Inspired By Fashion Week

Today's outfit is a Re-Run of a sneak peek u all would have seen,during Fashion week days. Its finally making it to the blog , yes thank god .

For most of us who make it to the lavishness of the fashion week with its own dress codes and haunts, its a fantasy on the runway,while the others gaped their phones and their favourite fashion people live streamed pictures on Instagram. Fashion show days have a different kind of vibe. 

Taking the leverage of these events, we common mortals(btw you can easily identify these people at fashion week) fingers tapping on phone, slowly strolling the venue, eye contact minimal, sipping tea and in between pointing phones at a mirror for pictures to cover on the blog.Basically Low profile that is. 

While there are those flaunting their guccis in the face, air-kissing with designers , talking as loud as they could with a verbal fashion diarrhea and  some slangs which I don't understand, a walk which would put a shame to any online couture queen, papped by new interns(you would find them  on second row and how ?) who specifically stalked these self -acclaimed diva(s) on Instagram only to the day where they could bolster their online validation and rub a few goody bags in the face of their deprived friends boasting about their fashion connections. 

I know for a fact that fashion has a hierarchy. The influencers like editorials wears anything which speak more directional pieces, buyers -more of commercial dressing , while its the bloggers who care about creative  and original design  and  good craftsmanship. 

They explore,  translate runway fashion to convertible fashion(budget it too , if need be) for a thousands of those who doesn't know how it's done. To me, they are the actual influencers who pay attention to designers collection and then closely create items heavily influenced by or have similar elements and manage to stay on "Point " And its when they actually irrigate the garden of Self-Made. 

So all my lovely bloggers out there- Just  believe in your HYPE, keep doing the awesome work you do coz  REAL-ITY is made up of being  Real, and you all are the only ones having that.

P.S- This is just a rant, an observation, and doesn't mean to hurt anyone's emotional balance. Take it in good humour .

Inspired By Retro

I grew up listening to George Michael and  UB 40 and rummaging through thrift stores bins. I was a case of constant stream of curious rebel back in my college days.My style was derivative from my choice of music back then.It went on from unique and bizarre to Hip hop. Clearly I had many moods of dressing up, and Armageddon of them all was music.

Last month I received Sudio Sweden Ear phones. I woke up in the morning,combined all factors, weather, mood,picked into the radio station, and synced into the 80s playlist, and suddenly the rock n roll kicked my courage for more liner,and then I remembered My Dad doing a Denim on denim with flared bottoms when I was back in school. He used to wear big black  thickly rimmed squarish glasses too. Of course the Bandana is my quick style rendition to what is distinctively me and only me.

In a world where the quest for latest is the greatest, is all consuming,this retro fever look can be an anomaly. In my case Music has succeeded  in creating some cults, and this look being one of them. I am actually living a fashion moment which belonged to the past. I didn't even have to search today's fashionistas on Pinterest to hand me a sartorial cue. Its like I wanted to re-live a theme I already had in mind.

The credits for this Inspiration goes to my Dad, and in a way its a small tribute to him since Father's day is just around .
