What
makes one fashion look so good on one person and so bad on another is a product
of a designer's mind.
To
understand fashion with clarity is to have a knowledge of
its construction. If you talk of construction, then there
must be a tool to create the result just as an expert in any
profession has. Fashion designers use fabrics but their tools
are illusion, color, line, scale and form. Varying combinations
of these tools determines what the design will look in various
figures. The designers never mix matches these elements at
random and just hopes for the best. Every finish product is
a carefully created piece of art designed for a specific reason.
Designers
trained their eyes to pick what's good and what's bad. They
observe and always aware of the trend to make them more knowledgeable
on the various ways thier tools can create and to get good
value for their customer's spending dollar.
Illusion
can armor your weak points and stress your
strong points.
Fashion
designers are experts in creating fashion illusion. What we see in fashion magazines
are the exact projection of what these designers have in mind. You can do the
same by applying illusion to benefit your style.
Illusion
is clothing's most important asset. It
can make you look authoritative, powerful, rich, responsible, sophisticated, elegant,
mysterious, fragile, masculine, feminine,etc.
Illusion
lets you specify the
direction you want to be headed; you can wear a lifestyle
you have not; you can look like a top executive or just feel
like one. You can even impersonate someone you know.
Whatever aspect you display often becomes an aspect that will
become stronger and stronger in your life. Whatever you project
through your clothing or the role you portray is the person
you tend to become. Therefore, we have to choose the qualities
we must feature.
Each of us has to discover exactly how clothing can express our needs, desires,
and how our clothing can communicate who we are and what we want. To practice
illusion is to achieve what you desire.
