Dress to impress

in all finery:  clothed in opulent fabric

is a multi-sensory sensation

at one point in time, only to be experienced by those of the ruling classes

and reserved for special/important occasions.

 

…

Throughout history,

various societies have enacted sumptuary laws

which were regulations designed to control what people wore

and in some instances what they did-

in terms of demonstration of wealth.

These laws kept ‘fashion and dress in check’ ,

as means to identify an individual’s socio-economic station

by clothing worn.

…

During the medieval era in Europe,

sumptuary codes prevented any attempt of elevation in status through dress.

The nobility projected their rank by ostentatious attire worn and

prohibited the rising middle class

from dressing above an imposed societal station.

…

Conspicuous consumption was controlled by law

which allowed only a set few to wear luxury items.

Today dressing in extravagant clothing of

 

exquisite fabrication

intricate workmanship

elaborate details

 

is a daily event of being robed in attire fit for royalty

or seemingly so-

how wonderfully ‘sumptuous’ is that?

To indulge in coordinating an outfit

solely in a particular colour and its shade variants,

wearing little if any other hue

in a head – to – toe single colour bias

is to ‘colour commit’.

…

Monochrome-wear is a visual treat:

an exploration of a single colour

and its light / dark tonal qualities.

…

For added sensory depth and textural impact,

fabric mix a colour commit dress statement.

…

Ready.  Set.   Colour Commit:

Choose a single colour for a single outfit.

Wear it in mix fabrication (leather, wool, cotton, silk, etc.)

Stick to it from h to t (head to toe) all in one go!

…

Suede

is a type of leather with a napped (raised, fuzzy) surface.

Traits of  thinness and suppleness allows for its versatility as

clothing fabrication.

Once traditionally used as

material for attire worn during the cooler clime,

suede is now applied as fabric for all seasons.

…

It is textural.

It can be  dyed to yield a full range of fashion fun colours.

It can be constructed into all types of core clothing pieces:

trousers, tops, skirts, coats, jackets.

It is a fashion fabrication perennial:  suitable wear for all seasons.

…

For 2015 and beyond

for spring warmth to winter chill wear-

the suede scene has become fashion wardrobe de rigueur

featuring creative colour and singular silhouette.

A pink colour story for autumn / winter 2015

18 Tuesday Aug 2015

autumn/winter 2015, history of colour pink, menswear, on the runway, pink as statement colour, womenswear

 

In the pink

Beauty, sensitivity, romance, gentleness, delicacy-

are but a few words in the contemporary lexicon

ascribable to the colour pink.

Yet, there there are a few variants to the

“pink colour word history”.

 

…

Reference to a colour pink is traceable to ancient times

and certainly pink as a vibrant pigment colour,

(a blending of red and white)

was much used in religious painting

during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

…

Consider the use of pink pigment on manuscript leaves from

by famed 15th century Dutch minaturist painters

The Limbourg Bothers –

Adoration of the Magi

from Belles Heures du Jean Duc de Berry

In the pink:

focal Magi’s garment

pink, renaissance painting, tres riches heures

…

St. Catherine Bound to Column

from Belles Heures du Jean Duc de Berry (1408)

In the pink:

God’s shirt, on-lookers cap, executioner’s cloak

pink, Renaissance, tres riches heures, man in pink robe, oberlin.edu week11-0068

(images from acro-iris.com and oberlin.edu)

 

…

By the late 17th century, “pink”  as a colour word

was utilised in the English language.

It’s derivation stems from

the name of the Dutch flower “pinken”.

 

 

…

Yet,  it is the strong gender alignment of the colour,

which is of particular interest.

Originally in European culture

pink was more regarded as a masculine colour

due to its hue relationship with the “murderous”  colour red.

Whereas blue was thought of as a colour more relatable to women as

it is the traditional colour worn by the Virgin Mary in artworks of her “likeness”.

 

…

By the mid 20th century, the colour gender alignment

had shifted with pink most strongly identified with women and

blue most connected with men.

The evolution of pink as colour statement continues.

Today it seems more a colour of gender neutrality.

 

…

Pink is also a colour charged by political affiliation.

It has come to be widely used as word reference to

leftist / communist leanings.

In current vernacular, Latin American countries with

leftist political heads of state are known as the “Pink Tide”  nations.

…

An emotive colour with a fascinating history trail

pink is set to be an impact colour for autumn / winter 2015.

Ciao ragazzi! Favlook – Lookfav Focus: It’s summer suiting for the gents as presented off – runway at Pitti Uomo – s/s 2016

Established in September 1972

Pitti Uomo

is a biannual, trade show event on contemporary menswear fashion.

Held in Florence, Italy

over the course of four days-

Pitti Uomo is a ‘must attend’ on the fashion circuit calendar.

 

It is a stage to present men’s clothing/accessory collections

to an anticipatory international audience

of industry professionals and aficionados.

 

…

Yet, as expected-

the on – runway events for this year’s  menswear,   s / s  2016  presentations

(16 – 19 June 2015)

were rivalled by the off – runway fashion parade of

street style sass sartorial statements.

(Now saw that five times without becoming tongue tied!)

…

Summer suiting seemed the definitive dress directive-

the look elevated by eye-catching accessories:

 

pocket kerchiefs and scarves of prints / colours

smart footwear

weaved straw hats

stacked bracelets

small clutches and oversized carriers

swank sunnies

 

all wonderfully enhanced by the essential element of

sprezzatura –

the Italian dress sense of

effortless, elegant, confidant style .

 

…
