So I was checking out some fashion news on Vogue and I discovered this piece about Barbara Hulanicki saying 'Women have boring wardrobes' she continues to talk about how people's style has become so predictable.
If you want to check the article out you can find it //here//
Barbara thinks theres more focus on whats actually fashionable rather than looking at how we put clothes together. Honestly I think Barbara is right here, we seem to be so focused around what's on trend or who's collections just been shown. I think people have forgotten how fun fashion can be, we're constantly taking fashion in and it being judged so I guess we're scared to take as many risks.
Is this why street style is seen as such an interesting topic? Is this why we love people's blogs who make style posts? If something's different and stands out we're drawn to it so is Barbara highlighting how these vary basic ideas are emphasised because the norm is so boring.
She also says "it's very difficult to know what to wear now. That's why I always wear black", does this mean ideas such as style manifestos need to something we all adapt to. Like women of the past such as Schiaparelli who lived by a manifesto is Barbara highlighting there's a need for more personal considered style choices and rules?
