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.
