Yeah. Saying otherwise is cope. He also usually knows not to make statements about shit he doesn't know about, which is the much rarer skill.

i bought that tory leather belt he memed and i really like it. great quality for what i paid and it gets a lot of compliments which i didn't expect. and he was totally right about 1" belts not looking too feminine but feeling way better to wear off the waist. i wasn't sure if i'd even like it.
i noticed aimé leon dore started selling the same belt for over $150 it even has the tory leather branding on it.

There's something seriously wrong with him. He is a terminally online Asian leftist who has tweeted over 50,000 times, 90% of which having to do with criticizing the fashion of other people, yet has never, ever posted a picture of something that he has worn. He is probably one of the lowest creatures imaginable. He's not even a critic. He is a disgusting pusillanimous amoeboid parasite. It is not surprising to me in the least that he works in academia. I would say more but do not want to get banned.

Are you joking or did you miss the part where he has tweeted almost 60,000 times?
>>
>>18303273
Oldheads realize that all of his takes are just from Styleforum circa 2012. I also suspect that he bots the likes on his tweets.
>>
>>18303341

All this stuff is irrelevant to the question though. He really does know what he's talking about when it comes to mens tailoring. He's also for sure a weird type of asian (I bet viet / pinoy mix or something), he's gay too, he's also almost certainly a manlet, I doubt he's ugly but he is probably kind of weird looking, and yeah he's a libtard addicted to twitter.

He's a lot of really cursed things. But that doesn't change the fact that he knows what he's talking about. It's also 100% why he doesn't post pics. Because he knows people would take him way less seriously if they saw what he looked like. He's in the right on that one though. That actually is unfair and fucked up. He's genuinely knowledgeable and knows his shit. He shouldn't be invalidated based on how he personally looks.

But that's how the world works and he knows it, so he'll never post face and I don't blame him. But you're retarded if you think any of this stuff matters when it comes to debating esoteric tailoring details. He could be quasimoto posting from a bell tower somewhere and it wouldn't invalidate how often he cooks the shit out of people.

he's been around on forums for ages. guys always been terminally online twitter just gave him and audience and attention. being anonymous and not posting pics was the culture of the time on the era of the internet he grew out of. he's an oldfag who stuck to his guns. i have thousands of posts on sufu and styleforum and i've never posted a single pic of myself on there and i've never used social media. but its not unknown what i look like because people have met me irl. i get why he stays anon and its kinda depressing to me that 4chan is full of people who don't understand that in current year.

donald trump understands branding in a way derek doesn't. he created an iconic look and he's best served to stick to it because that is his brand, instead of trying to dress like a menswear sperg.

this puts trump's fit in a unique but common for celebs place where his fit can be objectively mediocre but simultaneously be the best thing for him to wear.
imo.

>you're a movie critic huh? Well let's see what movies have YOU made
>>
>>18303788
>>you're a movie critic huh? Well let's see what movies have YOU made

1: There's a difference between critiquing a movie versus fashion. Experiencing a film is a passive action, the movie has already been made. Unless you edit it yourself somehow (I have insane respect for autists like the guy who made his own restored cut of Lynch's Dune) movie, everyone will pretty much see the exact same movie and not be able to change it.
Fashion is inherently a more active choice. Unless you're entire closet is made of one brand, every fit you put on is a choice of what the blend together into an image you want to present to the world. When you pick a shirt,sweater, trousers, jacket and a pair of shoes, you're making a choice to tell the world this is how you want to be seen. You are participating in fashion and in some small way your choices are helping change fashion. You don't change a movie when it's made. The Duelist is the same movie now that it was decades ago,it will be the same movie a hundred years from now.

A movie critic is critiquing a final product,and it's one he or she can't change or participate in. You participate in fashion every day, if you are fucking awful at it and don't wear clothes that flatter your physique (this is possible even when you're fat) or wear colors that are bad, I won't trust your opinion beyond the most insanely basic takes.

2: I know you think this was a gotcha but some of the best movie critics did participate in the making of movies. Roger Ebert was the best example, but many of them wrote scripts, worked on productions, have training in aspects of production, or at least took classes in film and analysis in college. Basically they have either made movies, know how to make movies or at least have some sort of background that allows them to understand and critique films.
A fashion critic who doesn't post a picture is a hypocrite who is judging the participation of others without exposing themself to the same critique.

And before you try and say that's just how fashion critics work, bullshit. Modern fashion critics embraced media, look at Richard Blackwell and Anna Wintour. They had no issue being photographed and showing what they are wearing, they absolutely walked the walked. And before you say oh that's old media, social media is different: Horseshit. Almost every other social media critic has plenty of pictures and videos of themselves discussing clothes.

Dieworkwear is an anomaly and I believe his following isn't based on his supposed knowledge or fashion taste, it's because he vocally and constantly posts critiques of conservatives. And his followers eat that shit up, they get to feel superior and they don't really give a shit about the actual fashion involved.
>>

>>
>>18303839
>you're upset he makes fun of conservatives?

Not at all, I'm not a conservative. I'm just saying that his popularity is based more on that than his actual fashion knowledge, as evidenced by the fact he never posts a pic of what he looks like or even a pic of the clothes he is wearing that day. He wants to talk shit while insulating himself from the same judgment and I don't respect that.

The funny thing is I should be his target audience: I'm a moderate liberal who wears traditional menswear and I just can't stand the guy.
I would have zero issue with him if he also talked shit about the Democrats who dress like shit, and there's plenty of them to pick from at every level of government. But they're sacred cows, you never see him ripping into the shit they wear. Couple that with the lack of confidence to post his own picture and the blog is really just a political smear piece with occasional fashion musings.

The other issue is there's no information that he puts out that you can't easily find with some surface level searching. Blogs, longform videos, social media, forums, the information is easily accessible at all levels without the lopsided politics.

Retard. Movies can be both passive or active, anyone with a camera and one hour to lose can make their own movie or at least a short, regardless of the resulting quality. Fashion too can be both passive or active, when you see and discuss other people's fits or what the zoomers are wearing that's passive, and often being actively fashionable can be very expensive and/or time consuming so just like making a movie not everyone has the resources to be an active participant.
>>
>>18303907
>Fashion too can be both passive or active,

You fucking retard. Are you putting on clothes that you purchased with your own money? Congrats, you're participating in fashion in an active way. Anything you put on your body of your own volition is a choice and makes it active participation.

Wearing clothes is not the only way to participate in fashion. Looking at other people's fits, evaluating them, and formulating an opinion about said fits is also participating in fashion, passively, just like being a movie critic.
>>
>>18303924
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting an opinion about clothes without accompanying it with a picture of you for me to laugh at. Its not being fair.

>>18303273
No, he's chasing money from twitter engagement and regurgitates entry level advice anyone who has known of him for more than 5 seconds would already know. Often with some bizarre American political jab at figures you've never heard of who don't give a shit about how they dress and will never read his posts, because his fanbase of people with masks in their profile pictures and Ukrainian/EU/Palestinian flags in their bios will gobble it up. The irony being they too obviously don't give a shit about fashion and only seek to use propriety as a weapon the same way he bitches about some oil baron turned influencer called Redneck McSpencer III would.

You can make absolute bank in academia if you teach at the right university and in the right field.

He basically just parrots whatever GQ said until 2010. He's right when it comes to the general fit of clothing, some basic rules of what you should and shouldn't do, but he also recommends some absolute modern slop fashion. Someone like Okey knows way more about men's high/classic fashion.

This guy is a fag. Probably a power bottom in the San Francisco gay scene.

thats a valid critique most of these critics are retarded bottom feeders with no talent. every-time they try to make a film it ends up being complete slop.

Gavin McInnes is Millenial excellence personified he'd have this little chinger in highwater pants and a fashy undercut in no time. In a word: freaking based.

>>18307073
if you take into consideration that he's a manlet he looks pretty good desu
>>
>>18307073
That's not him tho.
>>
>>18307073
he gives off handsome yuppie vibes in that photo.
i think he needs to go for bad boy vibes.
to get bad boy vibes, if he got rid of the tie, unbuttoned his dress shirt, uncuffed his pants and wore gold chains he would look ''cool''

>He’s so upset by the loss he’s declared his entire profile and all advice he’s ever given as racist. Naturally the noble savage has better clothes.

he's right tho, nobody adopted the suit because it was hecklin naturally superior

The suit is naturally superior.

Unironically perennial and guenon pilled.

He literally posts pictures of his clothes all the time. Not on him, as he always drives discussion of fashion away from people being fat/thin and ugly/handsome.
>>
>>18303273
I hate that pretentious avatar of his, very punchable!

It's Elliot Richardson, a Republican.

>>18308391
Gee, I wonder if that is because he is fat and ugly (that’s called a rhetorical question sport and it means you shouldn’t answer).

>>18303273
He's more knowledgeable than everyone on /fa/ combined.

>>18307740
that's you and I have proof.

It's cheaper to manufacture, standardized for mass production, easier to wear, can be made by thai boy-prostitutes as well as by bri'ish master tailors

Found an actual confirmed pic of him (guy on the right).
>>
Mogged by /ourguy/

>>18303273
A: yes, he clearly knows what he's talking about

>>18303341
Also clearly, there is something wrong with him.
Obviously he's a libtard and he loves to criticizes conservatives. He attacks conservatives, manosphere, and related types essentially for being "boasters"--for attaching themselves to a tradition (of dress, acting, etc) while not deserving it or living up to it because they're lacking in taste and knowledge. He is genuinely unfair in how he talks about good clothing vs bad clothing when attacking and praising, but he picks his targets well and is always right so he gets away with it. As >>18303278 points out he's very good at NOT giving his opinion. He loves to say he's limiting his expertise to "men's classic suit fashion." And he's self-deprecating in this way. "I'm just a guy who's spent too much time on the internet and looking at clothes." So there's that major flaw--that this character is literally all he is. He's sharp and has been on the internet forever so he's an effective poster.

But the real damning fact is his audience--whenever he spats with someone you'll see scores of adoring libtards show up in the replies as well and they're stupid and don't have good taste themselves but are trying to own people online--by attaching themselves to Derek. But they don't deserve it: basically, they're boasters. But that's exactly what's always attacking men for being. So his principles demand that he also look down on his audience--but he won't, because, of course, he loves the attention.

Another flaw is the way he talks about women and how they dress. He'll refrain from commenting when a woman's outfit is obviously terrible because he "knows that he knows nothing" about that and limits his expertise to men. And he'll also repeat ad infinitum the ridiculous feminist talking point that women dress for other women and not for men. And in various other ways he'll use women and appeal to women's opinions to dunk on men

That's my analysis thanks

t. lurked styleforum a lot back in college

>>18303445
Trumps look is objectively better for everyday wear and fits the politician/businessman aesthetic. Either way neither fit is bad, Trump's fit is good in that picture and being unwilling to say that because you are a partisan hack just makes you a fag.
>>
>>18307597
I mean yeah that is why people adopted suits, your average pleb looked like shit prior to suits it unironically closed the gap between the appearance of poors and the rich, really the mistake was the Aristocracy embracing suits.

No shot, he has been in the forums for ages. He would've been a kid speaking about technical aspects of shoemaking and tailoring details.

>But that doesn't change the fact that he knows what he's talking about.
He doesn't though. His tastes in fits are just Spike Lee inspired fat white redditfag on r/mfa circa 2018. His actual knowledge of tailoring isn't far from what your average tailor/fashion journo/sperg would know, its just that he posts about it.

>>18311856

Ugly chink has hides behind a white man avatar to make up for his hideous face. Many such cases!
>>

what forums?
>>
he keeps going on about how fat people can look great while being fat which bullshit lol, they can look alright and try to hide the fact that they're fat but they'll never look as good as someone who's fit
>>
>literally who
>who in the fuck actually cares
>caring about internet personalities opinions

>>
>>18312234
True, and it's much harder for them to even follow his advice, and he is always posting his one fat friend, who barely makes the cut of not looking terrible
>>
>>18303273
He's knowledgeable about menswear but he's an insufferable mentally ill freak who only criticizes people he's politically opposed to.
>>18303433
Brioni is based.
>>
>>18312702
>knowledgable about menswear
Let's be honest, he knows no more than what you can find out after a couple of hours of googling sizing, fabrics, pairings and styles. Every time I'd see him critiquing someone's fit on twitter (I've since blocked him), it boiled down to him saying "your clothes don't fit" or "your x doesn't match with your y." Like ok? Literally everyone can see that, who cares?
>>
>>18311856
this doesnt look good at all
>>
>>18312714
This is exactly how self proclaimed menswear enthusiasts dress, just a hodgepodge of patterns/colors and materials, they always end up looking like a Macy's mannequin dressed by someone who has no idea what they're doing
>>
>>18312713
>(I've since blocked him)
cuck
>>
>>18312842
yeah i know, ive never seen a "menswear enthusiast" post a good fit
like stop trying to make this weird blend of english game hunting and formal wear something that can be worn casually, it just never looks good
on that note, most tailors look shit too

If that's what you call verifying if what someone says is true or not, regardless of their credentials, then yes. Trump won the popular vote by the way.

>>18303273
Libtard, manlet, '50s LARPer and non-white. Yikes!
>>
>>18316115

This is enough to disqualify him as an expert. Who cares what someone who isn't white thinks about menswear?

yes they did, cry more trannie
