Deep Couture: Fashion, More Than Meets The Eye

    Racks of designer shoes, rows of haute couture, boxes of expensive purses, handbags and dazzling accessories of different kinds. This is how we view fashion, the closet of the rich and famous but actually it is very present and  relatable to our everyday life. Fashion is everywhere; it is art, an expression, business, an asset and a teeny tiny bit of fortune telling. 

     Fashion is the art of bringing beauty and sophistication practically out of nothing. Your body is the easel while clothes serve as our paint. You may think that being fashionable is easy and shallow but actually there is more to it than meets the eye; it is far more complex. It has rules, laws and crimes; it requires beauty, charisma, poise and confidence as well. 

    Fashion is very demanding because it requires a lot of effort mixed with crazy ideas, perspiration, passion and inspiration. It is something with depth, for your 1000$ clothing will still look cheap if one does not possess the proper etiquette and attitude to par with it.


   Fashion is also a manifestation on how we humans attest our capacity to change. Trends, styles change through the course of time and we tend to adapt it. Trends can be likened to stock markets, fashion experts predict what’s going to be trending in few years, it works like how stock and marketing analysts do their estimated stock growth.

   Fashion expresses who we are like; our personality, taste and mood at times. It helps us discover and love who we are. Through fashion we will be able to embrace ourselves and nurture our own personal style. 

  We must always remember that fashion is not only for the rich; the truth is we don’t need to spend much to be fashionable; we just need to use our imagination. In making a painting the raw materials usually doesn't matter but it is the beauty that is conceived.
