the push towards AI in creative industries will briefly disrupt creative jobs, until people quickly realise how much human creative labour is necessary to make an “ideas guy”’s idea remotely interesting to human audiences. between “ideas guys” and creatives only one is actually replaceable by LLM

The Menswear Guy is right - there's a lot you can learn from Emergent Tokyo in terms of how urban design and walkability influences culture in ways you would't immediately consider. The book comes highly recommended, and you can read about it in our review, here: unseen-japan.com/emergent-tok...

Well, I didn't expect to have an angle on this one, but... Sure, why not, let's discuss the key things that the UHC CEO's accused assassin gets wrong about Japanese urbanism. 🧵

The book Emergent Tokyo isn't necessarily about fashion but it touches on some of these urban planning issues. IMO, looking at historical and institutional structures like this helps us explain why culture is the way it is, and gives us more traction on how to change ours.

Why is Tokyo so fashionable? Some theories. 🧵

Saagar Enjeti tweets: "Probably a cold take but IMO Tokyo is the male fashion capital of the world: whether it’s western wear, suits, street wear the aesthetic is refined to the highest possible level

From the salaryman to the rebel teen they are impeccably dressed

It also helps no one is fat"

Emergent Tokyo (by the excellent @joemcreynolds.bsky.social) is one of those books that keeps popping up in all sorts of different discussions - like here, in a thread on the kind of ecosystem necessary for Japan’s outstanding fashion niches. It and the thread are both a great read!
