title or description

Clothing as an everyday manifestation of nuanced personality, as a subtle beauty. We are by no means conservative, boring, or anti-ferality; we do, however, staunchly campaign against the senselessly trashy + flashy in our personal spaces.

There really are no "rules" for members when it comes to posting. Some suggestions are photographs of your favorite articles of clothing, perhaps with descriptions (often times words convey nuances in a garment that photographs are incapable of capturing)...documentation of outfits either in writing or by visual means...and posts of images of designers' work you like. We hope in this community that there is more of a focus on the personal & everyday; there is an inescapable & inherent narrative layering of significance in the way we dress ourselves for a day, and that is what we hope to discuss. In addition we hope to adress, with a critical eye, clothing and fashion as symbolic forces which shape and are shaped by a variety of social and cultural agents.

If you would like to join, EMAIL US at the address above with information about yourself, your interests, and sample posts (at least 4 if you plan on posting pictures and/or at least 2 if you plan on posting primarily text). You can link to your journal if it meets the photo/written requirements, but we are also interested in getting to know you first. ANY REQUESTS to join without introduction will be ignored.
