fashion seems like a nerd hostile environment but it doesn't have to be one. we mainly lack the infrastructure.
we need shit like KICKSDB and it's a database of shoes categorized by welting and colors. timeless resources.
a bunch of fashion downstreams from celebrities, independent and corporate blogs, shots from news, cursed corporate social media. even if you're not straight up hypebeasting it's useful to look at it but it's dreadful to follow all that slop - aggregate it. fashionnews. fag reddit.
even if you follow all that shit and manage to find some resources their approach is all wrong. it's like they're trying to dress you up like you're their toddler. how you dress up is really a simple computation:
style(CRAP + body) = outfit
where `CRAP` is derived from the trends, budget, what's already in the wardrobe etc. maybe stuff like proven combinations too. so *that* is all the resources should be. there's enough on how to work your body already, and style is a skill you hone every day on your own.
we need to get it to the point where on any given day you can figure out your CRAP in like 40 minutes. then nerds can do fashion.
(by nerds I mean me. I need that stuff to dress up. PLEASE.)
