Please feel free to tell me the "Concepts that would lift me up a notch"...and explain what "bark never really amounts to my bite" means. Would it be something along the lines of saying I'm going to make; pockets squares, ties, shirts, rucksacks or scarfs, was their a trouser project as well? So many its hard to remember them all, but never getting anything done?
Fire away with you "constructive criticism", it'd make a nice change from your humourless snark. Its funny but I'm sure these "situations" arise from your Third Reich idea of how TI should be.
Do you want to talk shop or grandstand? Because I can happily breakstuff down and actually have an interesting conversation about the theories of aesthetics ..I know you quoted McQueen on your blog but I think you misunderstood his words...colours that need to be explained clearly have failed...that doesnt mean when they have succeeded they cant be explained... the Japanese design discipline of Wabi-sabi is a good place to start in understanding a basic approach to aesthetics. No bravado, attitude or excuses amount to attaining beauty ie. Balance, through self-discipline, application, and knowledge acquired through experience.

I would love to read your aesthetic theories.

You're just ignorant. All you want to do is approximate something that you can just aquire by buying stuff, and that's enough, you're so basic. There is no depth, barely any understanding and ultimately no worth to what you do. You could say all style no substance but there's not much style either just a person buying clothes and throwing together like a blind person in the vain hope it sticks. If you actually set yourself on a path of understanding and knowledge you'd go a lot further, but you prefer ignorance.

Hilarious that after a week you can still see the discussion your rolled up chinos are making. Butterfly effect being strong here.
Been wearing Ivy lately - further details disclosed for the general good.
Keep on going.

What is embarrassing is your collective ignorance to the thing it is you want to emulate..
Le Corbusier had a system, Hockney has a system, Monk had a system, Coltrane had a system....etc etc And guess what they all connect via their observation of the natural world, and understanding the phenomenon through maths, science, physics. As we try to understand and utilise it
You guys might be content with consumption of these end results of other people's graft...and get your self esteem through owning them..but I do not, the knowledge they have acquired or we as a species have collectively acquired is fascinating yet you want to just be seen to consuming, mindlessly. You are the autonomous herd...sign yourselves up for a lobotomy now..itll save you some time.. if your experience is limited to buying something, standing in front or a mirror, taking a photo, not really feeling any great reward and then moving on to the next attainment..crack on sunshine.
If you had any interest in what makes things work..how you attain anything rewarding you would engage with thoughts and principles surrounding that..because you dont I cant imagine you even care...you just want and hand sewn buttonhole in order to appease your insecurities
Congratulations.

You can start here..

This is the point Formby...time is an illusion to the permanent nature of these principles... this is why all greatness is connected by these principles because they are universal. They only become reductive to be reassembled by the practitioner.
And by the very nature of perfection it gives the rise to imperfection..and therefore character. Which is where it all gets very interesting. Excatly how the perfect 5th in music allows for diatonic and chromatic form to music. Phi allows a point of balance in space not stationary but in flux. Not symmetrical and therefore gives momentum and growth...

Yes. Don't get me wrong Bop - the systems and theories make interesting reading, but they also discount things like instinct, intuition, just personal taste and discernment.
Just because people employ these things without reference to a systematic understanding, doesn't make them less valid.

A great car can be driven badly though.
