It’s a bad one. It seems mostly used interchangeably with “maxi” but they’ll put it together sometimes. I’ve seen “flowy maxi” applied to skirts made of knit, woven rayon, and COTTON POPLIN, one of the stiffest apparel fabrics known to humanity. Today saw the words “Flowy cardigan” and I’m losing it
I had a nudist in my menchies once advocating for us to abandon clothes for moral reasons and I am thinking perhaps no one should be allowed to buy clothes until we figure out what’s going on
ok i was wondering what it would mean for someone's relationship to clothing to (literally) be almost entirely virtual, and now i have my answer, it's a nudist who is also for some reason a fashion influencer
Roland Barthes’s The Fashion System is basically an introduction to semiotics via fashion magazines. It’s great. He talks about how you wear a garment but you consume fashion, and descriptions increase the desire to consume whereas images diminish it, because you have consumed the image
I think about communities like bitcheswithtaste or femalefashionadvice, where as a group you’re ideating clothes but neither creating them nor really even wearing them, so “flowy” serves as a shorthand for a trend, without signifying what element of the garment is trendy
