Fashion Kaleidoscope

Hues unlimited......

The world can never forget what Benjamin Franklin had once quoted “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every forth night”.
It’s an art of constantly creating and innovating for better.
Needless to add Fashion is synonymous to change without which our lives would have been boring .It’s an entity which is as old as the human civilization, one way or the other fashion has influenced, and will always remain a part of our lifestyles.
The fashion industry, what we know it today as, is the fruit of the enormous endeavors of the designer community who gave design a highly creative edge thereby making fashion a million dollar baby.
Graduating from the apparel and accessory domains, fashion has gradually touched a wide spectrum of the industry, while still remaining in the back of the stage at times.
Without thinking twice I believe that the entire credit goes to the designers. In my opinion like fashion the definition of a designer too is misconceived most of the times.
A designer is not only the one who sits in some high fashion design studio at Paris or Milan and churns some –n- number of weird idea’s for the world to go gaga about, rather he or she is a social scientist who believes in changing the meaning of “a good life” which should be certainly full of opulence and luxury.
Therefore he or she could be anybody sitting anywhere in the world and irrespective of all the biases of backgrounds….. A scientist, an engineer or even a rock star. You name the domain and I am sure we can pinpoint names who have left their marks and have influenced fashion with their distinctive thought process.
The Glamour and panache fashion encloses is of course unavoidable, but one shouldn’t get lost in that. These are just like spices that add flavor to the recipe the actual cooking demands lot more efforts.
The entire thought process involved in designing a single new trend for every coming season involves so much of circumvention that one can’t even think about; it’s a detailed analysis of the social circumstances we are living in currently, meaning it involves studying the entire demographics of the society.
To consider a small example it is believed that after the world war-2 finished, the color red was almost swept out of the fashion industry the reason being simple, with so much of bloodshed already happened, people around the globe couldn’t see the color red anymore.
Result, The color red remained absent for quite a long period of time as if it was never there as a hue itself.
And the influence was not just limited to the textiles or clothing or even accessories for that matter, it rather reached wherever there was a scope for color as an adjective.
Such is the power and authority fashion holds………..

You hate it, but you still can’t ignore it, therefore remembering what legendary designer Coco Chanel had famously quoted once Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

Acknowledging the romance of fashion and lifestyle…..
Feeling Mesmerized, let’s open our minds and thoughts……

Keep following fashion let’s see how far we can go………
