The Fashion Culture


Fashion Feud is coming in a few weeks and submission is starting this week.



If you don't know what Fashion Feud is, it is Singapore's first inter-polytechnic fashion competition where the five different polytechnics compete to see who has the most fashionable students. The person who gets the most Poshed look on the site gets to win cash prizes, and shoes from Feiyue! It is hosted by the recently revamped fashion site, Poshism


Some might say that Poshism is pretty much a Singaporean version of Lookbook, but there are some differences. They are similar, where people can upload their looks on the website and people can posh/hype their look if they like it. The major difference is that in Poshism, the uploaded looks are moderated before being uploaded to the site, whereas in Lookbook, any submission goes on the site straight away.


There are pros and cons to this. Some may think Poshism is better because since there is a moderation, the looks on the website would be of a much higher standard. But then again, I think it could be a con as the moderators may like a different fashion style than you do. This results in not having your look posted, or not liking the looks on the website.


There's no way to fully satisfy everyone's needs and wants, so I don't think that there is anything wrong with having moderators on the site. I think it's better to have a higher standard of what the judges would want, rather than having a whole mash of different things. Quality over quantity. So I really do like most of the looks that are on the site, and I like how it feels like it's such a tight-knit community. I think Poshism is doing alright, and it's definitely gonna go real big in the future.
