“Who,” Rather than “What”
The Sartorialist (a fashion blog) has a beautiful post today about an androgynous image:
Often I read comments on this blog like “Shouldn’t clothing enhance a woman’s form and femininity? ” or something of that nature.
I think this is a very narrow view of what clothing should/could do for a person.
Clothing only needs to keep you protected from the elements, past that what you do with them is your option.
This young lady is a great example of self-expression and intellectual dressing.
Nothing she is wearing really speaks to WHAT she is physically ( fat or skinny, tall or short, male or female) but her look speaks volumes about WHO she is mentally.
Is this fashion? I don’t know but it surely is an extremely evolved version of self-expression.
Bravo!

Ok, massively old post, but as I’m currently raking through the archives, I just wanted to say I love this!
“Clothing only needs to keep you protected from the elements, past that what you do with them is your option.”
– I might print that out and stick it on my mirror :D
