Is Fashion a load of bollocks?

mfceiling

Sitting watching tele with herself last night and she's watching "Off The Rails". They were talking about someone who's a "face designer" - taking that to be someone who puts make up on women's faces and not a plastic surgeon. They were going on about how she worked for some of the world's biggest fashion houses Is it not all a big pile of sh*te?

Standing in a fancy shop in dublin with herself one day (she's buying a voucher for her brother). Sales man comes up to me and starts yapping about this years trends and what is in fashion. He then asks me about my "winter wardrobe". I told him it's the same as my summer wardrobe only i wear a coat as well (still not sure why a man needs separate wardrobes for each season).

Missus and me are out for dinner with friends of hers one night and they are going on about clothes/fashion etc. One of them mentions a "winter white" coat she had bought. I asked her what exactly is winter white. She tells me "it's cream but it's more winter white than cream"......cue vigorous nodding from all the women.

Seriously is fashion not just a load of balls?

Being fat is the new black.

Yes but people won't admit it. There is some serious rubbish out there that people try to pass off as fashion.

Skinny jeans on men, need I go on.

brummytom

Yes it is. Also, people who consider themselves 'into fashion' are ****.

You should have pulled out your lad, shot a blast of bollock-champagne on her dress and asked her what colour that was. Stupid bimbo.

I've taken my fashion tips from lady gagagaga and now wear 16 packets of Galtee Bacon (oak smoked)

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Oscar Wilde

Rothko

Yes, I don't understand why anyone care about fashion trends.

flutterflye

Course it is.
I don't see why anyone follows it at all - bloody empty headed lollipops.
The thing is though, it's not just the dumb air heads - I have a friend who reads all those cleb mags and is forever following the latest fashion, but she is super intelligent, has a masters from trinners and has a great job as a researcher.
I don't know - leave them at it I guess.
In the mean time I'll just stick with wearing what I like instead of what I'm told to like

franktheplank

Pssh - Giving out about fashion is soooo last year.

Rebelkell

When i'm stewing in my ****e job i draw great comfort from the fact that anyone in the fashion industry is in a more meaningless occupation than me. And my job is meaningless i can assure you!

Seaneh

Fashion is a load of balls, but some current fashion trends are amazing.


This summer was hotpants what wer little bigger than knickers, "jeggings" and yoga pants plastered to the amazing arses of Galway's finest chungwans from march until late september.

So fashion has some uses.

I wasn't paying proper attention to the radio there in the car, but I think they said that lady gaga was wearing a bra made out of teeth?

Paul Galvin left his teaching job to become one of these fashion obsessed males like Brendan Courtney writing articles and wearing the most ridiculous ill fitting clothes.

I respect him for his football skills but this attention seeking hipster bollicks off the pitch has to go.

Fashion wreaks.

gobnaitolunacy

What is the point of these high falutin' fashion shows with clothes NOBODY is ever going to wear?

Bits of tinfoil/tinsel/used milk cartons and sh!te on a model that looks like shes taken a two week break in Somalia?

Enda was officially a Teacher and still employed by the dept. of Education until a year or two ago and now draws a dept. pension.

Fashion for me generally goes as far as deciding which band's t shirt I'm going to wear.

castletownman

I consider myself fashion conscience in terms of what to wear for each season. GAA jersey during the summer. Soccer jersey during the winter

Yes, he left his job.




On a career break.

I am a woman and I dont get fashion eithe I live in a pair of jeans.

Fashion is a load of bollox. And whatever style is "in" at the minute is ridiculous. There's girls walking around everywhere looking like they covered themselves in glue and fell into a skip full of shít clothes. And to top it all off, they all have this messy hair like they've just been attacked. The mind boggles.

And don't get me started on people who use the word "fashionista". Fukn imbeciles.

Fashion is just a hobby people have and there's nothing wrong with that. Some people are fashion nerds and seem to think that what they think applies to everyone else which is just narcissistic. Still, a lot of people just see it as something fun to do with their time, reading about it, making it and wearing it. I don't see the problem with that.

It's the people who think it applies to everyone else that are the idiots. There's a big difference between fashion and looking good (hence the old thing about fashion versus style.) You can look incredibly good, wearing well made clothes that are extremely classy without ever going near fashion. Look at the recent trend in "suiting up" (courtesy of Barney Stinson.) I'd imagine the vast majority of men quite like wearing a suit (on the right occasion, anyway.) It's true for looking good in most clothes, some people just take it to a different level with fashion.

It's not really my cup of tea but that doesn't necessarily mean I think it's a load of bollocks. Arguments can be made for anything being either really good or really bad. i.e. "football is just a load of lads chasing a ball around a field!", or "dance music is just a load of repetitive nonsense that only someone on drugs can enjoy!"

Fashion is living in the opinions of others

Wearing a suit is a recent trend??

I've always loved wearing a suit. It's just a pity there's not more occasions when I get to wear one!

CillianL

So anyhow I've bought these acid washed, distressed skinny jeans in Urban Outfitters last week and I'm trying to match some retro boots with them, anyone got any ideas? Also any good places for tees and knitwear?

:D:D:D:D

I even heard on the radio today about a group of lads in london who were into fashion........not just fashion but trying to be ahead of trend and cooler than their peers....all ok except........one of them started to walk with a limp to make him "stand out" a bit more than the others. A put on limp. Not real. A fake limp if you will. As in made up. Put on. Fúck i hope he gets knocked down and gets a fúcked up hip which leaves him with a real limp for the rest of his days.

People into fashion in general have no sense of style whatsoever.

You're right about football. What is it really? A load of men kicking a bit of leather ’round a field. You men, the things you think are ‘great fun’. Like going to the films, a load of men sitting around looking at films! And rollercoasters, a load of men in a rollercoaster going up and down on a big metal track! And sailing, a load of men in a big boat floating around in the sea! And shouting, a load of men going around shouting! And so forth.

Fashion is hugely important to me.

If it's not Saint Bernard, it's not worth wearing.

El_Dangeroso

I think I saw the worst thing ever recently.

A young lady walking about Galway with green tights, grey calf-length leggings AND shiny purple bicycle shorts on.

I mean ffs that is just taking the piss.

Fashion is nice when it makes you look better, not when it makes you look like Wurzel Gummage.

marnie d

Am I the only one to stand up to say I enjoy fashion? (No, I don't follow the trends, one look at me and you'd know that instantly!) But I do like seeing what new stuff is coming in, seeing what the youngsters are wearing nowadays, and occasionally wearing a fashionable item, instead of just dressing casually all the time. And I love it when what I'm into comes into fashion as there's lots more choice, only I continue to wear them when they 'go out of fashion'!!

Pottler

Rubbish. Fashion is very important and says a lot about you as a person. This winter I will be wearing trousers from the Snickers Fall collection, the lastest Hoodies by Penneys and Timberlands darling cream coloured steeltoe boots. I live for fashion.

Bollocks tbh

No there a some cuunts in there too.

I just think it's nuts that a load of lads/ ladies sit around a table and dictate what people's wardrobes should be filled with for the upcoming year. What idiot allows some stranger to decide that next summer is gonna be all about lemon and pink check patterns?!

I wear what I like. I am influenced by colours I like (and always have liked, not just what's "in") and cuts that suit my shape.

On a side note, this one shoulder phenomena bothers the sh!t outta me. I firmly believe that in a few years we will look back on photos and CRINGE! And leggings that look like jeans? Fcuk off!!!!

I hear wheelchairs are the next big thing.

You're dead right, and this is coming from a woman.
