Ever walked into a public space – restaurant, photo studio,
classroom – and weirdly all the girls look alike. Dressing, mannerisms, speech,
hair, gesticulations, everybody is doing the same thing! Seriously! It is
frustrating!! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!
Although we all are as different as spots and stripes, and
as slim is different from plump, the interesting fact about creating a worthy
first impression is that having “your” style, while incorporating trends,
will present you as likeable, thoroughly real, and more likely to be
remembered. However we (guiltily) prefer to wear out inspiration, cling to
clichéd images and imitate styles that are done-to-death… The vogue in today’s
world of fashion encourages you to be somebody via what you wear or nobody at
all. It’s almost lacking “le difference”… ((Forgive the French
expression)). We forget that uniqueness
can be the most beautiful aspect of living!
So why are we unoriginal? Is chasing trends beneficial?
Fashion as an idea, a created art and form of expression that is constantly evolving.
Fashion is created to be as different and as unique as
individual finger-prints. It simply requires "you".
Marc-Alain Descamps, French philosopher and psychologist presented fashion as
an ever-changing and over-determined phenomenon which expresses the unconscious
and one's own personal evolution, and which covers many roles and values in
human psyche. The expression of individual style with colors, labels, trends,
and fabric cuts is based on moods, events, seasons, culture and the
environment.
I will introduce you to the four ladies I happened to
distinguish in that room full of the same people: - the Traditional and
Comfortable lady, the Socialite, the Materialistic lady and the Clueless lady.
