The timeless language of FASHION
This last spring break, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit
New York City, a place where so many raw human emotions collide, often
opening a path to the most bizarre and conflicting clothing choices.
During my trip, I found myself analyzing the garments individually and
what they came to represent when they were worn together. I found
three insights that I immediately fell in love with, and found consistent
with our Renaissance issue:
1. People, one way or another, are always wearing history. Every piece of
clothing we wear, whether we know it or not, has its origins based on the
period it was conceived in and it’s shaped by the historical context of
such time.
2. Clothing is wearable art, we are always wearing someone else’s spark of
creativity and we inject their pieces of inspiration with our own styling
uniqueness, allowing for the work of two creative souls to intertwine in
our outfits. This is what makes fashion such an alluring concept, we all
have the ability to put ourselves out there standing on the shoulders of
someone else’s talented efforts. Those of us allured by fashion should
always keep this in mind every time we are choosing an outfit.
3. Fashion is a language of its own, no words necessary. As the lavish and
colorful outfits of Renaissance times spoke to us of the rebirth of
humanities’ creativity and love for the arts, so today humans send
constant messages in the way we dress; with every garment and
accessory, we are choosing the first impression we want to give to the
world without having to share one single thing about ourselves. As I stood
in NYC contemplating and admiring peoples wearable pieces of art, I
understood that fashion has always spoken louder than words ever since
the dawn of humanity.
