The notion offashion is changing; creating an individual style is becoming more thanfollowing fashion. Wardrobes are an expression of personal style and preferencesthat grows over time. Unique combinations reflect an individual’s personalityand values. Personal style involves mixing vintage finds or second-handdesigner pieces with modern references, which not only slows down consumptionbut also adds a touch of nostalgia and personal expression. Combining theseelements allows an outfit to express a mix of references; a wardrobe becomes ajourney through time.
By combiningdifferent pieces of clothing, such as skirts with pants or mixing feminine andmasculine elements, and playing with heavy and lightweight materials, outfitsbecome more complex and intriguing. Layering not only adds warmth and texture,but also makes outfits versatile enough to wear all year round. Blurring thedefinitions of the different categories represents social change by challengingtraditional norms and breaking down stereotypical barriers.
