This one Issey Miyake FW15. The belt ruins the fit for me, though. Looks like hes strapped in on a plane.

Outfit is a bit passive, but the coat more than makes up for it. Borderline impossible to pull off and probably too gaudy for most people. Still a nice piece, though.

Valentino FW15

>>10633657
wow, not a good start
It's not about how easy it is to reverse image search
the point is to be informative in sharing what interests you
super easy to do
post the collection
post what you like about it
this approach fosters discussion rather than shutting it down a la 'just google it'

>>10633697
I got what you meant. However, I believe that mentioning the collection will rather cloud ones judgement. Fashion also is about brand bias. Thats why we keep buying things from designers we know. We trust them, we think of them in a positive manner. To judge an outfit you dont need to know who made it. In fact, I honestly think that knowing the designer will be counter productive.

I wish /fa/ had spoilers so I could at least hide the label.

Incredibly simple, yet interesting chest piece. Reminds me a bit of tunic. Works really well with the petrol pants, a completely underused color in my opinion. I also think that this is a perfect outfit to show what high fashion is actually about. The difference a single piece can make is shown pretty well. You dont need half a dozen layers. Simplicity can be key.

I updated the Pastebin with a Sales Guide. It often seems that people do not engage in high fashion because they think that the clothes are too expensive. I agree, most brands are completely overpriced for what they are. But its way easier to justify the purchase if you get a piece for 30% off (partially even more). Also remember: everybody started somewhere. Youre not supposed to but entire outfits. Single pieces are totally fine and also more logical. There will hardly be a cat walk fit that youre fully convinced with, something will always be off.

I am open for constructive criticism regarding the Pastebin. So if you want me to add something, elaborate on certain topics etc. just say so or create something yourself so I can add it (or create an individual Pastebin if its a completely different topic). I want people to be more interested in the topic so I am fine with investing some work. I need a same space from all the CP sneakers and high school dropouts in the WAYWT threads.

As for the fit: Impeccable yet simple combination of pants and shirts. Especially the subtle pattern on the trousers. I personally think that the jacket is a bit too bright but that might simply be the calibration of my screen. The shoes look goddamn ridiculous, though. Again Paul Smith SS16.

What do you mean? Usually something that is functional has the lowest amount of decorations and frills that would make it gaudy which usually pervades most clothing. That is the reason why something utilitarian would be clean as it does not use a extra fabric or have other unnecessary things.

>>10637636
What do you mean? Most of the shows are hosted around the same time due to international fashion weeks (Paris, Milan, London, NY, Tokyo). Past that you simply do you own research. Browse through collections and catwalk shows etc. Most of the time you will know whether or not you like a designers work after clicking through 2-3 of his shows.

Wooyungmi have been my favorite collections as a late.. I see the future in it

>>10635732
It already is, yes, which is why runway shows are jumping on it. I'm predicting an 80s-90s style baggy-ness in formal that will trickle back down to casual wear.

Even though it's kinda old, it's still really striking.

>>10639395
only striking for the model's bright red hair and pale white skin contrasting with the dark clothes
the clothes themselves aren't striking

>>10639414
Let's be honest. Draping clothes can be beautiful, but not really striking. Isn't the whole point of drape to hide oneself from other people's judgement as said by Yohji? If it was striking, it would then be noticed which goes against the reason why it was done in the first place. I believe that her hair and skin make the outfit all go together.

>>10642647
yeah this is high fashion things arent supposed to make sense part of the whole thing is too see how retarded you can look while wearing fabric. Sometimes its not even clothes. Its just bed sheets people wrap around themselves.

But i digress.. I think high fashion is more of about art than it is fashion.

>>10642640
....siick.. where 2 kopp?

>>10642647
You're right, but out of the context of a runway it would be hella boring if there were 20+ perfectly cut jackets and nothing else you know?

Also some people don't want their jackets cut perfectly so there's that too

>>10642647
There isnt much of a point in wearing perfectly cut jackets because it isnt your goal to emulate a close cut fit. You have to distance yourself from believing that a suit has only one way it can be cut. When you read 'advice' regarding how suits should be cut, then that often refers to a formal way of wearing it. Business attire and so on.

The only things that actually matter are shoulders and neck. Apart from that you are free to do whatever the fuck you want. Sleeves for example arent as cut and dry as people want you to believe either. You might not even want your shirt to show in a more casual outfit, so the sleeves should be a tad longer. As soon as you distance yourself from formal wear you will realize that a blazer/suit can look whatever the hell you want it to look like.

Most people limit themselves too much, probably because they want a high fashion suit that they can also wear for formal occasions (due to lacking funds). If thats your goal then you obviously lack options. However, thats not what high fashion blazers and suits are about.

High quality basics, what's there to talk about. Putin approves though

>>10645256
Loro Piana is as far from high fashion as it gets. So I dont really see why it should be worth discussing in this thread. You want to talk about conservative basics then please do so somewhere else.

These clothes are so ugly and so are the models presenting them. What is the appeal?

>>10646321
>These clothes are so ugly
a) subjective
b) what exactly are you talking about? Most of the posted outfits use a lot of conservative pieces. Do you unironically claim that blazers, bombers etc look ugly?


>so are the models presenting them
Relevance?

>What is the appeal
Apparently its people disagreeing that the pieces are ugly. A lot of the outfits, sure. But thats not the point of catwalk editions.

Not necessary very 'high fashion' but anyone have any experience with Officine Creative boots?
Figured I might cop a pair but dunno about the quality

>>10647407
I heard quite a few good things about the quality of the leather and the very reliable goodyear welt construction. Usually from people who have owned the shoes for a while though, so I dont know if the quality is still on the same level.

My biggest problem would be the leather sole. I personally believe that leather soles are completely pointless for anything that isnt a formal oxford. Casual shoes are worn so often (and usually outside of offices) that it forces you to replace them way too often for my taste.

>>10647417
>My biggest problem would be the leather sole
Actually, I am retarded. Apparently most of their shoes have rubber soles now which sure as hell is a step forward.

>>10647417
>and the very reliable goodyear welt construction
I thought most of them are rapid/blake, you sure about this? Not that I mind either way really, they both work for me.
>My biggest problem would be the leather sole.
True, though lot of their models have leather sole with rubber parts in the middle, I think it's actually fairly nice detail because I like the look of leather soles but rubber is just way more useful.

>I thought most of them are rapid/blake, you sure about this?
From what I heard a lot of them are goodyear. I also went through a bunch of shops just now and the outside stitching implies goodyear welt. Unless they sell shoes for 450euros+ with faux stitching, which I kinda doubt.

This is Blake:

And this Goodyear.

Of course it would be easier to judge if you actually had a pair of shoes at hand.

Then again, you might be right. On MrPorter 90% of the shoes look like Goodyear while on Luisaviaroma almost all of them are Blake.

>>10647431
>while on Luisaviaroma almost all of them are Blake.
Actually no, I am fucking high. They are just shot from a terrible angle with atrocious lightning. They are goodyear as well, you just hardly see the stitching.

They're basically the same company at this point but you get the idea. I kinda laugh a little the last time i went to a y-3 boutique in HK and the salesperson heavily emphasised German designs.

He's a Japanese designer who influenced a lot of people. His clothing usually uses a lot of pleats which he re-invented and perfected so they stay indefinitely. Really interesting collections and exhibits, you should really look up his work. I have never heard about any issues with the quality of his garments, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem. Opening Ceremony has one of his lines so you can look that up to see what the brand is doing now. Look at his latest runway collection, also.
