“Fashion anticipates, and elegance is a state of mind ... a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future, and should never be static.”
Oleg Cassini
I already wrote a little about the first part of this quote that is so captivating to me that now I´m going to tell you what the rest of this quote means to me.
When I see people on the street, mannequins in stores, models in magazines, and many more, I can see how the time in which we live in is reflected in fashion, in the colors we wear, the designs and shapes, the way we wear those clothes. In the Fashion of the 1920s you could see everywhere women with short hair, cloche hats and dresses that made a very nice silhouette and were long right under the knee. When you take a look at the 1960s Fashion Styles you could find our so beloved mini-skirt and the pillbox hat, which is the kind of hat that Jackie Kennedy introduced us to, there were also many others like the "space look" and, of course, the hippie look. Later on in the the beginning of the new century we could find so many different fashion styles such as: hip hop styles with baggy pants, sneakers and gold or silver bling; the skater look with dreadlocks and baggy pants; the goth and rave look wearing black leather jackets and shaved heads; also the indie and emo look with vintage clothing and black or purple hoodies; there also were, and still are a lot of Alternative Fashion Styles. You see, there were, are and will be many different styles, and depending in which time we live in, there will be different kinds of styles you will be able to find. Fashion truly is a mirror of the time.
I just finished the last paragraph writing that there ALWAYS WILL BE different kinds of styles. FASHION and all the STYLES we have seen over the years, are very much
since we don´t know exactly what we can expect will be a new trend, we can only imagine and just try to figure it out with the progress we have seen over the last decades and centuries, and use it as our own translation of fashion and sense of styling that will surprise and inspire us in the future. Fashion does always anticipate and there are minds already working on new trends for next year and the year after, so, EXPECT the UNEXPECTED!!
STATIC is defined as lack of movement or change, and also it´s being described as uninteresting. Well this CAN most definitely NOT BE a word to describe FASHION! As Mr. Cassini said
and it won´t!! I believe that nothing is impossible and I believe that Fashion will always be changing, moving, always will be dynamic, full of variety, and it will be continuous, it will have a little bit of everything, always be uninterrupted because there´s no way people will stop having Fashion in their lives. No matter what type, no matter what colors and shapes you like, there will always be Fashion everywhere for everyone and if you don´t like it, Create Your Own Style!!
