In fashion, there are so many game-changers, trendsetters, season-followers, and ardent fashionistas, that it has become, both necessary and mandatory, to reconsider the standards by which one had previously viewed style. A great deal of the change spun from the expansion of the industry in itself, as well as a shift in the way people dressed themselves, and ultimately chose to dress others, through their judgement of an outfit on another. It's very rare that there can ever be split opinion between a collection, because design has become so decentralized, that drawing such comparisons is like attempting to spot the differences between heaven and hell. The change is not unprecedented. Further, the change creates the oftentimes attempt to draw a binary between elements of style, and the quintessential definition of fashionable, per se.

Example of effortless, well put together, and clean-looking outfit, clean in the sense of
light, tan, diaphanous, but nonetheless riddled with allure and class. |
Vintage for example, resurfaces back in 2006 when people just stopped wearing platform heels, white-long-coats, customary of short haired creative directors, called Meade or something expensive. Vintage introduced a manner by one live in the past, without being seen as primitive or old-fashioned. It was a statement, moreover, of how the cosmopolitan and modern woman or man could make something outdated fit in. A personal and individual feat, I'd aver, as not everyone could manage to create such an aura of maintenance and equal sophistication about themselves.

Style merges from the somewhat subconscious drive, to keep the exterior as well sought after as the interior; a reflection of the personality, thus making it very likely that people could actually tell a lot about you, not based on what you wore, but how and when you wore it, and also to where. Because I think that someone who has risen above, dressing to be in-season or wear what is popular, will comprehend something very not seasonal could through personalized technique actually achieve what it had been ripped away from. I'm not saying there's a way by which a wedding dress could be donned to a tea party, I'm just alluding to the idea that style is interchangeable, and how you wear something, in attitude and on your body, largely influences the determinants by which it is either accepted or ousted.

This is evident in how era after era, we've pinned different poster-girls to our doors, mesmerized by their high-fashion- today something Marilyn Monroe or Sofia Lauren wore back in the heyday won't be worn to the Globes, but in some campaign to retrace or recapture that era, usually in a campaign, and no one would be caught dead today wearing the bright blue spaghetti tops, and spice girl heeled platforms today, even if in 1998 to 2000 they were besotted by the fad, exacerbated by teen queens Aguilera, Brandy and Spears, who made those nothing-fabulous garments look like neon haute cautier.
Elements of modernity have reached astronomical levels of difference, and designers are leaning towards creating clothing that only dresses, but speaks on behalf of the body that boasts it, that is why it's very important that you know your body type and personal style, so as not to ever make the wrong statement, thinking that you're saying something else. It's like when language translation can't be literally translated and is just taken for something else entirely. You could very much wind up being the one person in the world, who single-handedly caused what had been a designers epitome of beauty, to uglify in your lack of personal style and understanding of yourself. Letting the outfit wear you is not a good idea, unless you're not going to be seen or you're an apartment window.
Dignity and a want, not unnaturally cultivated, to mark your appearance with precision, altogether make you conducive to being perceived as a style icon.

| Kim's most loved type of dress, long or short. |
You don't ever become a self-professed style icon. Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of
Vogue hasn't even been deemed one, despite her array of transitional fashion apparel and carefully selected accessories, each reminiscent of her poise in the fashion world, whereas someone like Kimora Lee Simons has cemented into such a polythetic cateory of fashion commentary. Although personally, K L Simons, like Kim Kardashian, despite never wearing the same outfits, always manage to make it seem as if they are: figure-hugging dresses, statement-shoulder blazers and blinding jewels are customary enough to make them predictable. Fashionistas aren't predictable, but that does not mean that they don't know how to dress well.
I find that anything looks more alluring and stellar on someone when it was done effortlessly, and the attempt to make that statement, didn't take more time than it did, for Joan Rivers to stretch out of bed. In Hollywood, and the other prominent fashion capitals of the world, namely Milan, Paris, and New York, style has intensified to a point, where there's no real competition between two well-dressed people's outfits, but rather as aforementioned, how well it was worn.

it would otherwise have looked odd, or different,
but Ms. Kardashian manages to make it look like
what everyone should all be wearing anyway. |
Believe someone with a godly body and natural beauty like Heidi Klum could make a straight-off-the-runway resort piece look like an H&M piece of fabric that would startle even someone as poorly dressed as Boy George or Courtney-Love, and y'all know it ain't get worse than that blotched up, mascara-stained, vodka-drinking hoe, whose toenails are longer than the industrial revolution ever wished it could be. Some people are like architectural structures- forced to be satisfied as they make themselves comfortable to what they've been shrouded in, namely those people whose outfits are always Tiffany's idea really, or borrowed from Cassandra mediocre closet of dreary and sleep-inducing pieces, that Jesus would have given his disciples to wear; convenience kind of apparel, nauseating and disgusting, unless its Tuesday and your ass 'gon be locked in, for your eyes only.
