Fashion Now
Today being fashionable isn't about obtaining standing items that everyone else has. Women are demanding more personalized pieces- whether straight from the runway or custom made items or unique gems found in millions of retail websites offering pieces that stores simply don’t. Pieces that set them apart from the crowd.
Jamie’s rusty orange and yellow combo is an easy to define bold color statement that will set anyone apart if wearing on the street. ‘70s still growing trend is for women desiring understatement rather than logos.
Now tags simply don’t matter as much. What we want are things that make us feel really singular. With one click of a mouse you are invited into the world of designers old and new, fast fashion and retail chains all catering to this new wish for more personal interpretations of indulgence.
When putting this ensemble together for Jamie, I gravitated toward the season’s latest off-the-runway looks. As I was looking through the photos taken by John Rounds I could not decide which ones are the best. All of them are incredible. As I was trying to narrow it down and looking at Jamie and how amazing she looked in those colors I realized that the future of the fashion industry lies in offering different choices and styles targeted to specific types of costumers. There will be a group of fashionistas that will set the trends and will need the most unique and extravagant items but let’s not forget about mothers, business women, tall or short women. Not all designers make jeans for really tall women in fact there are only a few brands out there that cater to really tall women. Ironic, as most of the runways are walked by some of the tallest girls in the world.
Young women are outdoing their descents by purchasing never-seen-before pieces. The new fashion is unsolidified and energetic- fun, carefree traces like the tweed clutch or suede wedges are important parts of the equation.
Now the ultimate luxury is having the choice and freedom to dress exactly how you want regardless of brand or make. Luxury is being able to relax and enjoy things… just because.
