HOW I FOUND MY FASHION STYLE

 What comes to mind at first is; what is Fashion, Style and then the million dollar question who Am I? that will ultimately give you the answer to today’s topic which I hope will/ might be helpful to knowing what’s the name of you style et cetera et cetera…

Most people or some people I’ve come across do admit that they give little or no shit about fashion or their style, that they simply don’t care about Fashion, but then you stop and think do they walk naked? don’t they have a certain taste in music, food, behavior, amongst other social aspects of man? 

Man is a social being hence there’s the need to belong, one way or another we tend to strive to belong to certain practices, groups or behaviors. This doesn’t leave clothing out of the picture its a way of life hence fashion comes to picture, just like music genre, we have different fashion trends and fashion styles; which I will talk about another day. Surprisingly we all have somewhere we belong to if not at all.😊😊

To begin with: Fashion is all about dressing according to what’s fashionable😂😂as in its a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair decoration, or behavior name it. As for style it is more about you being yourself as Oscar de la Renta puts it; style is owned by one self its uniquely yours, and you choose what to take or not to. 

We then narrow down to defining ‘yourself” who are you, what are your values and principles, what you do and whom are your associates and what trends tend to excite you. These are a few questions that might help get you there. We all have a niche which we tend to belong to if not at all subscribe to it fully.

How would I precisely describe my style? It’s adventurous and natural. I am madly in love with Bohomenia, African and Vintage style; I prescribe to unique, classy and timeless fashion trends😊. Let me take you through how I come to this conclusion;(i) I am an artist who is madly in love with culture and print patterns, all prints from animal prints to floral to striped to polar dots, name them I especially love versace for its print, the vintage prints this is such a general one though. Vintage keeps me at par with history😂😁at least that’s what I feel, its classy and timeless, this itself promotes creativity while originality is maintained. A close ally of this, is the Retro-vintage often confused with vintage. I’m a printmaker and I look forward to expanding in this area.

Culture thrills me especially African art.(ii)My friends influence my fashion style I wont even lie😂😂 I would fondly term it as positive, its the right influence, that’s valuable for instance Madore and Abby’s love for African style drew my attention more into African culture especially the Music, take for instance I never had a liking for afro pop music till I met them. My big sis also a huge fun of African Arts and style.

For Bohomenia style its inspired by the lifestyle of free and hippies of the 1960’s and 1970′: the aesthetic and festival culture. It incorporates earth tones, natural fabric especially woven items and dye. Nature is our sustaining factor therefore it goes without question I love nature and this style is one which connects me to nature.

As stated earlier we all have a niche we belong to and we might find ourselves in more than two, but we don’t have to fully subscribe to a particular style, we incorporate what we want to a style, this is creativity; we simply choose what we will take and not to, this is what brings uniqueness😊in our style but never shy away from going out of your comfort once or twice its healthy!

To conclude this article, I believe in individuality do you at all cost, if you are feeling good then who cares! lol. Hope it helped.💋
