“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – Franklin D. Either way, that girl is showing everyone what’s important to her, and that can be a conversation kickstarter, both on social media and offline.Ģ6. She’s changing her outward identity, whether for herself or to spite her ex. Now, just to prove that she’s her own woman, she posts a #TransformationTuesday picture of her with a bob hairstyle. Her now ex-boyfriend may have told her to never cut her hair because he likes it long. For example, a girl with long hair who suddenly cuts it short may have just been through a breakup. We alter our bodies to make a point and prove how important something is to us and show with what ideals we wish to align ourselves. The physical manifestations of identity exist beyond what we wear. How much more, then, is this true of tattoos? What about getting your hair dyed like your favorite singer’s? Or maybe getting a piercing to show what an adult you are? It seems like there’s a girl on my Instagram feed chopping off massive amounts of her hair with the caption, “New hair, new me!” every other week. Despite how much fashion deals with the surface, it's the effect it has on the way you feel as opposed to the way you look that makes it so amazing in my opinion. There's something about feeling your best that brings out a confidence in you that you didn't realize you had. As for what fashion is, besides being an extension of personality, or a mood, or a way of expressing inner creativity, it's also a kind of mask fashion provides a sort of transformative quality, the effect that an item of clothing can have on the way people see you and the way you might see yourself is inherently profound. You can't always appreciate that journey from one thing to the next in other art forms it's usually only in hindsight that you can see it. I love that you can look at one designer's work within a given period of time and see the change, whether it's blatant and revolutionary or subtle and evolutionary. That ability to change, to constantly renew itself is probably what makes fashion so intriguing to me. At its best, it burns brightly and quickly and can never be duplicated. Unlike any other art form, the beauty that is often created in fashion is incredibly short lived, it's a moment.
But there's also that part of fashion that seeks to challenge social norms of beauty it wants to change the collective eye and propose new ideas of what beauty can be. There's something incredibly idealistic about fashion in the sense that it visualizes things in the best possible light. Fashion is one of the art forms that allows people of all genders, races, sizes, backgrounds, walks of life to feel good about themselves and allows them to look their best. There is the undeniable fact that fashion makes life more beautiful than it truly is, by making people look and/or feel more beautiful than they otherwise might.
