The Future of RetailWould you buy through product placement on a videogame? Will new wearable technology allow us to simply look at someone and find out where to cop their style? Bobbin

The Gender DivideMen are wearing skirts, girls are in shirts and we don't care. This is more about the male/female approach to internet fashion.dwindling
12
The new "YBA"there is a new crop of young trained- in-london "sportswear" designers. ex. astrid andersen, shaun samson, kit neale, martine rose, nasir mazahar, craig green, and stylists such as matthew josephs. They seem to be pushing a new kind of aesthetic. thug couture maybe? Interesting to talk about vis a vis a lot of things. gender, concepts of high fashion vs low fashion. inspiration. romanticizing of certain "lifestyles" etc. any ideas?
13
Music (maybe just hip-hop?) and FashionThis topic has been covered to absolute death, I know, but the relationship between music and fashion remains strong. Some things to talk about: Hedi Slimane rising alongside "saviors of rock and roll" like the strokes and libertines, Raf pulling inspiration from rave and gabber subcultures, and ESPECIALLY the growth of fashion in rap as a result of kanye west, ASAP rocky, etc, making the likes of Rick Owens and Givenchy into household names much more so than before. Dressing well being an aspirational thing instead of just dressing expensively. Rappers pronouncing Givenchy incorrectly. I don't know.

FakesKnockoffs and counterfeits, the reasons people will buy fake things (esp. of things that are less obviously status symbols), the ethics of h&m and zara "stealing" designs And the ethics of designers stealing from other designers.Bobbin
15
Luxury Fashion & the InternetWhy has it taken luxury brands so long to adapt to the internet? E.g. Rick Owens is only now opening an online store. Is anyone doing it successfully yet? Surely livestreams and low-res runway shots are not the best way to present your collection to the world- but what are the alternatives?. Why are all luxury webstores (Mr P, LN-CC, Tres Bien etc) fucking shite? Can the online shopping experience be improved upon and be made enjoyable and exciting or is it doomed to be a lobotomised spiritless husk designed only to sell facile products to boring turd-men as quickly as possible? Or is an "editorial"-spewing shop-cum-magazine topfivemusthavesfortwentyfourteen what the people want?

highstreet and realistic spending the sort of people who like fashion but arn't making the money rquired to go all out on baller gear down to their tees and breifs. mixing highend gear with highstreet chains in a way where it looks almost seemless. what's worse when you buy a new acne coat and someone says they saw it in topman, or when your topman coat gets called acne, and as a continuation why is zara the antichrist when stuff like cos is perfectly acceptable?. is saving for a few months to get something you really want a better feeling than monthly highstreet care packages, what can be substituted and is seen as replacable, and what can't be found on the street. i know some people have views on this, would be interesting to get some discussion goingmaj
