Who invented Fashion?

Postby Hunter » Fri Jul 23, 2010 5:27 am

A few years back a friend of mine said that a shirt she saw was so Ugly that she doesn't know why people would buy them let alone wear them. Years on that shirt style is now in 'fashion' and now she owns a few herself and claims she loves them. Without a doubt those shirts are going to be out of fashion soon enough and I can guarantee she will hate the look of them aswell as all the other millions of fashionettes (I made that word up). How can everyone 'feel' positive towards a particular look and then when its out of fashion those same people ALL genuinely now dislike it? How is that even possible? Who controls it? Another example is how trends and fashion come back in after being hated for so long. Why and How? When you think about it deeply it doesn't make sense.

That is my question.

Fashion serves a few purposed. Including (1) to sell people shit they don't need, (2) to prove that you are socially aware, which implies a whole host of personality pluses that appeal to potential mates, friends, and coworkers; and (3) to get laid, which is our meat half's main concern. I guarantee the guys wearing loin cloths are aware of each shred of clothings' telling details.

Who invented it?

I was actually hashing out relationship shit with the ex-love of my life a couple years back (10+ years after we'd dated) and he said that one of the things that he had always really hated about me was that I didn't spend a ton of money on clothes. I was like, "You dumped me because I was broke, in college?" And he looked confused. "Persian girls go into debt to wear nice clothes, you always wore the same dress to every party and it was embarrassing, my friends used to make fun of you." That made me smile. "So you dumped me because I was smart?" LOL. He's still in debt, I still wear the same dress to every party.

It was invented by a man who wanted to troll women and their pussy whipped husbands. A fucking genius if you ask me.

you can explain fashion via 100+ different functions it serves. who cares why its there. its there and yer a fggt if you ignore it.

if someone sucks at fashion tho they will always make some gay excuse about "o i dont care" "o its not important im a deeper person than that" and its the same thing as fat ppl sayin "o its not important to be skinny" or "i dont care how i look i can still be a great person"

excuses. you do othr pointless shit all the time in your pointless life to meet your and other ppls' arbitrary social expectations, so if you cant do the most important, basic one - just look good - youre either a stupid ugly piece of shit or old, and either way worth nothing to the rest of us. so kill yourself.

Style never goes out of fashion, that's why most of you cunts are fashionable, not stylish

Well I guess it just goes to show a cyclic nature of fashion. Miniskirts are in, now they are back, where were they? Fashion forecasts are always one season behind, thats why we will see runway shows for spring 2011 in a few months. This thread is useless without a few Indy pics

You can't beat a wide brimmed Fedora, I love wearing mine. It seems my Aviator sunglasses are now back in fashion, so I now only need the Fedora to do the same and I'm an Icon.
