@traceymcq@dieworkwear It’s a quality of the raw indigo itself rather than the dyeing. Achieving this effect requires unreacted indigo to be rubbed or beaten into a finished piece, leaving an almost coppery gloss when the fabric is burnished. The surface of an active indigo vat has the same sheen.
@chaoswintour@ChicMuseVibes if you want to make a point about Everlane, or the 2010's "sustainable" drop-shipping blandwagon, do that. Don't shit on designers actually doing better by demanding that everyone be Thom Browne or Tom Ford or Anna Sui or whoever is your bar for interesting and successful.
@chaoswintour@ChicMuseVibes iirc what we’re comparing them to is Uniqlo and Everlane, not the darlings of NYFW, so they’re still ahead by a mile. You can say “I don’t like this”, but repeating the beige sack/grey tunic/paper bag talking point about sustainable fashion just sells more exploitative trash.

the truth is tackling the Epstein thing in any meaningful way would mean a broader reckoning with misogyny writ large but also with the crucial role pedophilic desire towards young girls plays across all forms of fashion, popular culture, etc. Much easier to say “oh well!”
This particular form of pedophilia is entrenched in contemporary beauty standards (in which we’re all supposed to look like big eyed neotenous sexpots forever), “role playing” Internet pornography, and evangelical Christianity. it’s everywhere you look unless you’re blind
here’s the thing if he was fucking little kids he would be out of here but the fact that he’s fucking adolescent girls matters because vast swaths of men want to fuck them, think it’s ok to fuck them, and wishes it were legal to do so
i feel legitimately sad when i see hoors in gorgeous high-end lingerie that…doesn’t fit them correctly
(i will absolutely never have the money for that shit myself so it’s none of my business)
@WhoreYet@MissAno13674429 thank y’all for dissuading me from this! I think I was just mad about being late on my phone bill to pay for my damn brazilian and being ridiculous about it lol
