Fashion Biz, Not As Much! – On my Om 2026-06-02T00:13:01+00:00 https://om.co/2026/06/01/clothes-are-nice-fashion-biz-not-as-much/ robertogreco“The clothes are inoffensive, but there’s no point of view. The downside isn’t bad taste, but the erosion of individuality.” – Turner Allen, personal stylist, New York Menswear today is neutral tones, muted basics, everything well-cut and normal. Or as they say, nice. The Business of Fashion recently called this an epidemic. Everyone in the industry has an opinion about it. What almost nobody has is an explanation for why. The fashion media is smart enough to spot the symptom but fails at the diagnosis. The BOF at least attempts an answer, channeling the music critic Simon Reynolds, who argued in his book Retromania that pop music had collapsed into endless pastiche – referencing references, with nothing original left to say. The same, the BOF writer suggests, has happened to fashion. The epidemic of nice clothes is what you get when an industry runs out of ideas. Maybe. But that framing is still entirely about the industry. It leaves out the person standing in front of the mirror. Me. The writers’ complaints are simply the arrogance of insiders, something common across media. Just look at how self-referential the Atlantic and the New Yorker have become. Same when it comes to technology, sports, and everything else. They all treat the paying customer as a rube. What if we stopped wanting the opinions of fashion insiders and sports reporters who are not nearly as honest as they pretend to be? Everyone is talking their own book, all the time, everywhere. Everyone is looking to get paid. We the rubes have learned a thing or two. For years we have been swimming in images. Instagram, street style blogs, TikTok, Pinterest, the endless scroll. Whatever you think of that flood of images, it has done something to our eyes. It has trained us. We have looked at more clothing combinations, more visual context than any generation before us. We have developed taste not from magazines but from sheer accumulated exposure. The assumption buried in the insider complaint is that the point of view should come from the garment. That the designer is the author and we are the readers. That clothes arrive with meaning already assigned, and our job is to receive it correctly. This is how the whole enterprise of fashion writing has always worked – and it is, not incidentally, how affiliate link revenue works. You spot the trend and explain why it matters. You link to where they can buy it. That model made sense when images were scarce and editors were gatekeepers. It makes far less sense now. Look at my own closet. It is a capsule collection of about a hundred pieces. Plain, nice, comfortable, well-made garments. French-made bespoke blue shirts. Muji T-shirts. Japanese workwear. I arrived at each of them because they are precisely what they are not: a line item in LVMH’s annual profit report. They work with my body. When I combine them, the result is mine. Not defined by a runway, a trend, or any external verdict. Alexander McQueen famously said: “I want you to come out either repulsed or exhilarated, as long as it’s an emotion. If you don’t feel an emotion, I’m not doing my job.” It is a great quote. It is also a completely designer-centric view of the world. The designer produces the feeling. You experience it. You are the audience. That model is over. Today’s designers are mostly hired hands executing the commercial agenda of conglomerates whose job is to sell expensive product on installment plans to people who want to feel rich. The clothes that result are rarely worth the allegiance. A perfectly cut neutral trouser means almost nothing by itself. But that trouser with a specific shoe, a worn jacket, a watch with some history, a shirt you found somewhere unexpected – now there is something. The clothes are the vocabulary. I write the sentence. Compare this to what came before. The hypebeast era, the logomania, the streetwear machine – that was actually the most passive way to dress in living memory. The brand told everyone what you were about. The logo spoke. You just put the thing on. It was expensive ventriloquism. The epidemic of nice clothes is not a failure of imagination in the industry. It might be the industry finally catching up to what people actually want: room to think for themselves. A canvas, not a lecture. The question was never whether the clothes have a point of view. The question is whether you do. Lawrence Lessig in 2008 argued that the 20th century had been a Read-Only culture. You consumed what the professionals produced, passively, with no mechanism to talk back. The phonograph, the radio, the CD: the machines made you an audience. The internet broke that. Suddenly culture was Read-Write. You could take what existed, layer it, reinterpret it, make something yours. That shift has expanded with every generational turn – Web 1.0, Web 2.0, social, mobile, and now AI. Fashion just got there later. The hypebeast era was the last gasp of Read-Only dressing. What is happening now looks like an epidemic of nice clothes. It is actually the beginning of something else. The read-write metaphor has since become read-write-read. And the data backs it up. Hundreds of millions of people are not just consuming culture – they are recreating it. Layering it, putting it back out. The fashion industry’s complaint that people lack a point of view doesn’t hold against what the numbers actually show. These are the same people uploading 14 million tracks a month to SoundCloud and posting 272 TikToks a second. They have plenty of points of view. They just stopped waiting for permission to express themselves. Now give me the raw energy of Diya Joukani – a self-taught designer from Mumbai who just filmed a cameo with Rihanna. Wintour is good for hosting the Met Gala, not for finding the new thing. She can’t. Because there isn’t one new thing anymore. And the fashion-industrial complex doesn’t understand that. The upside of the connected world means now I can find a talent like Diya without any editor telling me that I must pay attention to her. And in her I see what I have always imagined, a world where we tell the story of us. Diya and I are about 35 years apart, but she captures how I see my clothes. A palette to be put together. Simple, nice, and authentic. Embellishing is what I do. Sure, I learned from Anna and her ilk. But now I know myself much better, and hence nice is not just nice. It is me."]]> ommalik clothing fashion apparel self self-expression identity luxury branding readwriteweb web online internet socialmedia gatekeeping influencers elitism diyajoukani consumption consumerism influence 2026 media simonreynolds business industry technology sports thenewtorker theatlantic insiders journalism tiktok pinterest exposure garments design clothes hype hypebeast expression logos lawrencelessig 2008 readonly readwrite readwriteread nice soundcloud personalexpression https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:9b2d0a15618b/ Design Meets Disability, by Graham Pullin (2011) 2026-05-05T15:56:07+00:00 https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262516747/design-meets-disability/ robertogreco grahampullin design disabilities disability accessibility prosthetics fashion accessories technology charleseames rayeames eames 2011 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:b3f485425270/ Designing uniforms vs designing clothes for regular people -

Most people spend their lives housed in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours.” — Verner Panton, Designer. “Writing is hard. And I’ll also say, writers are born, not made. The more you teach someone how to write the more you risk squeezing the creativity out of them. We don’t need me-too, we need unique.” — Bob Lefsetz, Writer Both were saying the same thing, albeit about two different aspects of culture and society. And they were only echoing Oscar Wilde’s erudite observation from 1891.
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” — Oscar Wilde, Novelist
Wilde is one of my favorite writers because he was so eviscerating and devastating in his observations, no matter the cost. He said that just before the Victorian society destroyed him for refusing to conform to its sexual norms. Individuality and the ability to stand outside has always come at a price. That is why people don’t want to stand out. They conform. Psychologist Rollo May, observing 1950s America: “The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.” May diagnosed this when McCarthyism was literally hunting down anyone who thought differently. Four quotes, separated by over a century, say the same thing. And yet, what Panton, Wilde, and May couldn’t anticipate was how technology would industrialize conformity. Wilde saw people living as mimicry in 1891. May diagnosed conformity in the 1950s. Both described social pressure. What used to require shame and ostracism is now baked into the internet’s economic infrastructure. The algorithmic reality of technology platforms has codified conformity into the human condition. And it is very profitable—the real late-stage capitalism. Things are going to get worse with the new AI, that leans into the “mid” as a default, built entirely on the notion of conformity. Today, open YouTube and every single thumbnail looks the same. Shocked faces, specific color contrasts, carefully positioned text overlays. Same voice. Same cadence and energy level. And videos have roughly the same lengths. The algorithm rewards these patterns with distribution and punishes deviation with obscurity. Creators choose grey-beige conformity because it works, and the algorithm rewards sameness. My carefully curated list of creators has devolved into sameness. Whether pen reviewers, photographers, music bloggers, history tellers, or science bloggers—it is clear they are praying at the feet of the gods of algorithms. Spotify has done the same with subtle algorithmic music. Don’t tell me you don’t hear that “Spotify sound” in music production. Songs engineered to be short, to provide an instant dopamine hit. The first 30 seconds have to hook listeners before they skip. After that, who cares? After all, Spotify pays the same for 30 seconds or three minutes. Everything is now made to belong on a Spotify playlist. Spotify, let’s face it, is still in kindergarten compared to Instagram and TikTok. Those two have scaled, metastasized, and gamified conformity to a whole new level. The grey-beige aesthetic is what gets distribution. Color, weirdness, genuine imagination get algorithmically ignored. Match whatever narrow aesthetic the platform currently amplifies, or else move on to the backwaters. Those who think they’re being creative because they’re “creating content” are just living at the whims and fancies of the algorithm, painting by numbers in templates already defined. As Wilde said, their creative output is just a reflection of the algorithm, their “content” a mimicry, their creativity just a joke. The sad part is that Instagram and TikTok’s ability to unleash conformity at global scale impacts the offline world as well. It was a trend first noted in 2016 by (now) New Yorker writer Kyle Chayka in his piece for The Verge, “AirSpace.” To jog your memory: AirSpace is a phenomenon where Airbnbs, coffee shops, and co-working spaces across the world look identical. Reclaimed wood, industrial lighting, minimalist furniture, the same Edison bulbs hanging over the same avocado toast. Every coffee shop became Sightglass circa 2008. The goal isn’t uniqueness. It’s matching what performs well in photos and gets bookings. It is ironic. The whole point of Airbnb was that each location was supposed to be quirky and unique. If I wanted sameness, I would prefer the bland efficiency of a J.W. Marriott or a Hyatt. At least I don’t have to make my own bed and get freshly laundered shirts by end of day. Silicon Valley amplified this blandness. It is the people. It is rare to find people who are interesting, unique, and have strong enough opinions to have convictions, especially public ones. This lack of imagination is reflected in the dress code of the Valley. Steve Jobs inspired many to wear black turtlenecks. Mark Zuckerberg jumpstarted the uniform of grey hoodies. And who can forget the half-a-decade-long orgy of mediocrity and lack of taste: Allbirds, those wool sneakers that became the unofficial shoe of tech, as if an entire industry collectively forgot how to dress themselves. The mimicry wasn’t about fashion. It was actually a simple signal: I belong to the winning template. It was farthest from it. In my essay, Sometimes a Shoe is not a Shoe, I wrote:
Right through the mid-nineties, non-conformists dominated the technology industry. The first uniform for the valley was: no uniform. It was a place where misfits fit together. The emergence of the internet was the start of conformity. …. As the technology industry became the cultural zeitgeist, it became necessary to advertise to the world that you were part of the tech set. And the easiest way to do so was through a uniform.
The Silicon Valley doyens mimicked Jobs’ turtleneck the way courtiers copied Louis XIV’s walk. Same impulse, faster cycle. What took Versailles years now takes months, thanks to Instagram. The algorithm spots the trend. Temu gets to work. The factory produces it, the platform (Instagram and TikTok) distributes it, all before the original gets cold. The industry that built the algorithms couldn’t escape the algorithmic thinking. Even their own look has become content optimized for recognition. Zuck wears a big thick silver chain over his black T-shirt? Six months later, every founder worth their pre-seed dollars sports the look. Make that three months. Back in 2007, I wondered about the commodification of social interaction. I mused about a future where human connection became a product to optimize. Nah, I didn’t expect this. We’re living in the endgame. Algorithmic reality doesn’t just commodify interaction. It standardizes imagination. The algorithms squeeze creativity out of millions by showing them exactly what “works.” We don’t get unique. We get infinite variations of the same. And yet here we are. Our algorithmic gods are our teachers, tastemakers, and economic incentive all at once. Fall in line, and get paid. What May called courage banishes you to a world of lower distribution, fewer views, less income. It’s safer to wear the cloak of grey-beige conformity. Even supposed refuges aren’t safe. Take fountain pens, a hobby I love and collect because they are an expression of a very unique art form. I am very deliberate in my likes. I wrote about this in my essay, “Designing a Life.” Just as my photos, my playlist, and my wardrobe are a reflection of my inner self—likes, loves, and desires—my approach to hobbies like fountain pens is the same. Even in a hobby where hundreds of variations of pens are released every year and infinite inks are made available, I see people being so uncreative and becoming part of the “herd.” And you quickly realize that a lot has to do with the QVC-like charms of Instagram. It is so easy to be swayed by the sameness-disease. I fight everyday, to not be swayed by the machines, and let me taste over ride the blandness I see around me. And yet, I have fallen victim a couple of times."]]> ommalik algorithms 2026 sameness boblefsetz oscarwilde rollomay ai artificialintelligence psychology vernerpanton design homogeneity siliconvalley individuality socialpressure spotify tiktok weirdness color contentcreation airspace kylechayka airbnb marriott hyatt signtglasscoffee stevejobs markzuckerberg clothing fashion fountainpens everyday technology https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:7a6ff7723177/ how one company broke sewing for EVERYONE - YouTube 2026-01-05T06:26:30+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=4VJxJesgF8Y robertogreco joannfabrics sewing hobbies retail textile textiles cosplay clothing diy costumes materials 2025 yayahan making hobbylobby privateequity leveragedbuyouts history us consolidation craft crafts art theranos bankruptcy ceos materialliteracy quilting liquidation gagroup lizardleigh community education apparel offshoring customerservice labor work workers healthcare projects pasttimes capitalism latestagecapitalism pandemic covid-19 coronavirus supplychain canon crafting accessibility houseoffabrics hancockfabrics clothworld alanrosskamm 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s economics videoessays fabri-centersofamerica fastfashion 1943 cleveland butterick ebenezerbutterick ellenaugustabutterick joanzimmerman jackieannrosskamm gender prarierevival fashion justinzimmerman almazimmerman bettyrosskamm martinrosskamm knowledge institutionalknowledge hildareich bertholdreich sigmundrohrbach matildarohrbach women guitarcenter darrellwebb drewmaloney fabfrics wademiquelon michaelpendergrast greatamericangr https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:3237c57dd4d3/ The Swiss Watch Industry Needs Bernhard Lederer's Philosophy 2026-01-02T12:57:08+00:00 https://www.beyondthedial.com/post/bernhard-lederers-watchmaking-philosophy-could-liberate-the-swiss-watch-industry/ robertogreco watches watchmaking 2025 lederer philosophy bernhardlederer philippedufour fpjourne karivoutilainen laurentferrier wittgenstein sunryusuzuki zen zenbuddhism aesthetics solitude independence sincerity stectacle thought elegance fascination attention mechanics phenomenology watchcanon socialmedia panerai breguet vacheronconstantin rolex switzerland johncoltrane charlieparker jazz music detentescapement humility slowness slow decoration philanthropicindustrialcomplex charitableindustrialcomplex cynicism consumerism consumption art abraham-louisbreguet luxury fashion wonder horology markets innovation marketing hype understanding allenfarmelo escapements watchmovements https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4ab82130b3ef/ Clarks and Jamaica - YouTube 2026-01-02T06:26:51+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wexVwwpCH-U robertogreco clarks jamaica shoes boots footwear 2021 clothing fashion https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:3663e7d9daf8/ Why Jamaica Is Obsessed With A WWII Boot. - YouTube 2026-01-02T06:25:38+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzAgs47Idzw robertogreco clarks jamaica shoes theironsnail michaelkristy clothing fashion footwear 2025 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:11d01677cd83/ Substack's Stacked Debates: Utopia - Can you teach an AI taste?
