For example, at the moment with the recession, designers used lots of black solid shapes for fall 08. And remember the military jackets were in fashion at the time when the troops were in Iraq. It associates with serious issues, which is one of the reasons I love fashion. What is going on in the world is one way of forecasting future fashion xxParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866795441882369019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-85613815594462447892008-06-09T11:32:00.000-05:002008-06-09T11:32:00.000-05:00I think real style is bout working with what you'v...I think real style is bout working with what you've got and highlighting best assets... cheesy but true. And I have to say, the choice to wear high heels is reversible and a choice made by grown ups! No debate that people do change everything though, even with something as harmless as makeup you can totally change your look.vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586316294009658979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-29905796153568767652008-06-09T00:05:00.000-05:002008-06-09T00:05:00.000-05:00I always found it interesting that our society lar...I always found it interesting that our society largely frowns upon body modifications like tattoos, facial piercings, and stretching, but encourages modifying one's natural dental structure with the use of metal brackets that put pressure on the teeth to move them over time for the sake of vanity. Braces are actually one of the most hardcore of the body mods if you think about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-76964575282152524782008-06-08T22:05:00.000-05:002008-06-08T22:05:00.000-05:00but who said fashion was serious !!!!? hahhaha hil...but who said fashion was serious !!!!? hahhaha hilarious ! it's so superficial baby.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/16097640453005747136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-73877458268220977992008-06-06T21:34:00.000-05:002008-06-06T21:34:00.000-05:00I see what you mean. But establishing these rules ...I see what you mean. But establishing these rules and developing our clothes is a sign of our culture and removes us from other animals--an outward reflection of our inward mental complexity. I think fashion can be as serious and meaningful as we make it. It's not just shopping and it's not just clothes, the outward image is deeply tied to our mental image of ourself and a reflection of our culture and time. Ties are formal for certain cultures, but not others. In some foot-binding is still attractive (and we also have surgeries to make your feet smaller, which is a similar practice), while these might be labeled as "ridiculous" they are a reflection again of culture and time--meaning and history...Rebecca, A Clothes Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224914134360638396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-5695819599460966302008-06-06T15:02:00.000-05:002008-06-06T15:02:00.000-05:00I totally agree with you especially about the fact...I totally agree with you especially about the fact that it shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm wearing a pair of wedgy heel things that KILL my feet - practicality? What practicality? They look great!<BR/><BR/>Over on hel-looks sometime recently, a girl said "I buy every pair of shoes that make me laugh," and I think that's probably the proper attitude to have to fashion.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886664827853072532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006629658253499652.post-90947588593432068132008-06-06T00:27:00.000-05:002008-06-06T00:27:00.000-05:00You're talking about very recent history.

In the 1500s in Venice, women started wearing the chopine originally to keep their shoes out of the muck.<BR/>Here's a chopine link:<BR/>http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/chop/hd_chop.htm<BR/>Here's a history of high heels link:<BR/>http://users.powernet.co.uk/wingett/History1.htmWendyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985099019783464580noreply@blogger.com
