A REVIEW AND OPINIONS BY CEREN BINGOL
I am surprised by fashion nowadays. The recession inspired summer and fall fashions were mostly disposable, do it yourself styles. In the spirit of recession, sustainability, intelligent finances management, shouldn't it have been timeless classics which you are meant to invest in once and keep forever? But then again, would that have been too much depth for fashion - an industry whose concept is rooted in the superficial?
I don't use the word superficial in a degrading way. Superficial - meaning that which is regarding the surface - is a pretty thorough, straight forward, no games, no pretense type of notion. the opposite of layered complexity, flesh, depth. Hence, fashion, that which you wear on the outside, on top of the skin, without depth, without flesh is more about the surface meaning, the immediacy of the term "recession" than the layered implications of it.
While not timeless classics, sustainability or puritan values (thank god as i find the latter to be boring to death; and god knows how many of you out there i have already offended), what is in the summer and fall 2009 are do-it-yourself friendly styles. These are some of the details i found on style.com which you might see me sporting hopefully sooner than later before the recession ends.
