Are you good with fashion?
Posted by DamnataI can't tell if they want British fashion alone or general fashion.
This just made it harder for me to think of something.
If general fashion, I'm just gonna be shameless and plug a friend's work - upcoming fashion designer Birute Mazeikaite.

If British fashion, Hussein Chalayan and Betty Jackson.
Also, John Galliano and Stella McCartney.

And there's no such thing as women's shoes in British fashion. They're not made here. Only men's on the tailoring side. Less research for you if it's only Britain.
If you wanna win, get a Libra guy on your team. :p

all i could think of:burberry, ted baker, Reiss, VVB, Stella McCartney ( audrey hepburn& harry potter❤️)
* trenchcoats
* midi dresses, collared dresses, shift dresses
* square&high necks > v neck
* big on trousers: cropped, ankle grazer, leg fitting, cigarette
* sweaters, cardigans, basic tops
* flats, flat pointy shoes, ankle boots, pumps (everything lol)
* scarves
* earthy tones, navy, red, b&w
* they either play with the prints, mix two different structures (same color) or play with simple details like pockets and zips, never too much or too flashy.
* clean cuts, smart, simple, classy, never too tight or too baggy, not about higlighting body parts-shape but showing off the peice of clothing.
* buns lol
I like most of these!!! earthy tone clothing and darker colours. I had to turn down some new clothing my aunty gave me this year because they were pinks and coral colours. too light.
I like dresses down to my knees and past my knees and I lilke to wear boots with them or in the summer sandals.

If it's just British fashion, that's much easier. You only have to look back as far as 1965 and no earlier.Mary Quant and the mini skirt coming into pkay, giving attention to King's Road. Then the 1990s brought the names today, McCartney, McQueen, Westwood.
Aside from that all you need to know about is Savile Row.
But if it's worldwide fashion, then Paris and New York were there long before, for the entire century.
I want my own personal libra to lay out my clothes, shoes and accessories every morning. 😛

sounds like what I read about Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake chooses her wardrobe what she should wear (he is libra stellium) so interesting!!

Please help a poor feral out.There's this British dude here who organizes trivia nights every Wednesday and I'm going for the first time this week.
I signed our team up before I saw the theme (yes, Aries Moon).
The guys are looking at me and another chick for this...and we're equally clueless.
I'm trying to do some research and narrow it down.
Anything that comes in your mind, I can't tell if they want British fashion alone or general fashion.
Designer names, types of clothes, types of shoes, any staples in fashion, everything that is common sense for you people with or without venusian placements and totally alien to me.
Thank you!
what's his income and /or how much can he afford— I mean that makes a huge difference.
if he's on a budget, it'd be best to go to 2nd hand stores, thrifty stores where rich people give away clothing and check out stuff there. There's a lot in the U.S, and I went there too! I was surprised at the massive amount of goodies.

I'm heavily into fashion. You need to know stuff like who invented the wrap dress - Diane Von Furstenberg. All the inventions...
You need to know about the fashion houses like the Versace's. You need to know that Betsy Johnson went belie up and has made a come back... and likewise Tommy Hilfiger.
You need to know the top deigners
Betsy Johnson
Viv Westwood
Tom Ford
Calvin Klein
Versace
Ralph Lauren
Lagerfeld, etc.
Google "fashion fun facts" and/or fashion trivia."

Is the whole quiz about fashion or is that just a special category, on the night, in addition to the mainstay categories?
Whole quiz about fashion ( ~50 questions)

@lisabethur8cool! i do like the style very classy...i got into it for several months then switched it up like i always do. ugh i love pairing midi dresses with boots! especially floral hippie ones
pink?
i cant look at pink anymore ive been into denims and pastels off shoulder comfy stuff for a month or so
now im into to peplum hem and skater short dresses in random colors
oh not a fan of pink.
what do you think of these middriffs with boots? I like the first one, like that billowing flowery summer dress,
this one is weird cause it's all polka dotty but it can be kind of sexy with those high pumps, still ...lose the dots.
I tried to look for something with lace and boots, and this is what I found, what do you think?
I don't know about the short boots on this though...but like the long dress almost to ankle length.

If I recall correctly you got pretty large tetas, yes? Separates are your bestfriends. I don'tdon't think i need to tell you how hard it is to find a dress that will fit your body all the way through.A silk blouse and an A-line skirt might be a good start. You need a slightly fuller skirt or trousers to balance out your top and give you a waist.
smdh.... it's for a trivia quiz....general fashion is the subject.

@lisabethur8I like the last dress and the first one but the boots are kinda eh :/
^ i like this one, wut do ya think
too hippy for me. I like the brown boots and laces though.
I prefer the darker clothing to have her skirt longer, down past her knees, and longer boots.
the flowery print is kind of ugly imo. looks like i'm running around in Hawaii or something.
@starwars, I prefer Blake Lively's clothing line, than I do the very popular supermodels like Cara Develgne, or Kate Moss, ect.

Yes honey. You clearly didn't read the OP.
Edit- Apparently SEVERAL of you didn't. Jebus.

Poor Damnata must be pulling her hair out over how badly this thread turned out.
It's like barely anyone actually read past the title.

Hey, the way I initially understood her OP, she needed to fuckin' dress up for trivia night. Like...a kind of Euro tradition they have where she would need a Dior cocktail dress to play Scrabble.

I killed most of my brain cells in the past 10 days plus I'm on like 4 kinds of cold medicine (I gave a brewery a bad review on Untappd so I think the squirrely looking barback with tuberculosis spit in my glass) and I still understood her.
Maybe I just understand Virglish better.

It's the issue of opposites - and the token Aqua.
Virgo and vague?
If it's about a fashion quiz. Google anything about fashion models. You'll learn it the easier way.
If it's a meeting of fashion-wise minds....do not dress monochrome, which screams boring corporate clone. Be daring, wear some Romanian vintage...something to set you apart and start a conversation with. Google some topics...for example........good for the water signs......the most fascinating story is that of tragic Alexander McQueen and his close friend Isabella Blow....both committed suicide....it gives me shivers down my spine.....
Being an ignorant could be a blessing in disguise....ask question after question......and compliment every piece of cloth you like, on man or woman.

That's because you read past the title. Half the illiterates here don't read beyond titles.
Guys, thank you !!!!
I know notifications suck when it comes to tagging people in large numbers.
It got delayed to the weekend so I have more time to research all you guys shared here.
And maybe a change of wardrobe is in order too. 😄
....People have the gall to say dxpers aren't helpful!
No I'm amazing at fashion
