My stepfather asked me recently what I would do if I found out my potential future boyfriend liked wearing dresses behind my back. I told him truthfully that I would see no problem with that, and that we would then be able to expand our wardrobes.

This mindset is not something I have learned from my parent of family, but from the Internet. It really shows how much more accepting this generation is and I think that it’s wonderful 🦄

You youngsters got a big job today. You gotta ask a lotta questions. The one question you gotta ask loud and clear is a simple question. That question is, if democracy is as good as we tell you it is, then why in the hell are we running all over the world trying to ram it down peoples throat with a gun? And the day you youngsters work to make this democracy work right for the first time, that’s the day we can bring the guns home. Because you see, anything good you don’t have to force on people–they will steal it.

REVIEW:

Jeremy Scott

Spring Summer 16

Jeremy Scott’s Runway looks always have a life, humor, and vitality to them that other designers can rarely capture.  I was reluctant to accept the kitsch aesthetic, but I have found when aggressive it can be totally genius, which Scott can usually achieve.  This Spring 16 collection missed that standard by a mile.  Spacey fishnet gogo girl is all I got from this collection.  Apparently, according to Maya Singer of Vogue, Scott was inspired by the idea of our brains going “screwy” from overexposure to screens.  First, this is a weak idea that could have been made strong by confrontational aesthetic choices, at lease more so than a large wig.  There were some psychedelic surface designs and textures (including multiple metal pieces paying homage to Paco Robanne I assume) on basic silhouettes of the 1960s.  A problem here is that the things he is referencing from that time were also inspired by these ideas, of skewing perspective and stepping away from the “natural” world.  It was a time of paper dresses and Pierre Cardin’s futuristic Space Age collection.  I can see Jeremy Scott trying to achieve that feeling of whimsy of that time that usually comes through in his clothing via different universal references that anyone who exists within western pop culture might would onto. The looks were fun and there was certainly a lot to look at like most of Scott’s work, but what always captivates me is the exploitation of popular images that brings about an adoration for them as purely images.  From barbies to festival culture, he brings a vitality and newness to things that I usually find annoying or “uncool”.  This collection was just annoying.

#FashionFriday Dress For Success: Generation Y vs. Corporate America

Generation Y is a generation of conscious, free thinking, equal rights promoters, tolerant, eccentric, indigo children, among other things. Our care-free attitude stems from our somewhat structured upbringing from Generation X. Generation X, the generation who first experienced integration and a plethora of rights that previous generations had no privilege of experiencing. Riding on the coattails…
