Fashion is about making a statement

Inspired by Elle interview with Marc Jacobs

Today I want to start a propaganda.
Propaganda which states that 
"Fashion is a tool- a tool to make a statement".

You might take it metaphorically or just as it is.

You may hide under thousands of layers and pretend to be someone else,
or you may "shout" some slogan using a T-shirt.
You may let people know how colorful is your personality
by creating unforgettable look 
or wear black suit to show your boss that you are mature 
and reliable person.
It is your choice.
Either way- you make a statement.

Even if you do not care what hangs in your closet-
you still express something with that.
Simply, that you don't care or as some may say 
"you have more important things on your mind".

Fashion is a tool to make a statement.

Use it.

Behind the scene

Oh, Haute Couture

Oh I love Haute Couture...

For me it is like true art. 
It's a chance for a desiger to let his imagination free. 
To show his real creative potential.
Each piece is special, each carries its own history.
But in the same time it is not simply about a clothing.
It is about how it makes you feel.
That is what's truly amazing about Haute Couture,
It is not just everyday dress,
those pieces are designed to be special
to make YOU feel "one and only".


Here are some shows that I find extraordinary


First Armani

I felt like in a dream.
I had to check twice am I really watching fall/winter collection.
It is light, bright and shiny. In some way it is like watching snowflakes dancing in the wind.

Elie Saab

I am huge fan of this designer. For me he is one of those men who truly understands women.
Master of emphasizing the strengths of female figure, with those V-necklines and narrow stripes on the waist.
His shiny materials are light and delicate, making you feel like modern princess.

Chanel

What a show... 
It is not presentation of a clothing, it is a travel to the mind of a designer.
The play with textures and shapes,
the performance of royal greys 
and it's all in the spirit of Chanel.

Which shows did you enjoyed the most?

My first outfit post!

 To be honest I was a little bit nervous-wasn't sure is it something for me and that is why it took me that much time to publish it. However, when Marcel said she could help me out I finally decided to.

 Concept was simple- take one dress( the one from my prom) add a collar and see how I can work with it under field conditions. The time has come and.....it started to rain. Ok, I take the challenge. What came out of it you can see in this post.

What am I wearing:

Coat: Cubus

Dress: Emamoda

Shoes: noname stolen from my sister

Collar: from my grandma's old shirt

Pink sweater: Marks and Spencer

Striped Sweater: H&M

Ring: Lokaah

Fashion in words- New Generation of models

History in a nutshell

First they were anonymous, badly paid and had no perspectives. The job was just to present clothes. After a while, when first modeling agencies were established the situation got little better. What may be interesting, in those times models were expected to have their hair and make-up done before they come to the shoot. In 1968 Glamour magazine published an article where it called 19 girls a "supermodel". By the 1980, modeling became full-time job and agencies became working globally.

From slim ,to sleek body, to 0 sized girls

What is next in modeling?

Attitude. Nowadays, it is not enough to be slim and tall to get your way in modeling. Top models need to inspire and have their own opinion. They can not be transparent. Facebook and Twitter gave models a voice and what follows way to express themselves. Plus, models who are popular on social media can bring new audience to the brand which cooperate with a girl. Best example can be Coco Rocha, whose Twitter account have more than 500,000 followers.

How can social media help a model?

It can be easily described by words of a designer, Zac Posen:

“I’m not interested in a new girl every season,” said the designer Zac Posen, who has booked Ms. Rocha for his runways for the last six years. “I’d rather have a girl like Coco who’s not just a hanger but a brand all by herself. In a time when the industry doesn’t promote models having voices, she’s really broken the mold.”

So, what is the formula for a super mode today?

I think that what did change in the industry is that in some way it became more accessible. With a development of global agencies and more affordable travels, more girls have a chance to become a professional model. What it caused is increased competition. Even though we might have greater access to this world, it is extremely hard to actually break in. It is not enough to have nice body. Nowadays you need to have your own opinion and say it out loud. I think that models stopped being "just models" now, they are more of the brand themselves. They have to represent something more than just a pretty face. The image of a "stupid girl, who can't get a regular job, so she does modeling" is fighting away. Now, to get to the top you need to be unique and what's more- know something more than just modeling.
