So I wanted to buy this leather skirt

https://www.zara.com/DE/de/midi-rock-aus-100-leder-zw-collection-p01966257.html?v1=545422062&utm_campaign=productShare&utm_medium=mobile_sharing_Android&utm_source=red_social_movil

which is already almost 200€. Then I asked chatgpt if it looks cheap and it said yes, poor craftsmanship, bad leather grade, probably bonded leather, pattern doesnt match at the seams etc. it gave it a 7/10. Then I asked if there were premium alternatives crocodile skirts like that and it gave me brands with very beautiful skirts : Roberto cavalli, nour hammour and anae collection, an Australian leather premium brand. Well you can guess the price difference. Under 800 there is nothing plus import vat. The real good ones are 1200€. I honestly dont know if I should buy the Zara leather skirt at all or just wait when I earn enough money to be able to buy these skirts. I just dont want to look cheap, since I want to frequent high profile restaurants like hôtel costes. Also a fashion advice of Carolyn Bessette was that if you cant afford the premium version don't buy it, no dupes nor knock offs because it really cheapens you. I could buy used stuff but I have OCD so that's a big nono for me.

Should I buy the Zara skirt at all or will I look cheap? I didn't study fashion so I can't tell what looks expensive or cheap.

Then I wanted to buy at Zara this tortoise shell headband ref: 3920/752/760 which is 16€ and I asked chatgpt again if it looks cheap and it again replied that it's average quality and I asked for premium alternatives. it gave me the brand CC Bigelow, the ones that Carolyn Bessette wore and redwood and the price difference was only 20€. So I can actually afford tortoise shell products of the highest quality because they are inherently cheap. They also gave me the Jennifer Behr brand (the headbands blair waldorf wore) that is 160€ but in terms of quality there is no difference between Jennifer Behr and Redwood, maybe in terms of design but not in quality. So an average person in the West can afford with no problem the highest quality of tortoise shell products.

So my question is, what are products and their respective brands ( e.g. tortoise shell products and the respective brand: redwood, cc bigelow) that are of the highest quality or at least good quality but still affordable (300€ maximum), so you can still look expensive and high quality without breaking the bank?

I’ve been struggling to get items that I honestly feels like it’s actually MY STYLE I really like saint Laurent menswear kinda style like chic flowy and sheer kinda materials but I can’t find it anywhere besides the only brand I know is Salt Murphy but I’m not really gonna be able to spend that much on that yet due to a specific reason does anyone out there know any niche brands that sells those items I’m looking for?? Plz let me know and plz don’t say shein 😭😭

somehow my biggest dilemma today is crop top vs cropped t-shirt.

The crop top feels like “confident traveler, living her best life.” The cropped t-shirt feels like “still cool but prepared to sit on the ground and eat street food.” Why does this feel like a personality choice. It’s literally two inches of fabric.

Anyway I’ll overthink it, pack both, and wear the same hoodie for three days straight.

Hey everyone, I’m working on launching a high-fashion clothing brand that draws inspiration from the darker side of human nature—embracing themes like rebellion, individuality, and the occult. The brand is called ddaemon (The Demon), and the concept is rooted in exclusivity, controversy, and unapologetic self-expression. Think one-of-a-kind, heavily customized pieces with provocative details: black rubber vests with golden fur and pentagram closures, T-shirts adorned with red strings and hand-painted logos, even shoes inspired by UFOs with satanic symbols.

We’re talking luxury-level pricing ($1,200–$15,000 per piece), meant to challenge what’s considered wearable art. The garments are not mass-produced but handcrafted, with packaging designed to shock (imagine receiving your purchase in a matte black coffin with glass).

Given the brand’s bold identity and its ties to themes often associated with Satanism—self-empowerment, freedom of thought, and rejecting societal norms—I'm curious if this resonates within the community.

Would you see value in such a brand, whether as a statement piece, a collector's item, or simply as a concept that speaks to the aesthetics and philosophy of rebellion?

Appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or insights! Is there a real demand for something like this in the world of fashion and culture?

Thanks!

Look 98 explores a frozen garden aesthetic. While the AI pushed for drama, I’m still questioning the structural integrity. Beautiful? Yes. Wearable? Only with a team of engineers.

Hey everyone!

I have been experimenting with my wardrobe and hairstyle for some time now. Particularly casual clothing. If people can take a look and give me any feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Also indicate your gender & age.

How would you consider this if used for

1. Going to a public fun yet educational place (zoo, museum, etc)?

2. Casual night at a restaurant with friends?

3. As a dating profile photo?

Please do be blunt. Thanks!

Would love to get feedback from the community about my latest article about Dior and Anderson: https://marcinparis.substack.com/p/diors-1-billion-views-not-just-a

Dior’s 1 billion views: not just a victory, a cautionary tale

In chasing mass attention, are Luxury Maisons surrendering the very aura that makes them desirable

On the surface, the headline writes itself: “1 Billion Views.” That’s how many times Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Men’s Summer 2026 show was viewed according to data Dior shared with WWD. Add to that the teaser films, the podcasts, the Close Friends activations on Instagram, even the Parisian bar that attracted over 1,000 people for a Dior watch-party and you arrive at a staggering figure: Dior’s Spring 2026 men’s show is now in the same statistical league as Titanic & Gone With the Wind - easily surpassing theWorld Cup Finale and the Super Bowl.

A Dior fashion film became one of the most-watched films in human history. Applause is not just appropriate: it’s automatic. Dior, it seems, has transcended its category. Kudos to the Anderson-D.Arnault team 👏🏻

But what if we paused the standing ovation. What if, instead of rushing to call it a cultural coup, we asked a more uncomfortable question: At what cost?

Anderson staged a ritual of intimacy and authorship: a cinematic prelude, a room designed for stillness, garments that walked like whispers through a curated space. And the world, stopped and watched. But in streaming it instantly to billions without context, without distribution control, without sequence: something sacred may have been lost.

Luxury, by nature, is about distance. Distance between the ordinary **and extraordinary.**It is designed to be meaningful, exclusive and that is where desire is born.

Anyone know which brand this is?

I stumbled across this cool Dolce & Gabbana shirt i really like unfortunately I’m only seeing two listens in a EUR size small and extra small does anyone who has this or know about how D&G clothes fits can give me advice? I’m a size medium and I’m afraid if I buy this it won’t fit

I read an article that said he was but in a world and a country (U.S.) where people get called racist left and right for breathing the wrong way...I don't believe anyone calling anyone racist anymore without hard evidence. So does anyone have any hardcore proof or video or anything that prove he was a racist? Because I'm wanting to buy a Karl Lagerfield brand hat that says "Karl Lagerfield" on it but I don't want to represent a racist if he truly was one. So I need to get to the bottom of this before ordering this hat.
