Italian Fashion

I love clothes. I love classics, avante garde, artsy, retro, and antique clothes. I know that I am the same me, whether in vintage Missoni or something I grabbed off a rack in the market, but I have always found that people respond to me differently based on what I wear, and this also happens when I travel. And I have found that when you have passed the age when people whisper "Sexy! Beautiful! Wow!", you can still make them say, "Elegant!" So, shall we talk shoes?

I live in India and I give thanks all the time that I live in a country where fashion shows are not considered primetime viewing. Sitting in a street side bar is a fashion show here. Gorgeous!

Fashion Designing

Fashion design is the applied art dedicated to the design of clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time. Fashion design differs from costume design due to its core product having a built in obsolescence usually of one to two seasons. A season is defined as either autumn/winter or spring/summer. Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first person to sew their label into the garments that they created. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.

Fashion designers design clothing and accessories. Some high-fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions for the mass market. Designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.
