Looking through the majority of the
collections this season, it seems like many designers are making sure their attires are youthful, cool and sexy. Are these elements required for a
brand to be relevant? It really bothers me because I am starting to feel
fashion may have lost it. What happened to elegance and power dressing? Clothes should make a woman
to feel empowered and not an object of sexuality and lust?
Why is "cool" so hyped? Why do clothes have to be young and sexy to be
smiled upon?
I think too much focus
on the red carpet and celeb style
and not enough focus on real women
and real life cause this. And that the looks girls and young women favor are
awful and elegance is the furthest
trait from their goals. But, when you're young, you're very much influenced by
what you see in the media, and sadly, there aren't any elegant young ladies as inspirations for these girls.
Few
also think the sense of youth and sexiness will always be a dominating feeling
in high fashion. It’s just easier to
market. It's much easier to style a young
girl to look older, more mature, even matronly and still look acceptable
than to style an older model to look like she's sixteen. And older women and
men know this.
I
keep in mind wanting to be elegant when I was young. There are a number of famous examples of
elegant young women, but in general
I think it's difficult to be both quite young and elegant. I find elegance to
be one of the rewards of age.
I'm all for being young at heart, but
let's be real.....!
