RSS 2.0 - Blog FeedWhen girls seek to look fashionable, they rarely think of who takes fashion decisions.
We all follow some fashion trends, but we do not care about the way these trends are developed. Definitely, it is high time to decide who is responsible for what we wear and, more importantly, for what we want to wear.
Fashion makes us wish, dream, and act to look modern, and there should be someone or something that makes us think in this particular way. Fashion designers guide our decisions and thoughts. Every year, thousands of customers, models, and celebrities attend fashion shows held by the iconic fashion houses. Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana – all these names have become a buzzword in the world of haute couture. Haute couture (or high sewing) influences the world of fashion and sets the most important trends. Thousands of people around the world believe that designers are the major source of fashion decisions and trends. Their designs, sometimes outrageous, are adjusted to become suitable for daily wearing. However, designers are not the only source of fashion decisions and trends.
The media is one of the main sources of fashion trends. We read magazines and newspapers, talk to our friends online, watch movies and television shows. We constantly expose ourselves to new fashion information. Remember The Devil Wears Prada? Meryl Streep has greatly influenced our tastes and preferences. However, you’d better not copy these trends and decisions word for word. You may like Prada originals, but are you sure you will look awesome? Are you sure that the dress or shoes you like will suit your appearance and personality? When you think about fashion, don’t take it for granted. Be creative and use media ideas as the basis to create your new self!
Fashion ideas come from celebrities and musicians. Celebrity-driven fashion trends are very common today. Just look at Jessica Simpson, and you will see how her outfit becomes trend-setting. Look at Madonna, Elvis, or Marilyn Monroe – they are all iconic figures in the world of fashion. Again, don’t forget that you are not Madonna or Marilyn Monroe. Be yourself and use media ideas for your own benefit. It does not really matter if you cannot look like Meryl Streep and her movie character. What matters is your personality and inner balance.
When we speak about people who make fashion, we often make a big mistake. We talk about musicians, celebrities, designers, but we forget about customers. Armani chief designer Ivano Cattarin is correct, when he says that it is the customer who decides fashion trends, and fashion designers simply re-shape and adjust these demands to make them profitable. This is why it is always important for customers to express their views on fashion. Fashion designers cannot be successful, if they develop unpopular ideas and create unpopular things. Fashion can influence our decisions and purchases, but we will not buy something simply because it is fashionable. We need to like it! This is why it would be correct to say that fashion is more than wearing modern clothes. Fashion is the way of life. It is the state of being, when we can enjoy the quality of popular products, wear them to look modern, and feel comfortable, while wearing them!
