Did anybody attend the spring/summer 08 fashion show.

I was there, a stunning performance from al the models.
This seasons scheme seems to stick to a polka dot theme, very bright but not overly crowded clothing.

Also they have opted for the vintage goldmine look. Denim is back I do believe.

It's on the website somewhere.

CHANEL

I love how idiotic fashion is. Seriously, I'll never follow that stuff because It seems like a waste of time. Sure looking nice, and dressing respectably is of utmost importance, especially in the business world we have all created over the past few centuries. Also i understand its importance in everyday law of attraction between male and female, and not to mention male/male, etc. But having people say "Oh, we're now entering the polka dot era, because we say it.. thats what it is." Like, why don't they just take away our individuality altogether? A person's clothing can symbolize who they are. (My friend for one loves to wear Tye-Dye shirts, and she is probably one of the most amazing persons' I know. And as friendly as anyone can come, with an edge of realism to her.. who'd expect a hippie to be a realist)

That aside no offense to people who are die-hard fashionistas or whatever you want to call them, cause of course its a hobby. But there comes a time where they should be labeled extremists.. just like these "sacrificial cults", Scientology, Sects Christianity, Sects of Wicca, Voodoo. I have no problem setting this into correlation with such religions. I view it as a modern day religious melting pot religion, that people aren't even aware they are in. (And sure this goes for other things too, for example, Video gamers.)For example, how Canada and United States of America are a melting pot for a million different cultures. ... just gotta draw the line somewhere before our individuality is demolished, or shattered into so many pieces we can no longer put it back together.

You have to admit, there are similarities between "The Good News of the Lord " (Catholic Rite during Mass which is attended on the Sabbath, for non-catholics), And
"Denim is now the in thing this year"

I understand people will get offended and try to meld my way of thinking which I will read and try to understand where people are coming from, hopefully trying to defend my thought process on the subject which Note, I did mention wasn't entirley a bad thing. I do hope some light can be shed on the situation, I try to keep an open mind with everything I read and want to come to understand these things. I just see it as a way of taking control of the general public. I'm not one to generate public and private conspiracy thoughts, but it would be a fascinating way to do it. (Thats not really the point, I'm just ranting now ahaha) sorry guys.. please I want some constructive critism.

Everyone follows fashion subconciously.

Sure looking nice, and dressing respectably is of utmost importance, especially in the business world we have all created over the past few centuries. Also i understand its importance in everyday law of attraction between male and female, and not to mention male/male, etc.

It is, a person is distinguishable within 8 seconds of meeting them. After those 8 seconds, that first image will be imprinted on that persons mind. Good fashion can create a good impression in those crucial seconds.

But having people say "Oh, we're now entering the polka dot era, because we say it.. thats what it is." Like, why don't they just take away our individuality altogether?

It doesn't take away our individuality. People dress in those clothes if they suit them. Eg. Topman. I hate that shop, but obviously everyone else loves it so much they all buy the same clothing. There must be some attraction to the clothing, whether it's genuine love for the item or trying to fit in with everyone else.

And ew, Polkadot is like 2004.

A person's clothing can symbolize who they are. (My friend for one loves to wear Tye-Dye shirts, and she is probably one of the most amazing persons' I know. And as friendly as anyone can come, with an edge of realism to her.. who'd expect a hippie to be a realist)

Then that is her own fashion. But as everyone knows, fashion comes in and out. Everyone uses it to an extent as I said in th above point. But it's not to say that a person cannot personalise fashion. Fashion isn't law, its more like guidelines of colour schemes and designs.

But there comes a time where they should be labeled extremists..

Fashon should never be labelled extremity. Fashion is nor extreme nor is it dull in a certain context. It depends whom the viewer is and what he thinks of the piece.

"Denim is now the in thing this year"

Totally is. Dungarees

I just see it as a way of taking control of the general public. I'm not one to generate public and private conspiracy thoughts, but it would be a fascinating way to do it.

I see quite the contrary! Fashion brings people together, to share intrests and thought and create an 'image' for everyone to enjoy. Surely that doesn't seperate the designers from the suvillians!

Thats a hobby, I stated that. All hobbies bring people together, to some extent, even some of the more fanatic ones such as "Serial Killing" we've all heard about accomplices.

But there comes a time where they should be labeled extremists..


I suppose I mis-wrote that, figuring people would interpret the way I did. "Time" meaning there are people out there who can be labeled extremists, there are quite a few of them out there, and is just as entailing as any religious organization that demands money for satisfactory. In this case its not entirely faith.

It doesn't take away our individuality. People dress in those clothes if they suit them. Eg. Topman. I hate that shop, but obviously everyone else loves it so much they all buy the same clothing. There must be some attraction to the clothing, whether it's genuine love for the item or trying to fit in with everyone else.

I understand part of that, no problem, the Top man part, but thats just like a modern day ritual. However there are a lot of people that give up a lot of their life to become "beautiful" leaving behind what they were. Sometimes its for the better, but their bodies can't handle it (mentally of course). Therefore it is taking away from their individuality. .

Also for your first two statements you are right, however the 8 second thing, changes upon meeting someone, appearance is NOT everything. Though it does play a very important role as I stated. Also I don't like the word "crucial" being used there because there is no context, no situation is occurring. Personally I assumed 'Relationships' I figured that was a fair assumption. And in this category I wouldn't say its Crucial, which leads us to your first statement. You dress to attract, its a sub-conscious thing, good chances are if that person isn't attracted to the way you dress, you didn't want to be with them anyways. It wouldn't have worked out in the long run. And if it is suppose to work then those two people can over-come something as foolish as apparel (in this context)

Last thing, you obviously mis-understood the first point I laid out, and you quoted. I didn't mean sub-consciously because we all know that is evident. If you were to buy a shirt you are attracted to a shirt that you think will suit you, or that you like. I meant it to be more of a conscious thing, being aware that "You can't buy that shirt, even though you like it, because a clothing line doesn't approve of it for this season"
Also mere logic comes into play too for example why would you buy shorts in -20 degree weather, unless it were for some indoor activities.
