Vogue November 1949
There is so much more to fashion than what meets the eye. You might call that statement ironic or even a contradiction but I call it a fact. Before writing this post I wish I asked various people on the street what word or phrase comes to mind when hearing the word fashion, so I could have an actual statistic. Nevertheless, the foreseeable response by most would be something along the lines of fashion being a superficial industry. To a certain extent I can't blame them because, when put plane and simply, fashion is a visual and external form of expression; however, it truly goes beyond that initial reaction. Over the years, fashion has served as a reflection of the cultural movement specific to a certain decade in history. Fashion is a portal into a different time because it encompasses so much of what daily life was like then. My point is, I guess, I wonder if years from now someone my age will want that vintage “00’s” look. Fashion is cyclical, that's for sure. I just hope that dosen't apply to Ugg boots.
