Faces?

I was flipping through the pages of  Elle  and I came across the photo of a dress. At first glance I thought the dress was pretty but then I saw a face on it. I highly doubt that I am the only person who found this strange. The picture on the dress was beautiful but the two ideas clash. High fashion+beautiful painting might seem like a good idea but in all reality it isn’t. It’s as if you are marketing your look with somebody else’s face, not your own. For example, last year, there was this shirt that was really in. It was white with a black and white picture of a pretty girl wearing oversized shades in front of some high rise buildings. The people who wore it wanted to give the impression that they would wear oversized shade, when in reality, they lacked the confidence to take fashion risks. High fashion is all about you, the dress complements you, and you are part of the look. By having somebody else’s face on your outfit, it gives off a vibe of confusion, insecurity and unfashionably failed wannabe-ism. Who are you really- because the clothes you wear are all about you, made to fit you, look good on you, and accompany you through life.
