To Menswear (Or Get Dressed) Is To Photograph
https://alittlebitofrest.com/2023/07/18/to-menswear-is-to-photograph/
TL;DR - I've been thinking how related my approach to dressing is to my other hobbies. I read a book on the philosophy of photography and I found some camaraderie between it and my menswear hobby! This focuses on the freedom of limitation, how art is a fiction (positive) and not a lie (negative), and that its just an exercise in showing off how we relate to the world. In some cases, an outfit is like a photograph of the emotions and actions we had at the moment we got inspired to put it together.
personally i make outfits randomly and keep them together, seldom making changes in order to preseve that inspiration (much like a photograph)
Might be interesting for some people to read! Or terribly insufferable and faux-philosophical (i can't deny that)
