A place for designer, avant garde, queer, and other experimental fashion.

Posting Rules

• Be POLITE and CONSTRUCTIVE
  Trolling, personal attacks, insults, and demeaning comments based on sexual orientation, race, gender, body type or other social profile are strictly prohibited. That also means no posting of lewd or sexualizing comments - people aren't posting here to get hit on and your "compliments" aren't welcome. All of these comments will be removed and egregious or repeated offenses will result in a ban. Criticism needs to be constructive. People don't get better without critique, but empty comments such as "this ain't it" and "you aren't cool enough for this" should be reported.
• Respect all GENDERS
  The sub has evolved beyond its name and we welcome posters of any gender. Questioning anyone's gender identity or the right of anyone to post here based on their perceived gender identity is strictly prohibited.
• Post suitable FASHION
  This sub has a focus on designer and avant garde fashion. Classic #menswear and basic athleisure are better suited for MFA and SW respectively, and will be removed at the mods' discretion.
  Posts of counterfeits / reps / fakes / etc will be removed.
• Post suitable WIWT
  Photos posted must be of yourself, meeting minimum photography standards. No mirror pics, at least one photo must show the whole outfit standing, and photos must be well lit and in focus. You must post an outfit breakdown in the title, picture, or comments.
• Post suitable INSPO
  Inspo must be in album form with at least five images and an introduction.
• Post suitable DISCUSSION
  Advice posts such as building a basic wardrobe, simple questions regarding fit, identifying/locating items, etc. are better suited for the Daily Questions thread on /r/malefashionadvice and will be removed.
• Post dank MEMES
  Posting jokes and memes are perfectly acceptable as long as they are fashion oriented.
• Post zero ADVERTISING
  Surveys, crowdfunding, personal sales, and other promotional commercial posts are prohibited without prior mod approval (which is rarely given). DIY posts must come with explanation of what you've made, why you've made it, and how. Process pictures and descriptions are encouraged. You are expected to answer questions about the work you are showing off.

Discord

We are not making our own Discord because it's a lot of work and we have no interest in doing or maintaining it. However, we have partnered with /r/streetwear's official Discord, where they have offered posters here a Discord home, so feel free to head on over there.

YOU ARE FOREWARNED: if you're a dick anywhere, you can get banned everywhere, so follow the rules and be nice.
