The fashion I talk about is not the one on the runways, I'm talking the fashion of what normal women wear around the world. Inspiring each other. Wearing what they have, either in personal ways or perhaps in traditional ways, or perhaps they did pay close attention to the latest of the latest of a runway? I do not know, but it is interesting in terms of how people dress around the world. It is interesting how fashion can be a symbol of culture, tradition, personal style, economic status, fashion interest, religion or what ever else you make of it.
Growing up in Norway, I've seen the fashion change season after season. People wearing what they felt like, or following the runway. Traveling and living in other countries, it's not only the fashion that changes, but how it is used that changes between countries.
In the US, living in the Midwest it seemed that hoodies and sweatpants was always in fashion alternating with t-shirts and jeans.
In India I'm not sure how the fashion works really - but it certainly is colourful in every season. Taking the metro, standing in the women's cart, has become one of my favorite things to do. It's colorful and diverse. There are women dressed beautifully in Saris, in Kurta's, in jeans and t-shirts, the lastest of the latest and/or whatever else. Inside the metro cart, I often think to myself that both western, Indian and whatever else type style of dressing is represented and I enjoy it. It certainly is very inspiring if interested in fashion.
Clothing can be a piece of art, and getting dressed can be like painting a picture.
A dear friend of mine, Sara Strand, beautifully puts outfits together in a truly unique and inspiring way. I recommend you check out her blog, and also vote for her, Sara Strand, to become the Fashion Blogger of the year 2011!
