REWRITING ARISTOCRACY

Fashion - Bridgerton

Some people view getting dressed every day as a mundane task, where the clothing acts as a uniform to wear as we go through our day. For others, that step in a morning routine gives life purpose. When we wake up, we can decide how we want to portray ourselves through the clothes we wear. Whether we want to be seen as beautiful, compelling, creative or provocative, the opportunities lie before us on hangers. What we wear allows us to state who we are without having to say anything at all. That in itself holds enough power to make an individual not only feel they are wearing art, but that they are art themselves.

From the initial sketch of a budding idea to the final stitch of fabric, each piece of clothing holds the potential to transform how someone sees themselves. Fashion has no universal dress code or set of rules to confine creativity. The best part of clothing is that, like any other art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When you find that piece that makes you love who you are, wear it proudly. Fashion is a powerful thing for those that choose to embrace it boundlessly. There is room for everyone and is always something new to be explored and flaunted.

There is something to be said about the clothes we choose to wear while life takes us through the experiences that make us who we are, and even more to be said about how we feel while wearing them. And with each conversation in fashion, we come to a simple conclusion: that it is wearable art.
