The Technical Side of Fashion

Posted by Bravado Living On November - 2 - 2009

One of the glaring differences we have noticed, in not only the tastes, but the inquisitions of men’s style have been the curiosities of the technical aspect of men’s fashion. Maybe it’s men’s carnal nature to understand how things works, how they are put together, and the artisanship that is required for completion, but men seem to have a deeper bond with the articles they purchase then women.

Women appreciate fashion for how it makes them look, the perceived social status associated with certain brands, and whether or not they received a bargain, among other things, but they are rarely interested in the craftsmanship of the pieces.

Men, on the other hand, in circles of high-end luxury, want to know everything about the piece they are buying. They are not merely buying a piece of jewelry that is “in style” this season, they are buying an heirloom that will last generations. They do not just purchase shoes for tonight’s party, they buy investments that will last them a lifetime.

If that wasn’t the case then videos explaining how to Assemble an AP Royal Oak Grande Complication wouldn’t interest us, shoe shine events wouldn’t be a success, and tailors wouldn’t be in such high demand.

It might be a little unnecessary to be so heavily invested in ones style, but we believe any investment of this magnitude is worth this level of attention.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.
