WHY FASHION?
Let's return to Naeem Inayatullah, months after my last post.
“While writing is certainly a skill that requires a certain mastery of technique, I see it also as an engagement with the very fabric of life.
I've realized that writing about fashion, clothing trends, seasonal do's and don'ts isn't hard hitting journalism. But it is my connection to writing- my way of connecting literal fabric to the fabric of my life and passion for writing.
Without further ado...
Thought for today: fashion juxtaposition
Nautical and urban grunge. Let's begin with nautical. I'm thinking stripes, red, gold and navy blue. Crisp, collared, cape cod. Urban grunge: leather, faded jeans with trendy tears and splatters, jewelry that isn't particularly attractive. Now let's juxtapose. A Harley riding bad boy, our urban grunge boy takes a trek to cape cod to pick up his lady friend. She's got on her white capris, red polo shirt and an oversized yellow and gold patent Michael Kors tote. The two cruise the coast and one thing leads to another... and we've got a hybrid fashion baby. The look: destroyed dark jeans, form fitting, girly nautical tee, high leather shoes with straps that serve no purpose, sleek ponytail, pearl earrings and lots of chunky turquoise jewelry.
That was juxtaposition number uno.
Next I think we'll discuss the mis-matching patterns trend that has invaded the glossy pages of Vogue. Or velvet's rise to stardom...
Xo. for now- go get your own trend on
