why is runway fashion so tacky? Anonymous 06/27/15 (Sat) 05:08:17 AM No. 156178

If regular people wore some of the stuff on runways, they would be considered tacky but when it's on the catwalk, people applaud? wtf

Generally speaking, runway fashion is art, not daywear. It's supposed to look good in concept rather than feasibly wearable in any real life situation.
It's a bit like how people might praise a really well-made cosplay, but will side-eye an autist who cosplays to school, work, etc to hell and back even if their craftmanship and execution skills are top notch.

Yeah, it's common knowledge that Victoria's Secret runways are trash-tier and people only praise it because the models are hot as hell.

And i do think that high fashion is a form of art and it's inspiring and also unwearable. But you often notice the trend on the runaway in store the year after, of course, very toned down.

I agree. The models have hot faces with ugly to hot bodies (some are too skinny but candice's body is nice). victoria secret is not luxury nor high fashion

I don't like how the girls have an inverted triangle body shape.

Er, OP you're not actually supposed to wear runway fashion.
People who attend these shows are generally either celebrities who get paid to attend but mostly lower lever brand designers who sit and take photos/notes on the collection so they can derive inspiration and incorporate details into their own pieces which they then go on to sell in places like Topshop, River Island, H&M etc.

Every piece of clothing you own has trickled down from some runway show or another. It's designers that set the season trends such as platform wedges or sunhats or dungaree dresses.

I honestly don't think of moschino as high fashion as much as it's just trendy now a days

To be fair, some pieces/looks are total wearables.

"tumblr" as a descriptor is getting really tired, what the fuck does it mean anymore, especially when used like that… is it fear of association with a fucking website w millions of users? does anon mean recent high fashion stuff… or stuff from before tumblr existed (because i've seen people describe photos from the 80s as "tumblr")?
designers get inspiration from many things and sometimes shit on tumblr might be inspo (or people on tumblr are inspired by high fashion shit)… see >>156187

I think it has to do with tumblrites deliberately dressing like retarded, blind circus clowns in order to be the specialest snowflakes.
Fashion designers sometimes give me the same vibe.

I've lurked on tumblr in the past and I can't understand what you're trying to say. I can understand if you say something like 'this person acts like a tumblrina', because you are probably referring to sjws and rabid feminists that mainly post on tumblr. In my opinion you can't say the same with fashion, because there's so many different shit there, from lolita and ageplay crap to pseudo-gothic/punk/grunge/ghetto etc. You can't generalize it all into 'tumblr' because badly-played fashion always existed.

There are so many different style portrayed on runways by all the differents creators… Of course some of it will corelate with the look of existing people who happen to use tumblr…
I think this statment is so lame like saying "oh Givenchy menswear fall winter 2015 come of as very lumberjack-ish is it good or bad?"

Tbh i get why you could be trying to say, some of the edgy 90's vibes coord on the runway is very white trash 90's kids tumblr, pic related.
