I think I still didn’t introduce myself properly. Please, meet me, the one of the most stylish women around, just kidding, who talks clothes and fashion inspirations. I also do not take part in a frenzy of being the it-girl.
“Pencil skirts, jean leggings, a great white shirt, military jackets and tall boots are just some of the styles that will be roaming high school hallways and college campuses this fall,” -I try to escape the predictions like that and mostly do the opposite.
To be honest, I don’t read the ‘outfit inspiration’ blogs anymore (I used to do it with my daughter for ‘inspiration’), mainly because they all copy each other, i.e. go spend loads of money on Kate-Moss inspired outfits just to swirl around, take photos and properly never wear them again.
I used to go to the library (a dinosaur!) and browse through the fashion books for inspiration. It is quirky to find out, that many successful designers used to go to the museums and libraries for inspirations. That’s where they were digging!
‘Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn remain frozen in time, because they exuded a fairytale foreverness. These women were all natural beauties whose star appeal lay in their subtle sensuousness, unlike the in-your-face sexuality that’s thrust in our faces today.’ Or
‘Like Dietrich, Diana Vreeland was of the older generation but important to the notion of chic: she was the top dog of the all the stylish women.’ Or one more
‘The stunning forties silhouettes at Lanvin are Hitchcock-heroine glamour at their best.’
The last one is already from the internet. Yeah, I hang there too.
If you don’t constantly re-invent yourself, you’ll end up being a dinosaur. Just like the print media, who have had to expand from just hard copy to online websites, blogs, e-alerts, sms-es, multimedia and now twittering.
So you are looking for fresh and updated information regarding dresses, dress designs and new trends in dresses? Looking at the intense demand for dress info, here you are:’Draping is a must-have for autumn/winter’.
SERIOUSLY, speaking about the dress, I would mention a draped Gianni Versace dress – the master of the sexy dress himself! I personally would accept a Chanel rubber-knit dress, a Prada’s land-girl glamour dress, but most of all a Roland Mouret dress. Can anybody tell me where I can buy an affordable Chanel, Prada or Mouret?! Never mind…
How about that: ‘Clothing is our Second skin. Man since prehistoric time has always endowed in textiles to protect his body from acute climatic settings and wild animals. With the course of time, the idea of wearing clothes from just protecting the body became a way of beautify the body and also hold specific cultural and social meanings.’
Fashion geeks know, a sprinkling of catwalk inspiration is best served with a slice of vintage, a sliver of high street and a generous spoonful of personal style.
If you notice a woman wearing a woolen dress fit like a glove and 40′s-inspired with a pair of Oxfords and a woolen, Chanel inspired cap, it would be me… Only sequins are missing. They would decorate beautifully silks and berets.
