Be Fashionable: Not Just the Material Way


Here I have collaborate a few photographs by friends, from friends, and by photographer that I just admire.  
Fashion is not only a way of expressing your style, it's a way of art, and a way of life. 
















WHAT really is meant by the word Fashion? As simple as it may seem, this question is valued for its diversity in interpretation.Fashion is not just about ones clothes or accessories, it is a complete way of life.

It encompasses ones’ complete way of living. But what am I really trying to say? Without confusing matters further, I would like to say that fashion revolves around clothes more than anything else, though I will still say that fashion is ones’ entire lifestyle which changes with change, cyclically, in the garment world.

The colors and décor of one’s house are driven by fashion. The colors on walls of your house, the cushions you prop against those really hip couches, the curtains, the home accessories- everything is driven by the changes in fashion.

The terms ‘fashionable’ and ‘unfashionable’ are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not-so current, popular mode of expression. The term ‘fashion’ is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. 

So start changing the way you think. Put more thought into everything you do. For example: Instead of sitting around watching tv, throw on some shoes and go find a bench in the city to people watch. Sometimes that is even more entertaining than the tele! Switch from sneakers to oxfords. Switch from Sprite to hot tea. Just try something new. You never know, you might just find yourself in a new routine because you like something you've never tried before. 

Be fashionable: Not just the material way.



Thanks for letting me use your photographs everyone!
