    In my view, this is how "fashion forward" people dress these days. As designers, don't we want to dress better than these brainless "trendy" people?

    • assuming these are designers, maybe the ability to spot, predict and utilize trends is something they want to communicatescarabin

    • Good design is about subtle details and I don't think most people here are experimen artists, so that probably explains the "ordinary" way people want to dress.

    • Probably, but it's probably more of a reflection of co-workers, clients, etc. My clients wouldn't let me in the door if I dressed like some of the images here!formed
    • Sometimes clients want crazy ideas and "new thinking", but if they're a museum or college or bank, they might not take you seriously if you're dressed like that

    • I think it was the Razorfish founders that wore neon suits...back when it was "new", you could get away with "different" for shock value. But today,formed
    • web, etc., is not new anymore. How you dress projects where you are in life, age, success, etc. For pure design talent, I just let the work speak.formed
