Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual

Haute Couture: Foreword by Kit Carruthers
Okay, it's clothes nobody would wear in day to day life, you fully acknowledge this, this is for our little art shows not for people to actually ever wear on the street. Now, the REASON nobody would ever wear any of these clothes in day to day life, is because this clothing would be the most ridiculously deliriously stupid thing to ever be seen wearing. Like with big plated small serving culinary arts this is one of those places where you understand you're artists, but you wish to be able to reach for the high art acknowledgement of painters and musicians and writers and so you create a demented abstractification that does nothing but destroy anybody else in the field's ability to call themselves artists. Nobody outside of your scene can tolerate your scene, it's pretty much the highest of "WHAT'S HAPPENING" deep compartmentalization. The semi-conscious alterations are trying their hardest to place you within reality but what we're actually feeling is pretty much psychotic giggling, THEY LIVE IN A DELIRIUM FARCE PLAY. THEY TAKES IT REAL SERIOUS. I THINKS THEY NEED THEIR MEDICATION.

Some of it is just... Off the baseline, looks like something somebody might actually wear if they live in some sort of imaginary fantasy world, that's not the stuff that makes us hurt but the stuff that makes us hurt means we can't ever look at that either. Then there's... The... Women who appear to have become a palm tree in both shape and size. Okay now MARCH, LOOK LIKE YOU'RE TAKING YOURSELF AS SERIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE.

Establish, DOMINATE, generate press. You trickle ideas down into wearable fashion, well, OKAY, maybe, chances are it could be done without you and now anybody who's wearing any of the clothes inspired by these things has to think about... It came from runway fashion did it... Okay bypass my own personal sensibilities find what appears to be accepted standards and say I like it hoping everybody thinks I look cultured. Or... I wish I didn't know that. If it is in fact true you've given us anything of value to think about, okay we've seen it you've got nothing else for us.

The Secret: Foreword by Kit Carruthers
So... The actual secret to sophisticated clothing is... Not Haute Couture's secret the actual secret... Start at like Winners, buy last years designer clothes, go to your first level of sophistication expensive clothing store and buy a shirt and pants, go to the second level of sophistication expensive clothing store and buy a shirt and pants, then go to the one or seven stores in your urban centre who has a man guarding the entrance with an implied psychological pistol who keeps telling people you're not sophisticated enough to buy clothing from this location. Then from there you get the address of a secret warehouse full of clothing, from there you may be called to go to the next one and then the next one and then the next one, somebody may recognize your sophistication and send you straight to the final level in your urban centre. At which point the answer to "How much are you willing to spend on a shirt?" is ask how high it goes, they say "$5000" and you say "Well, 5000 sounds like I'm try hard, I guess maybe... 4900." at which point they instruct you okay you want the $2000-3000 range that's where the best shirts are. In order to pull this off you have to actually be sophisticated, not just read the instructions.
