  3. I don't often get sassy over such things because 1 minute is never enough time to go into the nuance of bigger issues like the ethics of high fashion so inevitably people will misinterpret what you say, often wilfully for the sake of their own ego.... BUT, the implication that crochet is a lesser art form than couture sewing really got my goat. And to imply that I'm just a silly little crocheter who doesn't know what they're talking about really riled me up. I could honestly write an essay on this topic, and as I am also a fashion historian I could also get that essay published in an academic journal if I so wished. But I don't want to do that. Because I have found that sort of academic institution to be elitist, ableist and out of touch. I'd rather we had an informed discussion here, where it is accessible to almost everyone, than write a paper that will be read by probably 50 people tops. But the issue with talking about these things in public internet forums is that the general abandonment of social etiquette we so often see online will inevitably enter the discussion. I think this person has misunderstood what I mean. Fair enough. I was deliberately being sensationalist for the sake of views. That's how the internet works. These short form video formats in particular thrive off of that stuff. But I also feel they are misinformed about how fashion works at the highest level. I accept I might be wrong about some things, this is not my area of interest or expertise after all. But to publicly put me down, whilst simultaneously reinforcing many of the misguided ideals I try to challenge here about the sexism, elitism and prejudice of the fashion industry is just petty and annoying. I wouldn't have responded if I didn't have a point to make. Crochet is just as much of an art form as 'couture'. If you're making your own crochet/knitting/sewing patterns, testing them, toileing them, refining them, altering them to be exactly how you want them and getting them to fit as fits your vision of the piece, then that's couture. You deserve that title just as much as a dead, white, French man, or a Nazi-sympathiser woman. WHOEVER YOU ARE. Continued in comments ⤵️
