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/ Rainbow Girls | Award-Winning LGBTQ+ Short Film -

Jony Ive spent a decade slowly removing any trace of personality from every product Apple released. Apple went from the original translucent-colored plastic aesthetic of the “Bondi blue” iMac G3 and the Power Mac G3 “Blue & White” to the more refined and unique design of the iMac G4 to… a bunch of aluminum rounded rectangles for decades. Chasing thinness, removing ports, simplifying everything down to metal and glass with no differentiation. As Mantia wrote:
[Ive] and his team designed great products during the first half of his tenure at Apple. But as he became wealthier, he started to conflate good taste with luxury. Jony often described Apple products with words about craft, material, and precision, all things that appeal to a luxury market. Apple shifted away from making products “for the rest of us” and started making products that appealed specifically to rich people. Not to put too fine a point on it, but they started making products that appealed to themselves. Because since Steve Jobs died, Apple, its executives, and its corporate employees got significantly wealthier. It wasn’t just Jony who took an interest in luxury. The whole company did. Anyone with even a little bit of power in the company started to dress more expensively. They all look like they could walk right out of a fashion advertisement.
Part of Apple’s appeal is “affordable luxury”. There’s no super-luxe iPhone for the billionaire class. But there is something about what Murray and Mantia write that strikes me as being absolutely right. In the wake of Steve Jobs’s death, Apple elevated Jony Ive to a position of total design authority as a way of signaling to the wider world that the company was going to be okay after losing its co-founder and leader. In that era, there was a genuine fear that a company led by an operations guy was not going to be able to keep the magic going. (Certainly, that’s a narrative that current and former Apple designers have been happy to push ever since.) The more I think about it, the more this (perfectly reasonable!) tactical decision has come to feel like the original sin of the Tim Cook era. An unchained and elevated Ive sent the right message to the world, and Ive really is a talented designer who built beautiful things. But without Steve Jobs to rein things in, Apple’s design sense got more insular, more obscure, more minimal. It’s one reason I’m so critical about Ive, his overlong tenure at Apple when he was obviously burned out, and the fatal mistake of placing software design in the clutches of him and his lieutenants: I just get the sense that those designers became untethered from the rest of us, chasing idealized product dreams based on the expensive luxury brands they wore, drove, and otherwise used every day. Not that Apple designs ugly stuff, but there is undoubtedly an antiseptic sameness to a lot of it that smacks of a design team that has disappeared up its own white void."]]> jasonsnell apple design luxury jonyive materials 2025 tools garrettmurray louiemantia alandye stevejobs inequality sameness criticism wealth https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f673d580a5ce/ Don't Become a Connoisseur. 2025-12-08T20:05:16+00:00 https://www.joanwestenberg.com/dont-become-a-connoisseur/ robertogreco joanwestenberg connoisseurs connoisseurship 2025 coffee wine enjoyment taste sophistication whiskey luxury money joy life living snobbery cv peacocking pleasure burgers beauty refinedtaste amen knowledge sunsets free publicdomain birdsong blues music consumption consumerism cultivation discernment noticing enthusiasm enthusiasts proust simplicity voluntarysimplicity performance class uppermiddleclass denim japanesedenim marcelproust https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:06e53a32873d/ Why Swiss watches made by Richard Mille, Patek Philippe are so expensive | 60 Minutes - YouTube 2025-12-08T06:21:43+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWX0V9BQe_A robertogreco watches watchmaking 60minutes philippedufour mb&f maxbüsser maximilianbüsser switzerland luxury richardmille patekphilippe jaeger-lecoultre history swatch timekeeping art craft danieladufour danièladufour 2025 tariffs rolex geneva valléedejoux https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:fd9113af2896/ And Stay Out 2025-12-05T01:39:59+00:00 https://lmnt.me/blog/and-stay-out.html robertogreco 2025 apple louiemantia alandye ui design jonyive wealth taste productdesign luxury eattherich fashion liquidglass authority excess veneer familiarity ux timcook stevelemay https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:07ec52d41673/ The Emperor’s New Grocer 2025-11-09T17:42:22+00:00 https://i-d.co/article/the-emperors-new-grocer/ robertogreco groceries markets hype supreme erewhon marketing packaging 2025 trends losangeles nyc nicolaiarips sammynussdorf luxury hypebeast emilysundberg happiergrocery rigorhill inequality deananddeluca citarella tashkent zabars andreahernández shopping delivery socialmedia shoprite history pigglywiggly 1916 fashion balenciaga telfar wholefoods scarcity manufacturedscarcity economics marcjacobs roundswamp hypemarts blackrock alizaabarbanel flamingoestate grocerystores supermarkets food snap zohranmamdani excess convenience culture society bodies health thinness minimalism austin doordash tacobell artificialscarcity https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:9b68cc145f80/ How luxury brands engineer desire with behavioural economics | Psyche Ideas 2025-10-03T16:32:15+00:00 https://psyche.co/ideas/how-luxury-brands-engineer-desire-with-behavioural-economics robertogreco luxury economics manipulation vintage 2025 charlottewren architecture fashion capitalism behavior scarcity psychology consumerism consumption society louisvuitton christiandior fendi givenchy celine gucci sybmolism chanel zara h&m versace escada plannedobsolescence authenticity individuality quality self-expression beauty aesthetics myth myths online marketing hype ads advertising exclusivity hermès tommyhilfiger danathomas china handmade dior https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:07184d89dbc1/ Requiem for the Rangefinder: An iPhone Air Review 2025-10-02T21:21:41+00:00 https://www.lux.camera/requiem-iphone-air/ robertogreco iphone iphoneair cameras photography history oskarbarnack 1913 leicam6 rangefinders robertcapa 2025 slrs fujifilm aesthetics streetphotography journalism simplicity stanleykubrick design engineering porsche applewatch statussymbols luxury debeers blackstone supreme panasonic andreaskaufmann leicadigilux1 leicamp leicam7 1984 film timemagazine iphone4s proraw photographicstyles computationalphotography bensandofsky fujifilmx100vi fuji leica hermès halide https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4a29ff0b33bf/ A rich person with awful taste is more of an 'average' consumer than you now 2025-09-09T00:34:04+00:00 https://mikeleepearl.substack.com/p/a-rich-person-with-awful-taste-is robertogrecoLetting so many of the country’s economic resources accrue to so few people, Zandi says, risks a lot more than just the economy—it eats away at social cohesion in ways that have leaked into other areas of American life and politics. It breeds distrust and recrimination among individuals and groups of people, as well as toward the systems and institutions we’re supposed to trust to make society work in ways that are at least minimally fair. The end result is a combination of economic fragility and social disaffection that eventually even high earners might not be able to buy their way out of. If you’re one of those high earners and you’re a rational person, this probably should be your takeaway. Mine, however, is much sunnier: we’re free. I grew up around Herbert Marcuse-inflected, anti-consumerist leftism — the only brand of leftism I knew was available in end-of-history America. I used to enjoy Adbusters magazine. I have, in the past, been disgusted by Black Friday, and I’ve found its rebranding as “Buy Nothing Day” as an antidote to consumer excess intriguing, if not especially persuasive. On one hand, a lot of those people busting down the doors on Black Friday are just poor people trying to get a low price on a TV. But on the other hand, I still find it a little too nihilistic when leftists shrug off all consumer concerns with the phrase “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.” However, I’ve just been handed a new way to shrug off these concerns: there’s not much consumption at all now except for what the rich are doing, and theirs are the unconscious desires meant to be satisfied by our dreary economic system. It’s their psychological turmoil that all this soulless slop exists to soothe. They’re the piggies at the trough now, not me."]]> mikepearl 2025 inequality consumerism us wealth waste liberation left eattherich markzandi economics consumption excess extravagance luxury class
