“Fashion Personality” by Beatrice Brandini

It has been almost fifty years, but the runways in recent seasons, especially those of the next Autumn, seem to be inspired by that fashion show (Collection “Liberation” just celebrated in the beautiful exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent Paris “La Collection du scandal “).

If we see the pictures from some fashion shows Autumn / Winter next, sometimes speak of “gambling” “fantasy” “eccentricity” is an understatement. In fact, designers and fashion houses are emblazoned let go, offering a fashion made of fantasies boldly combined together, impalpable fabrics matched with raw, thick, felted wool, prints of cartoon little fun and very kitsch of psychedelic colors combined together.

I do not know if the crisis is to generate this desire to “chaos”, I do not know if it’s the uncertainty that it takes anchored to an eternal desire of youth, or even the fear (or lack thereof!) of responsibility, from eternal Peter Pan…, probably a bit all this.

Fashion is always a key to lucid and realistic of the company, as well as the reaction to what is happening. Therefore a bit we should be preoccupied (political masters, sometimes look at to the fashion shows,would understand many things!).
This trend seems to want to impress us and wanting to offend, legitimizing “error”.

It will not be easy to adapt to everyday life (in addition to a physicality that define toned is pure understatement), but it can be a challenge and a game, because play is (or should be) the first “rule” to love fashion. Adapt it to our taste and needs, surely we can not say that we did not feel “free!”
Good life to all!
