This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I'd argue fashion is a waste of human effort IMO.
Make functional outfits and comfortable ones. Literally nothing else. "Formal" should not even be a word at all, much less a genre of clothing.
Designers making wearable art pieces is kinda silly, but it gets by with being art, but that's as far as I'll allow the line.
Saving a useless accessory that's been mandated for certain jobs/purposes is actually obscene to me. It being "fashion" is no help, and given that it's the only reason it exists, it should be fucking deleted from our awareness.
Flight me.
You can't debate what is worth human effort without defining a human's purpose.
And I don't trust anybody who tries to tell me what humanity's purpose is.
I will not fight you, I agree with what you said
