The Woman In The Mirror

Sitting here thinking of all the things that I could share today, but I won’t bore you with that.

So here starts the first page of many.

Let’s talk about you, the one looking in the mirror. What do you see?

Are you happy with the reflection staring back at you? Does it represent your inner self through what you’ve worn today? If not, what would this image be in your ideal world. Paint the picture, be the one to set the bar up and set the goals, because it is important to be happy, accepting and loving of your reflection (aka yourself). Not just the inner work, but our outer shell as well, one that can impact our confidence, our positive image of ourselves, an absolutely important detail we don’t always think about, or maybe we just throw it out the window because sometimes that too is hard work, and we’re simply getting comfortable with less instead of striving for more. It does not apply to everyone, but generally so to speak.

Bottom line is, our image is always important, and we always strive to represent who we are, even if through the trivial details.

And that pretty much brings me to the fact that, it’s Fashion Month.

We are entering an interesting era if I may say so, or are we simply revisiting the past?

A merger of some sort.

Fashion, our communal way for expressing ourselves.

So what are we expressing this season?

Well, tons.

We are all going through different stages in our lives, connecting to different things, experiencing moments that impact our vision, our inner voice, our outer layer of communication, the things we wear, and how we wear them.

Our much loved designers also go through stages, and I’m seeing a common accent for a certain simplicity and cuts, and those wide wide shoulders they’re so in!

As much as I am absolutely in love with some pieces, I had also fallen short of admiration with some. But it’s ok. Not every seasons can be incredibly out of proportion and shocking, or simply leaving us in awe. Even the creative mind goes through stages to reach those certain peak moments of magnifique.

Here are some of the designers that stood out to me so far this Fashion Month:

AMBUSH – LOEWE – Schiaparelli – Chloe – Alexander MqQueen – Balmain.

Love clothes that make you feel something, provide a story and speak volumes.

What are your favorite collections of the season?
