Fashion through my eyes
Fashion through my eyes
"What you wear is
how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts
are so quick. Fashion is instant language." —Miuccia Prada
Fashion,
a word so commonly used in our day to day conversation has many forms and
meanings when spoken or thought about.
Take
English, Spanish, Mandarin, Afrikaan, Filipino, Australian, Hindi or any of the
6500 languages that are spoken in the world today, each one of them has a word
for how we dress, put ourselves up and present in-front of the society. In
French ‘mode, in Galician ‘moda’, in Finnish ‘muoti’, in Welsh ‘ffasiwn’, in
Mandarin ‘shísháng’ all mean a way or manner in which something
occurs or is experienced, expressed, or done.
Fashion has played
an important part from ancient times to represent people and their
culture. It also helped people who
belonged to a particular country to distinguish people belonging to different
classes. It also has helped and is still helping people exchange their cultures
as a goodwill and as a symbol for extended hand for peace and friendship.
The term and usage
of fashion has changed over time for both good and bad. In older times men and
women dressed differently. Colors were chosen differently. Queens and her maids
dressed differently. A soldier and their commander dressed differently while
going to a war. Men, women, girls and boys dressed differently according to the
situation and class for the same occasion. People used to dress as per the unwritten
assumptions collectively made by the society. Some bold and brave people cross
dressed and were subjected to jester or in worst cases punished. Women who
wanted to take part in wars or go on adventures had to particularly dress up
like ‘men’. Men who wished to dress up like women were shunned and abandoned by
the society. But as time passed, and our society became more generalized and
modern, it has been noted that fashion became more fluid. Now more and more
people can dress as per their preference, choice, tastes and colors.
In the next few
articles I’ll go through different fashion eras, interesting history stories,
reasons for fashion trends, revolutions and fashion wars (YES! wars also
changed world fashion) that has shaped our society for what it is today through
my words and thoughts. Hasta Luego amigos and pull up those sexy pants!
