"Just as we have our own personal flourishes when we speak, we convey personality, emotion, and back story through our fashion choices. But while we use language as a way to express our inner thoughts and feelings, we also use it to make ourselves legible to other people. If clothing is a language, it must have a vocabulary and a grammar like other languages."

how would you relate the concept of “fashion” to one of “style”?

Fashion and style as they relate to an individual is pretty clear: fashion even if one were to argue that it can originate through the vision of an individual, the designer…like Dior’s “New Look”…is essentially a collective phenomenon. To participate fully in fashion one must accede to the prevailing trends which are the consequence of a critical mass of consumers. Of course there is always the possibility of editing and modifying the menu of fashion options to one’s personal taste, but to be fashionable is in the end to participate in a consensus. Style for the individual on the other hand is necessarily a series of subjective preferences and decisions that can range from a complete concession to la mode or a move toward an individual expression that, in its extreme, ignores or even rejects prevailing fashions. Many people who are known for their “style” seem to have mediated fashionable convention and its rules with distinctive personal taste and idiosyncrasy. The pitfall of too individuated an identity, of course, is eccentricity which can be amusing. However, “amusing” isn’t, when applied to issues of dress, generally in the same sentence as “alluring” or “elegant.”

What does fashion have to do with intellectuality?

If I were seeking out great fashion icons, it wouldn’t be my first impulse to search the rosters of Nobel laureates or members of the Academie Francaise. On the other hand, an examination of the lives of the greatest women of style generally reveals individuals of some cultural sophistication. I can’t think of anyone who is known for her stylishness to be stupid or purely instinctive. The memorable women of fashion have to be intelligent enough to understand the rules and codes, often nuanced, implicit in fashion, and how far they can go in testing the limits and boundaries of those accepted standards. I love the fact that when someone is perfectly put together they are said to look “smart.” That’s as intellectual as fashion has to be. - based harold koda

this makes me think because i see people always proudly uploading fit pics on social media groups when they look like another cookie cutter trend following fashion victim. i mean, are they not aware of this? surely they must be, because every second person uploading a pic literally has the same thing on. does this mean they're content with just 'fitting' in? are they not aware that they're not special at all?

confuses me every day

2/2

Before I reached that tipping point, I think I would not have been as influenced by real world need as I am today.

I think I also became VERY aware that fashion draws its influences from far more places than just other fashion. I see in certain pieces the relaxed urbanity of a wealthy city, or a light fog rising off of a lake with the smell of pine and earth underneath it all.

In the world fashion thread the other day I had an interesting discussion about this with timber and TurnLeft. How do things like environment and the sound of our language affect the way we design and implement our styles? It’s a hard thing to pin down exactly, but I can look at the patterns of an Inca ritual mask and see the curves of jungle rivers, the lush green canopy overhead. I can see those influences in the works of yesteryear and I can see them today.

In summary, the tipping point was when I truly began to understand fashion as a language borne out of both self-expression and need.

Besides, let’s be honest - is just laying down cash on one piece after another without pondering the why and how really enough? Don’t you want to know why?”

At what point does fashion become more than clothes to a person?

“I think it happens in a different place for different people. I’ve always been very introspective so perhaps I was set up for this mindset ahead of time, I don’t know.

But I do know that at some point I stopped thinking about fashion as a way to define myself for others and more as a natural function of how I relate to the world.

It went from being focused around acquisition and self-definition through object fetish to a means by which to reconcile my personal philosophies with the often disparate world around me.

For example, huge hoods. They’re a tool. They offer me privacy and warmth in an often cold city where I’m surrounded by cameras and without personal space. Some people like the way they look - I know I do - but I value them more on account of how they make living in a cold, crowded surveillance society a little bit more palatable.

A man should look as if he had bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forget all about them. - Hardy Amies

this is funny because it's so true, you can tell when people are not comfortable in what they're wearing because it's a misrepresentation of themselves / a costume

i saved this a loooooong time ago
obv its a little off but the basic concept is right

[hip$ster No.6297616]

if you want to improve your outlook by reading something, read a fucking book

they exist for a reason; sometimes you have to commit to something more than reading one little "quote".

here's my contribution, though it has nothing immediately to do with fashion:

"Within the last few decades, in countries like Britain or the United States, the literary intelligentsia has grown large enough to constitute a world in itself. One important result of this is that the opinions which a writer feels frightened of expressing are not those which are disapproved of by society as a whole. To a great extent, what is still loosely thought of as heterodoxy has become orthodoxy. It is nonsense to pretend, for instance, that at this date there is something daring and original in proclaiming yourself an anarchist, an atheist, a pacifist, etc. The daring thing, or at any rate the unfashionable thing, is to believe in God or to approve of the capitalist system. In 1895, when Oscar Wilde was jailed, it must have needed very considerable moral courage to defend homosexuality. Today it would need no courage at all: today the equivalent action would be, perhaps, to defend antisemitism. But this example that I have chosen immediately reminds one of something else—namely, that one cannot judge the value of an opinion simply by the amount of courage that is required in holding it." - George Orwell
