Fashion media - Topic of the day 3/2/24
What kind of fashion content do you consume outside of MFAD? Any recommendations? What do you wish there was more of, both in and outside of this community?

I kinda love print media esp for fashion. Good paper with nice pictures. I haven’t actually subscribed to anything but I really like actually having a coffee table book or a few nice magazines
Same, picked up a UK Esquire from the Barnes & Noble a few months ago even tho it was sortve pricey lol
I enjoy some podcasts as well, it's cool to learn about the people behind the brand. Love articles of interest, also enjoy the occasional iron cast and blamo episodes
Need to check out Articles of Interest based on how much praise I've heard for it here. I enjoy hearing the Complex Sneakers Show and in general, the cultural/anthropological approach that writers/speakers like Brendan Dunne take on the matter.
I subscribe to Blackbird Spyplane because of their tendency to prop up smaller brands, even if their writing style isn't my favourite.
I'm interested in reading some of the great books that I've heard about like Gods and Kings, Black Ivy, and others, but I feel like my life is just about making that big backlog of stuff to consume before I go.
BRENDAN HEADS RISE UP
I miss full size run man
When it ended I was like I’m gonna watch the sneaker show every week but it’s just not for me
wait it ended?? 😦
Yeah FSR wrapped up
I found it getting a little tired and not critical enough so I'm glad they ended it on a note where they could challenge their guest
I've started reading some books. J. Crew book was super interesting. Got Ametora and Black Ivy in the queue. Other than that, it's mostly MFA, supplemented with Google searches and instagram.
I really like look books, there's a few I want to get including snow peak 2020(?) and pretty much all the Kapital ones
HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLACK IVY
sorry but not sorry for the caps, it's good as a fashion reference, a cultural reference, and imo as inspo because the fits hit 🔥
i find podcasts lately to be hit or miss - AoI and SaD are both good, as is Apocalypse Duds - but the others are either super commerical or don't flow in any sort of reasonable way
Every time someone visits me it’s the book they pick off the shelf to look at
Three other coffee table books I recommend: In His Own Words, Take Ivy, and All About Yves
Ooh I gotta pick up a copy
Is "in his own words" the margiela one? Amazon is giving me a lot of results with that title, including xxxtentacion and Clarence Thomas lol
Oh wait the margiela one is a documentary
I’m wrong it’s “Ralph Lauren: In His Own Fashion.” I was literally looking at the book and still got it wrong
As indicated in the photo for the topic, Popeye magazine is pretty unbeatable. I don’t speak Japanese and it doesn’t matter - the photography and layouts are straight up eye candy 😍 i also love the Carhartt WIP coffee table book, the handful of Supreme coffee table books, and i’d like to buy the Braindead one as well. Print media rocks
