You can always read current articles to get a deeper understanding into designers and what they think about fashion as is. Here's a piece I'm reading right now http://www.gq.com/story/raf-simons-exclusive-interview

Notebook on cities and clothes takes a look into Yohji's development. Its organized quite sloppily but its still a good watch.

Fashion is not just a singular field, it borrows from multiple profession ( graphic/industrial/design, architecture, and art)
If you have a designer you enjoy look into their influences and what drove them to what their defining works.

thank you!

not only documentaries.
just regular movies, it should be one of your primary inspo sources.
just pay attention to what characters wear, how it looks.

I've got the books from my father, most of it is written in France. So it's like I'm decrypt books so I could understand. It's really good for a starter, getting the concept of fashion and such. I could recommend you some if you interest.

Paul Fussell's "Class"
It's available on libgen and is full of painfully accurate observations

this is awesome.

is there a pastebin dump/something compiling good menswear sites? I find it difficult to find decent inspo on this board and I'm not a fan of trad menswear like Dappered, Idleman, etc

Not that I know of. The only website that may be of use The Sartorialist.

Gentleman Gazette has long and in depth articles on different pieces of clothing and their history.He also has book recommendations.He focuses on classic menswear though

I thought it was a cool article until they explained that they were all hypebeasts falling for Instagram memes, not kids who legitimately like streetwear
