Dress Me...(11/1)

a few thoughts about our basic needs...
My friend talks about dressing code. She is right. People judge your ability and profession according to what you dress...It's the appearance instead of the content inside you that determines your value and social status, well, at least this is partially true when you encounter a person for the first glance. True, packaging seems very important, and what you dress and present would definitely configure how people look at you. A miserable world.
Fashion is a stream of arts that I love a lot. Have a look of one of the graphics for the coming Prêt-a-Porter show in Paris, there is a row of silhouettes that demonstrates something about the beauty of fashion. An interesting contrast to the realistic world perhaps. Things look sexier in the world of imagination than the reality.
Chic and glamorous, and since long ago, Paris is the capital of fashion. There is no doubt about the claim. I think it is always a kind of enjoyment walking and watching on the street in the capital.
Musee d'art decoratif next to the Louvre is one of the museums in Paris that worth a visit. There is always an exhibition on subject related to fashion and clothing. The collection and the design for the two exhibitions I visited in 2005 are both fantastic. The correlation of pragmatism and aesthetic element are balanced and respected. The history of fashion is often romantic. The spirit to dress well has for long time been creating a room for designers to imagine and execute. People talk about mix-and-match or crossover. Trend is always retrospective. Like other contemporary arts and technology development, the 'rampant change' of the mankind in the last demi-century did push people to a acute position that a temporary pause to review never come into place. This explains why the hype is always retrospective now. On the one hand, people need a nostalgic sensation to the recent past. In addition, sustainable creation and innovation can never go forward with any stage of consolidation to my view.
A question for everyday, 'what should we wear today?'
