How does he do it?
*instantly hides your shitty bait thread*
>>18554985what am i baiting exactly
he doesn't really do anything, when he's not crying about precious minority groups being lightly threatened by the most milquetoast conservative regime he shills boring 2012 menswear denimbro garbage hecking smoke stack japanese selvedge garbage
>>18554949I think he can afford to be autistic about clothes, both money and time wise.he's also quite adapt at trolling and snowflakes are butthurt about itso while I respect him, >>18554985 is correct and you should feel bad
>>18555098post fit
>>18555105You respect a fat Asian illegal who has never contributed anything except for 70,000 tweets? Really?
>>18554949I would guess by sitting in the chair right in front of the bed.
>>18555114Post a dieworkwear fit
>>18555105>quite adapt at trolling and snowflakes are butthurt about ithe literally has everyone blocked lol he's only of the biggest pussies on twitter
He needs to be deported.
This guy is such a contradiction. He talks a lot of shit but he never posts fit, which is code for being ugly and weird looking. He wants to be authoratative so his image is a guy from the 50's but he also has complete contempt for 50's values, he poses as a white guy whilst also being anti-white (and allegedly some kind of tiny fillipino guy)
>>18555371the "post fit" argument is the same thing as asking a food critic to post their cooking or asking a film critic to post the movies they've made. it's totally irrelevant to critique. people only do it when someones critique is rock solid and can't really be argued against. so people demand it as a way to get around the critique and have something to personally attack the critic over. the only people demanding he do it are doing so in bad faith and i think you know this but refuse to admit it for whatever reason.
>>18555388If you're criticising others for their inability to style themselves you should be able to style yourself. A comparison to a director is misdirection because not everyone is a director but everyone wears clothes. A more apt analogy would be someone who talks about health and fitness but is unhealthy themselves. The only reason to not post yourself is because you implicitly understand that posting yourself would delegitimise your argument (because ugly). He wants the ability to denigrate others while avoiding being denigrated himself
>>18555388no, that would be the equivalent to asking for clothes they made themselves. Posting fit only requires knowledge about style, the same thing required for a critique.
Dieworkwear is on Styleforum.net and while lurking there I have definitely seen pics of him wearing his pants and shoes that he has taken of himself POV style. Iām pretty sure that with enough searching someone could actually find a fullbody fitpic, but he has so many posts Iām not gonna bother.
>>18555129
>>18555401Nope. He has never once posted a fit pic, not on styleforum, twitter or his website
derek is the correct age to know you never post yourself online. it was once considered common sense.
>>18555476not him
>>18555098he literally only talks about suits
Haters will latch on to just about anything, but they cannot refute a single point about clothes this guy has ever made.
>>18555388The entire purpose of fashion is to look attractive. All the theory and talking points you've memorized from forums don't mean anything if you can't manage the most basic requirement of the field.A more apt comparison would be a food critic who doesn't have a mouth trying to opine on the quality of food because he read about it on the internet. >>18555690He's a public figure at this point>>18555764Tailoring is irrelevant at a time when menswear has never been more relevant. Who cares if his insistence on following stupid, archaic rules is technically 'correct'? It's like being amazing at cursive, or Atari 2600 games, or whatever other retarded previous paradigm that newer technologies have totally outmoded. At best, you're some kind of comedic relic for the rest of us, and at worst, just a sad old gay man who is going to die alone, forgotten, and unloved in a one-bedroom apartment outside Hanoi.

It's like being amazing at cursive, or Atari 2600 games, or whatever other retarded previous paradigm that newer technologies have totally outmoded.that's not what happened with men's fashion. you have to understand the rules in order to break them with intent. the whole idea of throwing the rules out and never even knowing them in the first place is literally what made millenial fashion so cringe. its how we came up with things like the skinny fit suit. don't repeat the same mistake.
>>18555782>The entire purpose of fashion is to look attractivethat's a retarded ass take but half this board would unironically rub their onions stubble at it and then agree
>>18555787You're a moron, everyone from the lowliest shop clerk to Hedi Silmane/rick/INSERT YOUR FAVOURITE DESIGNER HERE understands this basic fact. >>18555786Skinny fit suiting was championed by a few designers who 'knew the rules and broke them' and then followed every other fashion cycle in history by diffusing across the industry, so how could 'not knowing the rules' result in skinny fit? Incoherent. Regardless, 'skinny fit suiting' was such a small part of menswear as it exploded in the 2010s(iirc it 10xed in like 8 years or something) so I really don't know why you would pick on such a small and again irrelevant part of fashion to prove that we need to know the rules. Look at the most important menswear designers of the 2010s, Hedi Silmane, Rick Owens, Demna, Virgil Abloh, etc, how many of them are known for adherence to tailoring norms? Literally none of them. (yes you can argue Hedi's tailoring mattered at Dior, and SLP the first time, but not in the 2010s) Walk around any major city in the world, compare the number of suits today to 2000, to 1980, to 1950, do you think people are wearing more tailored garments today? or less? Be serious, anon. Tailoring has never been more irrelevant.

>>18555799>Incoherent. gentlemans gazette guys said it better than i can:https://youtu.be/e7uLPrOMJaQ?t=699it started out the way you describe and as time went on became an act of rebellion against the concept of even having rules rather than a conscious and intentful breaking of them. which is how we ended up with things like the men's 2 pleat skinny fit trouser.the only thing i would change from their take is that its not just the 'rules' but also an understanding of a lot of the functional design behind a lot of of men's clothing and forgetting why they were even there in the first place. skinny fit lumberjack clothes nuff said.
>>18555785>>1855579990s IM & CdGH>>18555803>seething this hard because I speak the truth
>>18555808you're talking about breaking all the rules but post the safest shit imaginable.
>>18555807>https://youtu.be/e7uLPrOMJaQ?t=699Right he's agreeing with my point here My objection to DWW is not >rules exist reeeee i hate rules It's that he has an autistic adherence to rules and uses them to attack people at a point in time where they just don't matter all that much. He is unable to move past the constraints he has placed on himself to grow or explore new territory. This isn't unexpected or unique to him, but in terms of his fashion knowledge and criticisms they're not particularly useful and thats not why people know him primarily anyway. People like/dislike DWW because he dunks on conservatives and is a good poster, quick on his feet, and good at verbal sparing. The majority of his audience are disgusting biomass who don't give a fuck about fashion>>18555808>post a fit >NO NOT THAT ONE Go suck off your gay Vietnamese lover some more.
>>18555816dww is an insufferable faggot and shouldn't be taken serious don't get me wrong. i was just misunderstanding you and thinking you didn't understand 'why' rules even exist in the first place and the important role they serve if you intend to break them. the thing is at least in my opinion the more you actually know about 'the rules' the less many of them seem archaic and more just common sense since many are rooted in function. some being outdated functions that no longer apply to the modern world like horse riding for instance, but many still are. like for instance is a modern example.. sometimes i'm hiking on trails that are frequented by both casual day hikers, people doing short backpacks and thru/section hikers. they generally wear all the same clothes and buy the same type of gear. how do i tell the serious guys apart from the weekend warriors? if they're prepared for bugs or not. their shirt will be tucked, their boots bloused etc. just a modern example of how these rules evolve and sort of come to be, originating from an actual function/purpose many times.that being said the couple of times i bought something dww shilled i was actually pretty happy with it so i can't hate him too much.

>retarded zoomer detected
>>18555764Are you trolling? He spouts the most basic reddit talking points. Literally baby's first suit advice from 15 years ago But he's a hypocrite and calls things that go against his "rules" okay when a liberal or a black does it
>>18555877any proofs
>>18555888his entire x account
>>18556079so no proofs, cheers
really the only big points I disagree with him on are1) that you can look good while fat. he often talks of the importance of silhouette in fashion but obesity just ruins the natural lines of the body, there's no getting around it. good tailoring can help reduce how bad you look, but fat people look good and no clothing is any match for simply getting to a normal weight. 2) he says clothing is a form of social language and conveys meaning, but also you can't judge people for how they dress. those feel kinda contradictory, if an outfit is shouting at everyone visually, you're naturally going to interpret and judge what they're saying.
>>18556089go through his account, all the way back. you won't find a single fit picgo through his style forum account, all the way back. you don't find a single fit pic
>>18556090>2) he says clothing is a form of social language and conveys meaning, but also you can't judge people for how they dressthis reek of academia pseud nonsense. god i hated college
>>18555877Sure the points he makes are basic and he keeps repeating them, but you still can't give me an example where he is actually wrong about something in menswear.
>>18556434I dislike it, and that's more than enough to show what's wrong with it. I don't need to justify my weasel brain reactions with fancy shit like justifications and reason.
Manton always offered better advice desu senpai. His takedown of Cruiser anent 2-roll-3 jackets on the old ask andy forums was legendary and is still worth reading today.
