Fashion Lady Crap

Archive for May, 2010

Michelle Obama has graced the covers of several fashion magazines even before she started residing at the White House. Her fashion sense is said to rival that of Jacqueline Kennedy. She hit the campaign trail in chic and yet smart outfits. The unique Michelle Obama fashion sense has won her a special tribute from The Council of Fashion Designers of America.

She is known to wear Narciso Rodriguez, Jason Wu and Thakoon Panichgul, but she also has an affinity to lesser-known designers. There is nothing extra ordinary about her sense of style, but she has a knack of making a boring outfit elegantly interesting. She can even stand out in a low-budget outfit, just like the gown she wore on the inauguration. The yellow ensemble was made by Cuban-American Isabel Toledo.

Even the First Lady’s fashion sense is not void of controversy. She is often photographed in sleeveless tops and this has caused quite a stir. It raised questions of appropriateness. Conservatives think that it is not appropriate for someone of her stature to wear sleeveless tops in official functions. It even raised the logic of wearing sleeveless during a cold weather.

The smart-looking sleeveless tops she would usually wear sparked a unique Michelle Obama fashion style. It has become more stylish for women to show off their toned arms. In fact, the much anticipated Michelle Obama Female Force comic shows her in a sleeveless top with arms folded highlighting her biceps.

She doesn’t seem to dress up to impress the fashion world. This is understandable, considering her manic lifestyle as a successful lawyer, mother of two and wife of a president. The Michelle Obama fashion sense is almost seems to be that of a utilitarian. It is obvious that she knows how to choose an outfit that flatters her figure.

Michelle Obama has the courage to wear bright jewel tones. She has a penchant of wearing colourful dresses as well. Making them work the way ordinary women wouldn’t. Again, just take for example the gowns she wore during the inauguration. They were unexpectedly elegant considering the shade of yellow that were used.

The Michelle Obama fashion sense is young and sophisticated, very much different from the usual drab that the previous First Ladies wore. She is a lot younger than the other First Ladies and we got used to seeing a President with a woman boringly dressed beside him during inauguration. This is the first time after Jacqueline Kennedy that we saw a First Lady that could make it on the cover of major fashion magazines.

Being the strong independent woman that she is, the brouhaha over her fashion style doesn’t seem to faze her a bit. She is unrepentant of her biceps-showing outfits. Nor is she about to get a stylist to accommodate the conservative’s whim. The unique Michelle Obama fashion is destined to become a classic look that will be transcend time. Years from now, video clips of the inaugural would still be shown and she would still look as stylish as ever.

Many of us think that fashion applies just the clothes we wear, but in actual fact it can be applied to almost anything we do. Fashion is used to describe a means of expression. The terms “fashionable” and “unfashionable” are used to describe something that does or does not tally with the current popular mode of expression. Fashions can apply to many fields of human activity and thinking, including those such as architecture, music, speech, pastimes, etiquette, politics, and technology, to name but a few.

The broad use of the term fashion when applied to clothes was used in the past as a means of people showing solidarity with other people by their choice of clothes. However, in more realistic terms, today Modern Westerners have a wide choice of clothes available to them, and wearing what is currently in fashion is unlikely to be exactly the same as someone else. Nowadays what a person wears is more likely to be a reflection of their personal tastes and character, than wanting to imitate somebody else. However, when celebrities or people in the public eye start to wear new or different clothes, people tend to copy them and a new fashion develops, therefore the original term may still apply today.

Fashion is something that varies tremendously, not just in different eras, but also in the same generation but between different ages, social classes, professions and by location. The term “fashionista” has developed in the 21st century as a way of describing someone who is dedicated to fashion, and the development of this term is indicative of the role fashion and trends play in the contemporary age.

Fashion by its very nature, is something that is continually changing, and when applied to clothes this happens even more quickly than in other areas of social behaviour. What is an interesting phenomenon in regards to clothing fashions is that whilst something quickly becomes out of fashion, it can become fashionable again at a later date when these clothes come back into fashion again. This is something that is seen predominantly only with clothes, and not with other areas of design or human actions.

Every part of one’s appearance is subject to fashion, from makeup, hair, length of skirts, and accessories, nothing is left untouched. Fashion houses and their fashion designers, as well as their celebrity clients are key in determining how clothes fashions change and how quickly. They are also the main force behind determining if something is in or out of fashion and if to bring something back in to fashion. An important part of fashion is fashion journalism, and this can be found in every magazine, newspaper, and television article around, as well as in fashion websites and blogs. This is demonstrated by the fact that Vogue, founded in the US in 1902, is now one of the longest-lasting and most popular magazines in the world, and has spurned international editions around the globe. Despite the advent of television and widespread internet coverage, press coverage is still seen by the fashion industry as the most important form of publicity in conveying the new fashion trends to society.
