Fashion Vocabulary: Some Styles and Consultants

in #fashion6 years ago (edited)
We continue through the wide fashion world runway; among, showcases, designs and experts, to learn more fashionist vocabulary to have a better understanding of this universe to apply it in our life in the correct way or as accurately as possible it could be. Combining our feelings with the dress and the purpose that we have determined, such as professional goal or a small family event. My intention is that we internalize together all this knowledge to take it smoothly in our day to day. Because, looking good goes beyond just getting dressed, it's personalizing a style to show the best of you.

There are many styles to talk, but let’s refresh this word: style refers to how we develop in our environment, it is the expression we give to the personality through clothing, music, books, and other elements that we like allowing us to communicate and establish our preferences guidelines.
When we are recognizing our new look there are several characteristics to take into account, the most outstanding are the tendencies like: Over Size, Minimalism, Maximalism. The first is one the most popular for this season, it is about clothes with a part of it bigger than the rest, an example could be: a sweater with huge sleeves, also a pair of pants very wide on the bottom, or a headband with a huge and ful color decoration and so on. With the following concepts you will see how this trend has been combined with other ones in a perfect balance, where every piece works perfectly.

Minimalist and Maximalist are concepts easy to understand because they are in our day to day. Minimalism is the simplest, cleanest expression, where detail is the main character; it stands out for using neutral colors, taking care of the timeless aesthetics of its design. Its boom reached in the 90s, consolidating itself until now as the stream of minimal use of elements creating a simple, elegant harmony of subtle lines; The slogan: "less is more" perfectly fits in here. Apple was one of the first company to take minimalism as its own and simplify the technological appearance of its products in an avant-garde manner. Some references in the catwalks we have 2 great and in personal opinion they are my favorites: Victoria Beckham and Carolina Herrera, who have made the fine lines and highlights the details in their designs a “must have” that we all want to look at some point.

Maximalism became strong at the end of the 20th century and its main exponent was Frank Gehry. This trend becomes omnipotent with designs that combine and exaggerate the use of styles, colors and texture. Preserving the elegance with contrasts that make convergence between them. They are considered risky designs with high volume and movement in their expression, as well as their antecedents: the Baroque, the Rococo and the Victorian. Currently among the maximalist designers we find Versace, Dries Von Noten and Agatha Ruíz de la Prada, who with unimaginable combinations offer extravagance to whomever like. In fact, using individually some exaggerated piece in a totally minimalist outfit can give you that eccentric touch that we all look for some particular moment. Which shows that both trends are combinable, without forgetting the suggestions of the experts and your intuition in terms of personal taste.

Even you know about styles it is important to go with experts, asking for help is always right if you go with the right person, because it is easys to make mistakes, due to clichés that we have about looking good. In the industry are many experts to guide you to improve your look, each one with a defined area to work like I’ll give you now: The Fashionist, this refers to the person who sees fashion as an artistic expression, studies everything about it and applies such knowledge for the personal development. Once, this person defines the own style and dedicates to educate others about it, this person becomes in a Personal Image Consultant, the one who communicates how to look according to your skin tone, to the shape of your body, incorporating your daily activity and personality. Then, we have something much more specific as it is: The Personal Shopper, as the name says, it is responsible for helping you get the correct pieces in a store, after having done the previous consultation with the Personal Image Consultant. It is important to note that one person can manage the 3 areas, joining you throughout the process of your new look, those are people like: Marian Lopez, Florence Mellino and me.
