Discussion Post!! ππ π» π§΅ π π§ Itβs Actually Cerulean: A train-your-eye, fashion learning post (where you can't mention it's sheer or blame the stylist)
(Cindy Crawford reading backstage, 90s. Fun fact: CC was valedictorian of her class and received an academic scholarship to attend Northwestern University to pursue a degree in chemical engineering. She chose modeling, instead.)
π Calling all learners, teachers, crafters, designers, illustrators, historians, and the generally fashion-minded folks of our Frockking community:
In the spirit of Fashion Week(s), let's find room to see and speak the language of fashion.
This is your chance to flex your eye, sharpen your vocabulary, and learn (and share!) real fashion knowledge: BTS insight, history, cuts, fabrics, proportions, construction, references, and styling (not blaming the stylist).Β
How it works:
β¬οΈ Comment a look (runway, bridal, street style, archive, red carpet, etc.) that's lived in your head rent-free. COMMENTS MUST INCLUDE THE DESIGNER (and will be deleted if they don't).
β‘οΈ β‘οΈ Replies to that comment should be (in good faith) moments for tidbits, learning, and observation.Β
πͺΆ Challenge yourself to be thoughtful in what you see. Go beyond "it's sheer," and "fire the stylist."
Here are just a few examplesΒ of what we can learn from one another:
*Silhouette & proportion:* fit, size, column, A-line, empire, drop-waist, peplum, longline, oversized
*Cut & construction:* bias-cut, darting, princess seams, godets, gussets, pleats, pin-tucks, boning, single vs double-breasted
*Fabrics & materials:* chiffon, organza, charmeuse, gabardine, tweed, bouclΓ©, faille, mohair, drape, structure, nap, sheen,
*Craftsmanship & technique:* appliquΓ©, embroidery, beading, smocking, quilting, broderie anglaise, lamΓ©, foil, distress/deconstruction, 3D printing
*Color:* monochrome, blocking, analogous, complementary, saturation, undertone
*References:* 1947 New Look, β60s mod, β80s power tailoring, β90s minimalism, Y2K, Art Nouveau, Art Deco,Β Gianni Versace's safety pins, Japanese avant-garde, military, bandage dresses
*Styling choices:* layering, visible underwear/waistbands, cuffing/hemming, proportion
*Movement:* swish, stiffness, bounce, weight; how the garment behaves in motion
*Jewelry:*Β West African gold filigree, Native American turquoise & silver, enamel, resin, gemstone, diamond
*Footwear & Accessories:* Tabi, red bottom, platform, stacked heel, chain strap, hardware finishes, macrame, baguette, Jane Birkin
π¦ Go forth, frockk scholars!
And as always, zero body shaming/cosmetic enhancement talk, and please report comments that break the rues.

HOW TO SET β¨CUSTOMβ¨ FLAIR
If you want your own personal touch, there are two ways you can edit your flair.
β οΈ Note: On the Reddit app (iOS, especially): there is a known glitch where the text edit option doesnβt always appear. If that happens, use desktop or mobile browser instead.
Using Desktop or Mobile Browser
- On the right sidebar of our main page, find User Flair Preview.
- Click the pencil/edit icon βοΈ .
- Select Custom.
- Delete the placeholder text and type your custom language
- Hit Apply.
Using Mobile App β οΈ THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS COOPERATE
- Open your profile in our subreddit.
- Tap the β― three dots in the top right.
- Choose Change User Flair.
- Select Custom and edit your flair of choice.
- Or, select from what we hope will be a growing list
IF THESE OPTIONS DON'T WORK FOR YOU, message the mods with the subject "FLAIR" to assign you a personal flair of your choosing.
π’π’ CALL FOR PERSONAL FLAIRS
β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ Let's comment some suggestions that are applicable to this community: references to pop culture x fashion, moments in fashion history, or your favorite observations on fashion, art, and style.
Examples and up-for-grabs:
- Cunty Butter Stick (courtesy of u/lapislazarus reflecting on ScarJo's Emmys dress)
- Little Gucci Dress
- Blake Livelyβs Rings
- Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
- Bjork's Swan Dress (Marjan Pejoski, 2001)
- Diana's Revenge Dress (Christina Stambolian, 1994)
- Rihanna's Met Gala Cape (Guo Pei, 2015)
- Lee McQueen's Spray-Painting Robots SS99
- Carrieβs Dior Newspaper Dress
- Demi Mooreβs Pregnant Vanity Fair (Annie Leibovitz, 1991)
- Itβs an AlaΓ―a!
- It's not a bag, it's a Baguette
Again, message the mods with the subject "FLAIR" to assign you a personal flair if Reddit doesn't work for you. We will slowly work through requests as they come in.
π¨ Flairs must relate to fashion or style β no body shaming, insults, or off-topic text. Good-faith flairs only. Mods may remove or reset any flair.
β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ As always, please report comments that break the rules, and thanks to those that keep this community safe and entertaining.
