I talk a lot about menswear esoterica, which reads a bit like "erotica" at first glance but is literally the opposite.

Brioni F/W 2023. Too often runway shows need to be “disruptive” to be impactful. Refreshing to see an old school, stodgy brand reinvent itself in a way that feels authentic and natural. Earthy tones in luxe textures that are visually interesting but still ultimately wearable.

Hot take: Basing your style/manner of dress off a celebrity or fictional character is incredibly suspect behavior. Real life style should come from real life people. Old dudes in parks. Fashionable women who never make eye contact. Disheveled but detail-conscious parents.

Was recently reminded of a guy who found a bunch of Hermès scarves among his grandmother’s personal effects after her passing. The collection was so rare that Hermès offered to buy all of them. Instead, he had them sewn together and stitched into his tailored jackets as linings.

My $0.02: Clothing should be a marker or microcosm of one’s larger appreciation of design, attention to detail, articulation of taste, etc. It’s true this limits tidy cultural identity but is, imo, a more authentic (and scalable) expression than adherence to strict subcultures.
I think a lot of menswear right now feels lame because—frankly, and even as a fashion lover—fashion is kind of lame. It used to be that your clothes signaled something about you (e.g. punk, skate) but now fashion is its own identity and hobby, and it revolves around consuming

A reminder that ww.ww does NOT fuck with so-called “direct to consumer” brands. This is smoke and mirrors from the same shiesty crew that brought you “disruption.” If you want to save a buck then do it the old fashioned way and buy secondhand clothes off of rich, dead guys.
there's an online obsession w buying clothes at a price close to manufacturing cost. so if it costs $45 to make something, then ppl think $46 is the fairest price bc they only see the material product. direct to consumer (DTC) brands market themselves on this logic
