[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, are you 22? I'm a former fashion designer, now living in DC, who finds "trends" like Normcore (I.e. Wearing Gap) and the sea clothing hilarious. Hilarious. This is why I left the industry (well, that and nasty catty people). This shit is UGLY. I love beautiful clothes and interesting patterns and styles but all this crap is is people trying to invent something and failing miserably. Its not fashion. It's marketing for the gullible to buy more crap. It's not beatiful, stylish clothing to make one look more interesting.

Thats your opinion. Many people find normcore to be a really interesting commentary on consumerism and more of a political statement then a purely fashion-related choice. I personally enjoy boundary pushing styles. While I can appreciate a J.Crew type look, or the other rather boring styles that qualify as "high fashion" in the DC area, I also like transgressive, progressive styles. Normcore being one of those, even though many people may things it's just ugly. I can see the intent behind it. Same guys for some of the more "out there" styles, such as sea goth.

OP, I forgot, what creative industry do you work in to make a living?

You didnt forget, because I never specified where I work. And I'm not about to tell the crazy harpies on DCUM.

Do you work, or live off your trust fund?[/quote]
I "just live" off my trust fund. Why should I work and take a position in the work force that is needed by the likes of you?[/quote]

Ermmmm, this^ is not me.

Yes, I do have a job.  But my point is that money is totally irrelevant to this discussion. [/quote]
