up a fashion mag. All this stuff to me is relatively new since before SuFu I spent my time focused on motorcycles and didn't give a shit about what I wore or how I looked like.

I appreciate posts like yours Hap. Just thought I'd let you know. Cheers.

I knew this was going to happen ahead of time. I felt special when I was told too

[tangerine]

what you say is so very obvious, but off point. i am not calling for fashionistas to be in a prepetual state label-bondage or for certain labels not to evolve. but i dont think it qualifies as evolution when a label floods the mass market with contrived and arbitrarily "new styles". fred perry and lacoste come to mind for i don't like most of their newer designs. being "freed" in your sense of the word means giving in to the wanton demands of the mass market, and in my opinion this is worse and not better.

what i was getting at is that it is easy to identify a novice consumer by their poor coordination and vice versa: smart consumers who know about fashion and the history of labels dress smartly. to analyze the elements of lowrider's fit, one notices a pixelated pigs face woven into the unnaturally bright white finely knit cotton--a very modern/futuristic garment necessarily machine manufactured. his alden shoes however were a more natural cigar brown tone and of a more traditional composition. as a general rule, it is safe to say that certain labels just do not pair well together. for example, i do not think dior homme denim looks good on hypebeasters due to their oversizing, even though they are probably the largest consumer group of the 21cm range.

robideaux, you may have misunderstood what I mean about the redefinition of labels like lacoste; I am talking about the basic polos, that were worn by upper-class country club kids when I was growing up, being adopted into street style. The label or image was co-opted, in my opinion. I am not talking about their newer attempts to be hip.

Also, regarding "perpetrating", my understanding of the term is that it relates specifically to athletic brands; don't wear adidas tracksuit with nikes. I have never heard it used outside the context of athletic brands, although it is something I think about for reasons you have stated.

I agree that the more knowledge one has of fashion, textiles, color theory, etc., the more likely one is to put together an aesthetically pleasing outfit. But I am also interested in the "happy accident", or the occasional flash of brilliance brought by someone who doesn't know the rules and breaks them with unexpectedly interesting results.

Some say you need to know the rules in order to break them effectively; I think this is a worthy topic for discussion.

perhaps, hap, for an experienced consumer such as yourself label perpetration is a waste of time to think about. you have been playing this game long enough to have acquired a tacit understanding of how fashion works, what is currently fashionable and unfashionable, as well as what you like and feel comfortable in. its great that you are confident enough to rely on your intuition, but for a newcomer to this game who does not yet fully grasp the dialectical relationship between mass and high fashion i think it is important to be very label conscious, as well as logical and methodical about how and what one choses to piece together.

To suggest the opposite, that all people here--even newcomers--should bracket out knowledge regarding the connotations of labels/demographic consumption patterns and simply assent to their naive intuitions to craft a truly personal and mature sense of style is nonsense. To do such would be to allow our unconsious pyschological mechanisms and incidental personal histories determine the future status of our tastes. Style would be reduced to mere indiosyncrasy--a line of reasoning which i've already openly denounced. It is obvious that the two are ontologically distinct and not equivalent.

I think that newcomers should let reason direct their style at first by paying careful attention to labels, history, the designers, as well as their aesthetic visions. then only after considerable familiarity with the dynamics and semiotics of fashion should they trust their fallible intuition to safely guide the way, disregarding the labels and their connotations.

Hey robideaux - do you have any recommendations on how a guy like me would get started? Any books you'd recommend I read? Sites? How did you develop your highly refined sense of fashion? Looking forward to some tips, maybe even a primer or at least an outline.

Cheers.
