Cum port paietele

Cum port paietele

Mai mult ca sigur unii vor comenta ca sacoul acesta de paiete nu ar trebui niciodata purtat cu un hanorac casual – sport. Dar asta e felul meu de a purta pretiosul material cu aplicatii, aproape de fiecare data in combinatie cu elemente casual ori chiar sport.

EN: I am certain that some will comment that this sequin blazer should never be worn with a sport- casual hoodie. But this is my way of wearing the precious fabric with appliques, almost every time in combination with casual or even sporty elements.

Nu e gresita nici abordarea aceasta, nici cea clasica, pentru o tinuta eleganta de seara. Nu mai e nimic gresit in moda, daca proportiile sunt corecte si daca rezultatul final te reprezinta si e sustinut de atitudinea potrivita. Si in general nu cred ca ar trebui sa ne fie teama ca gresim, cand vine vorba de felul in care ne imbracam, caci din incercarile noastre nu moare nimic. Cred ca e esential sa ai umor. In felul acesta obtii si mixuri interesante, dar te si salvezi de reactiile nepotrivite ale celor din jur. Pentru ca nu stiu cum percepeti voi lucrurile, dar de cand cu revistele de scandal, cu rubricile de “Bine – Prost Imbracate”, de cand cu emisiunile de “stil” si “expertii” care isi exprima parerile numai in termeni vulgari, in speranta ca vor face raiting, vor fi laudati si chemati si a doua oara, oricine – dar ORICINE – iti poate spune “Te-ai imbracat horror”, “Arati jalnic”, “Ce naspa iti sta”, “Ce a fost in capul tau sa pui chestia aia pe tine”… si alte reactii care depasesc – din punctul meu de vedere – limita bunului simt. Nu spun ca nu iti poti spune parerea. Dar mai conteaza si cum o faci. Ba chiar si cand o faci. Adica eu, chiar si cu o diploma in domeniul modei, tot nu imi dau cu parerea vizavi de cum a ales sa se imbrace cineva, decat daca persoana imi cere in mod explicit asta. Iar atunci, parerea mea nu isi propune sa jigneasca pe nimeni. Nimeni nu ar trebui sa isi permita sa jigneasca un alt om pe astfel de criterii estetice, indiferent de pregatirea pe care o are. Da, pot – daca mi se cere – sa ofer o alternativa, o propunere stilistica si atat. Oricum nu e un adevar absolut. Am pornit aceste randuri de la premiza ca mari greseli in moda oricum nu exista. De la paiete, blugi, rochii si pana la jigniri e cale lunga. De ce ai face-o?! Atat de multa lume vrea sa vorbeasca despre ce e “urat”, “naspa”, “ingrozitor”, in loc sa scoata in evidenta ce e “frumos”, “inspirational”, “inovator”, “interesant”. Repet, cred ca toata aceasta “moda” de a lasa comentarii vulgare, jignitoare, grosolane despre cum alege o persoana sa se imbrace, sa se macheze, sa se coafeze, a fost influentata de anumite formate de televiziune sau de anumite publicatii, de la noi si de peste tot in lume. Nu trebuie sa fii blogger, vedeta tv ori actor. Poti avea o meserie care sa nu aiba nicio legatura cu expunerea de acest gen si tot sa te fi lovit pe pagina de Facebook sau Instagram de un astfel de comentariu. Ce ziceti? Ati intalnit “experti de stil” si in vietile voastre?

P.S.: Acum imi dau seama ca “expertii” in moda din mediul online seamana de multe ori cu “expertii” in multitudinea de sporturi de performanta. Repet, umorul e salvator.

In poze port: sacou Manoush, hanorac & Other Stories, pantaloni Michael Kors, ochelari Burberry, gentuta mea de farduri cu care merg deseori la spectacole sau sedinte foto de la Givenchy, bocanci (care m-au salvat iarna asta) de la Zara. Iar tinuta in miscare…

EN: Neither this approach, nor the classical one, for an elegant evening outfit is wrong. Nothing is wrong in fashion anymore, as long as the proportions are right and the final result represents you and is supported by the proper attitude. And in general, I don’t think we should be afraid to be wrong, when it comes to the way we dress, because no one dies in the process. I think it’s essential to have a sense of humor. In this manner you get interesting mixes, but you also save yourself from the inappropriate reactions of those around you. Because I don’t know how you perceive things, but ever since tabloids, with the “Good- bad dressed” articles, ever since the “style” tv shows and the “experts” who give out their opinions in vulgar terms, hoping they’ll get higher rating, be praised and invited back a second time, everyone- really EVERYONE- can say to you “You dressed horribly”, “You look pathetic”, “This really sucks on you”, “What were you thinking when you put that thing on”… and other reactions which go beyond common sense if you ask me. I’m not saying you can’t say your opinion.  But it also matters how you do it. It even matters when you do it. I for instance, even with a diploma in the fashion area, don’t give out my opinions on how someone chose to get dresses, unless that person explicitly asks for it. And then, my opinion isn’t set on offending anyone. No one should be allowed to offend someone else on such esthetical criteria, no matter their education.  Yes, I can- if I am asked to- to give an alternative, a stylistic proposition and that’s it. Anyway there isn’t one absolute truth. I started these lines thinking there really aren’t any huge mistakes in fashion. From sequins, jeans, dresses and offending there is a long way. Why would you do it?! So many people want to talk about what’s “ugly”, “nasty”, “awful”, instead of highlighting what is “beautiful”, “inspirational”, “innovative”, “interesting”. I repeat, I think all this “fashion” with leaving vulgar, offensive, rude comments about how a person chooses to dress, wear make-up, do their hair, has been influenced by some tv shows or tabloids, from here and all over the world. You don’t have to be a blogger, TV star or actor. You can have a profession which has nothing to do with this kind of exposure and you still get hit by such a comment on your Facebook or Instagram page. What do you think? Have you come across such “style experts” in your lives too?

P.S.: I now realize that the online fashion “experts” are very much alike to the “experts” on various professional sports. I repeat, humor can save us.

In the pictures I am wearing: Manoush blazer, & Other Stories hoodie, Michael Kors pants, Burberry glasses, my Givenchy make up bag which I often take along to the theatre or to photo shootings, Zara boots (which have saved me this winter).
