While the field of fashion in itself is a social construct, dependant on the changes that occur societies, why aren't we undergoing a sudden surge of new ideas when we're at the eve of a war? There's nothing truly innovative in today's fashion and we are simply recycling ideas that were already there and the clothing which truly is innovative is not as accessible to the general populace or the bourgeois classes as it was post-WW2.

Not that anon, but he is being realistic by saying we are at war. If you don't want to open your eyes to this new reality, fine, suit yourself but these cunts are threatening our very own culture and are achieving what they want: divide society in two in the West.
>>305433
It won't happen. You really think modern nations will go to war anymore? There will always be war but large scale national warfare is dead between nuclear nations.
>>305528
You are reacting exactly how they want
ISIS is just a nuisance, not an existential threat
>>305433
Please define "at war"
Im sorry. Have you not seen the crazy fashion we come up with nowadays
>>305564
why does it matter what they want
>>305590
Because you are playing to their cards. If you do what your opponent wants you to do, you will lose
The only thing that scares me about daesh is overreaction. It's much more likely that I or someone I know dies after getting stuck by a lightning than from a terrorist attack
>>305582
That's not crazy fashion in the slightest; they're just mixing a grunge-inspired shirt from the 90s, opening the sides of the shirt and skinny pants have been fashionable at various stages of modern history. So what he's wearing is hardly original anymore.
>no revolutionary fashion
That's because you never leave your house, neckbeard faggot.

What's unique about this war is the utter shitloads of disinformation.
BTW, the Syrian conflict is almost finishing and the Russian/Turkish thing isn't that serious, Turkey is realising that NATO won't back them because it's possible the jets weren't even in Turkish airspace, or were for under a few seconds.
>>305388
There's plenty of innovation in fashion. Literally spend 15 mins in r/malefashion or lookbook and you'll see how different people dress from your pic.
>>305388
>While the field of fashion in itself is a social construct, dependant on the changes that occur societies, why aren't we undergoing a sudden surge of new ideas when we're at the eve of a war?
1) Eve of what war?
2) The only changes in American fashion brought about by its shit wars in the Middle East are fags and hipsters wearing semitic scarves.
>>305618
>lookbooks
Hardly any of the things there can be called innovative. They're simply recycling and adapting ideas to reflect our society. Nothing more. The innovative fashion ideas are out of reach for the average consumer and the profileration of big budget brands doesn't help either when creating a distinctive fashion code.
>>305637
>The innovative fashion ideas are out of reach for the average consumer
What is "fashion since for fucking forever" for 900, Alex?
Did you think the use of Tyrian Purple was affordable by the average Ancient consumer?
Already a better fashion thread than what /fa/ comes up with half the time.

What you can see in your pic is relatively new. Young men hardly dressed like this in the 80s.
>>305433
Nothing is going to happen, mate. Wars between large nations are almost impossible nowadays.
>>305590
what matters is their plan
>>305388
I've started working out and wearing tactical clothing. But I'm a faggot, right guys?
I believe there are some changes that are happening to clothing seeing how militarized the police has become for one.
Pic related.
>>306409
I think this is a legit point to bring up. Even mainstream off-the-rack street fashion has been going in a more military-inspired direction, specifically the tacticool look. Add to that things like slang, with people referring to their group of friends as a 'squad', and you've got a solid theory on your hands.

What makes you think so? Unless the peshmerga decide to zerg all the major ISIS controlled cities, the west leaves Al-Assad in charge and Al-Assad regime magically leaves kurds alone and the billion armed groups decide to lay down arms it isn't happening. Plus there is still the fact that the sunni and shiite in Iraq are trying to fill the power vacuum that the baathists left and it's pretty damn messy.
>>305598

Everything you had to say just went directly to the garbage.

What, like it really "gets their goat", huh? As if they totally dig "ISIS"? Like they say "hey dudes, there's an ISIS hook-up next Saturday, you coming? No, not "Daesh"....OOOOOHHHH, you said the magic word! I'm so fucking raging now!!!! Where's that clock I invented?"
Whoever told you that is lying. It's an effort to distance ISIS from Islam. No more, no less.
>>305388
I want wigs to return t.b.h. Not the gay curled ones, the ones with the ponytail.
>>308977
Also hats. No matter what kind of hat, but an original one if possible. Headdress was a key part of clothing back then and nowadays is for hipsters, swaggers and minorities.
>>308973
Holy shit!!! That's my old band!!!!! We were called "Shaman Rain". Where the fuck did you find that? Are you from Columbus, Ohio?

During wars the state create military uniforms which often have unique fits and shapes. These uniforms (or clothes inspired from them) later become trendy when people start thinking ex-military dudes are cool.
It's that simple, bomber jackets and cargo pants being a prime example. And yes - I know cargo pants weren't exclusive military gear, but I would like to believe uncle sam popularised it.
Men's fashion hasn't changed substantially for over 200 years.
>>306447
Hmmm... First I thought the anon was pulling bullshit at first, but you've got a point actually. Although I wouldn't really call that a legit reason, I just think it's because people think the military is badass. Not because of the police becoming more violent. Also the picture the anon you replied to is clothing that is expensive as hell. Not saying that doesn't work as tacticool gear, I'm just saying if people really cared about being said tacticool with functioning gear, they wouldn't buy it at Prada.

It would definitely be kind of cool. But I think there should be a more updated version. The fact they run so low to the ground alone could be addressed. Why waste good silk like that? We don't all live in the imperial palace and ride palanquins everywhere.
>>310075
That the total surrender of street traffic to the automobile has turned what was once prized common space shared by all elements of society into a daily mortal danger without any social aspect.
>>305637
That's kinda what culture is.
>>310096
Sort of already is. There's a trend for Chinese to wear hanfu in weddings.
>>309418
Yep you just proved this board is full of dumb faggots who can't read.
Kill yourself.
>>308925
You're an indiot. "Daesh" is the derogatory term for the "Islamic State" (how they like to call themselves).
>>306409
You know, down here in the ghetto of latin america I keep hearing people say that. "Muh militarized police" "Muh opression" "Muh viable security alternatives" but I dom't see any of these faggots complaining about the thugs armed with rocket launchers and rifles that would make a /k/ommando blush walking around in broad daylight.

Hello reddit
>>308975
There is nothing more "Islamic" than saying "Islamic State of Iran and Levant" in fucking Arabic. Do you get mad when people say "Allah Ackbar" instead of "God is great"? The joke is that the word sounds even more retarded than you do because acronyms aren't widely used in the Middle East, so hearing this acronym in Arabic sounds weird and made up. Daesh consider themselves this big bad "Islamic State" and then you have people calling them this funny sounding made up word (made up as in its not a real word, it's an acronym) which gets their panties in a twist. So the only people who get mad at this term are terrorists who want the feel of legitimacy that being called "The Islamic State" gets and retards like you.
>>310957
They had nukes in 1910?
>>305388
Maybe modernism is making people hearken back to the past? Fuck if I know. But I think it's cool how a lot of fashion is born from military stuff. Peacoats are naval officer coats for example. Even your pic of a trench coat is an item popularized by wwi.

What country are you in? I see German flags on that kind of jacket here in the US, but I'm curious if it happens in Germany.
>>313328
not uploader of the pic but german, I see a lot of military style jackets around here but very rarely people wearing actual surplus.
>>313351
Not surplus here either, but people put German flag patches on them.
>>313328
Flecktarn is a dirt cheap surplus camo that looks kinda cool so people pick it up for fashion. I got my flecktarn shirt for 10 bucks.
I've also seen alpenflage (Swiss army) at Urban Outfitters. I think Chinese companies that sell to them buy up surplus, cut it up and rebrand it for hipster stores.
>>313351
For some reason German surplus is the cheapest one here
That's why lots of airsoft players sport it in Slovakia
>>313360
yeah thats probably a US thing, I have never seen a normal jacket with a german flag patch

I have a Flecktarn shirt too from when I did airsoft, it's technically a military uniform so I wouldn't just wear it in public, like a fashion thing, seems really disrespectful to the nation/soldiers who have worn it.
But then again what do lefties know about respect.
I wish guys had a better variation of clothing
girls have so many different things to wear and the only shit I can realisitically wear is jeans + tshirt or a suit

I do that too and they look all the same. Dammit.

Women have a larger fashion market therefore more variation. Female fashion also has more variations in fabric types and use of stitching techniques. I know this because my friend is into textile engineering and chemistry.
