On this episode, Hussein talks to Derek Guy, who you might know as "the menswear guy" on Twitter. We talk about Derek's sudden twitter fame when he was forced to become a main character after Elon changed the algorithm, and why he thinks his posts about menswear are incredibly popular, even among the most casually dressed, as well as oddballs who get mad about tailoring trousers. We also talk about how he started off as a forums guy, the ways in which forum culture informs the way he thinks about style and design, and whether the scope of the platform economy means that there are no more defining styles or aesthetics anymore.
