Have you ever marveled who decides what's "in" and what's not for this time of year? Can fashion fanatics really tell if your last year's closet is so out dated? And what do we need to do to be always fashionable without breaking my bank? I am sure you all have, at least one time in your life about these questions. As a fellow woman, I will share my thoughts on your concerns. Over again, these are my ideas and please do not hate me for this because we are all entitled to have them. Many people love to visit various online store to buy posh moda items. This post aims to show what is fashion identity and why it is important to you.
In my opinion, it all begins with an INDIVIDUAL. Each year we see new creative individuals, designers naturally, bringing their new fashion to Runway for the upcoming year. Retailers transform these fashion creations to daily wear so that an average woman like us can carry comfortably without feeling awkward. We, the consumers, buy the products and bring it home thinking that it will make us belong into the fashion world. Seldom do we think of its' design to cover our body. After all, that should be the main purpose of those products. And if it's not, then what else does it offer us?
Those beautiful clothes gives us a feeling that we are wearing something beautiful to enhance our look, aside from that it also gives a impression of possession of beauty makes us confident and contented. Remember that these products was made to enhance your physical appearance. No wonder we want more of it and no wonder we want to wear what will make them look great for the time. Just like how people who have plump figures were regarded beautiful and a sign of affluence during renaissance period whereas today no woman can imagine wishing for a fuller figure, since petite is the new definition of beauty.
To make it short, we want to buy current stylish clothes is not wrong because everyone desires to feel confident and satisfied. What's wrong is the feeling of being obligated to buy those products and our habit of disposing our previous clothes just for the heck of purchasing new. We are all creative in our own way and can put the old clothes together in a new and fashionable clothes and surely you will have something stylish, if not more. Not to mention with the latest economic problems, it should be the "in-thing" to do. Just because there are creative people come up with some beautiful ideas and have set the bars high does not mean our own fashion creations and creativity is worth less in anyway.
Remember that "fashion hits & disses" and other similar things, does not realize how close this concept is to shaping our personality especially the youth. We dont want to have next generations whose identity is based on "brand-names".
