Other Online Fashion Spaces?
Hello !!
I am hoping that ppl here have useful recommendations in two different areas, they are:
1. does anybody know any spaces like this server but with more womenswear, young ppl, or experimental fashion? Everybody i know irl who dresses well just uses like tiktok, insta and pinterest for inspo but i dont like scrolling bc it makes my brain numb :c I know EHF is kinda that but i prefer to lurk and i think they require more active participation?
2. are there any big sources of fashion book pdf's? archive.org and archive.pdf are both very threadbare and i havent had any luck with any of the obvious book piracy websites. r there like private trackers or usenet groups that everybody uses?
Thanks 4 reading : )

FASHION chat is uh not safe like here :xd: giving bad vibes I'm ngl
I joined rocpot the rick owens server and even tho I havent yet interacted in there, seems cool https://discord.gg/HNTfMY5KGy
The streetwear server is being revived I'm pretty sure https://discord.com/invite/streetwear , although I havent interacted there either
And then for the second part of your question, https://www.archivepdf.net/ for scans of magazines and books, @/chris.mpkz and @/seth both work there actually and it's a great site

Fashion Elitists' server is also younger and more avant-garde experimental
They could really use some moderation on the slurs and stuff though unfortunately, which is pretty prevalent across similar spaces, but the fitpics are cool
I think I'd skip fabrics and fitpics, there's a lot of crossover from FE but that servers been dying and is run by a person who's banned in a lot of other discords for a reason. They're a common face in FE and other alt servers too but there's probably a difference in having a space run by them vs merely incorporating them
if you are looking for more avant garde stuff a lot of brands have deticated servers
i know of
guidi
Taiga Takahashi
CCP
the server for the ny based store Komune
im sure more i dont know of
i still need to find a CDG one tbh, the old one died back in COVID iirc
For jewelry and bags--purseblog/purseforum and pricescope are good resources. Both skew heavily towards women and older but those ladies know everything.
