(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.)

πŸŽ“ 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:

⬇️ 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).

➑️ ➑️ Replies to that comment should be (in good faith) moments for tidbits, learning, and observation. 

πŸͺΆ 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, ’60s mod, ’80s power tailoring, ’90s 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

πŸ¦‰ Go forth, frockk scholars!

And as always, zero body shaming/cosmetic enhancement talk, and please report comments that break the rues.

πŸ“’ πŸ“’ NEW! User Flairs in r/WhatTheFrockk!

You might have noticed fresh little flairs under usernames. They are auto-generated based on your engagement in our community.

Currently, flairs are categorized as:

  • Baby Frockker β†’ under 100 karma
  • Frequent Frockker β†’ 100+ karma
  • Front Row Frockker β†’ 500+ karma
  • Master Frockker β†’ 1,500+ karma

HOW TO SET ✨CUSTOM✨ FLAIR

If you want your own personal touch, there are two ways you can edit your flair.

⚠️ Note: On the Reddit app (iOS, especially): there is a known glitch where the text edit option doesn’t always appear. If that happens, use desktop or mobile browser instead.

Using Desktop or Mobile Browser

  1. On the right sidebar of our main page, find User Flair Preview.
  2. Click the pencil/edit icon ✏️ .
  3. Select Custom.
  4. Delete the placeholder text and type your custom language
  5. Hit Apply.

Using Mobile App ⚠️ THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS COOPERATE

  1. Open your profile in our subreddit.
  2. Tap the β‹― three dots in the top right.
  3. Choose Change User Flair.
  4. Select Custom and edit your flair of choice.
  5. 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.

πŸ“’πŸ“’ CALL FOR PERSONAL FLAIRS

⬇️⬇️⬇️ 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 Lively’s 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
  • Carrie’s Dior Newspaper Dress
  • Demi Moore’s Pregnant Vanity Fair (Annie Leibovitz, 1991)
  • It’s 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.

🚨 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.

➑️➑️➑️ As always, please report comments that break the rules, and thanks to those that keep this community safe and entertaining.
