I liked the fact you started by saying about the inner strength gained from your peers when they donned on the 'cape of power' be it a hat, a robe, it was of great interest to learn about your experiences.... However to brush by so many elements of history of art, design and culture, not mentioning the opulance and stature needed by a few to be shown to the masses, to warrant position, power and intrigue.
I am a royalist and I like to keep our countries heritage of the royal family in high regards and respect its heritage and history, even though there have been dark phases, it has brought us to a time where we are able to question right from wrong, and although history CANNOT be re written of prefabricated it now has a chance to grow with a righteous and healthy opinion and purpose. Helping more whom truly need help.
It is a shame that the frivolity of the fashion world like to down grade the royals, it is unashamedly in poor taste, especially as many see the Royal family as a measure of our stability in a world that is so volatile..
Monarchy and all it stands for does bring a vast amount of wealth to our country, the way our King, (as when he was a Prince) and now, has been manifesting such established colleges, and fine architecture in Cornwall, now had to pass the baton to Prince William, it is in itself a powerful dressing of fashion in the form of bricks and mortar but also in its culture nurturing future trades, and artisan arts and crafts for the future, aswell as offering a good process of sustainable agriculture and local farming, this too is another form of dressing our country in the form of land, trees, foliage, flora and fauna, which in turn offers the ability to make clothing for local future fashion within our towns of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Especially as the heritage, culture, fashion, exquisite cloths of times even before 2000BC in my mind is like a dream so far away.... And our own heritage of royalty spans milleneums, a family being royal encapsulates a world few of us really would like, but the old power of royalty donned on those capes to win battles, fight for freedoms, and encouraged wealth into our building heritage with Royalty Aids, through the ages. They too were aspiring for attention so they could enjoy wealth and high life, enabling a strong future existence of life, for their children and future children...
Times move fast these days, we used to say old news of yesterday were tomorrow's fish and chip wrappings ...(.l must mention we were so eco friendly right there.)
I'd love to hear more about the history, culture of linens, silks, cottons and how it became so famous with the silk road, oplulent times, opulent clothing,.
We all like to be seen at our best, special functions, yet we did also like to dress more, respectfully daily...it has all changed, seeing people in housecoats in the streets... Where has dignity gone?
What I can never quite get to grips with is... I can understand wanting to show how great one looks, but why then show themselves at their worst?
If fashion, top fashion is what we like to see, why isn't it being reflected in the everyday people's world...
At a lighter budget...
Everyday Quality of clothing has downgraded for sure, there now needs to be a force for quality, organic, long lasting materials, no plastic recycled clothing which is harmful to our skins promoting cancers, but organic, sustainable, quality made, garments for beautiful fashion for all to buy at a price which is sensible, fair and have the special pieces for special occasions...
I too went off on many tangents, easily done, with such a huge topic... I think breaking it down into bite size topics will be fun to read, and a rewarding piece of literature, rather than scanning lots of data.
Refining and defining specifics is a great way for the topic of fashion to be expressed over vast historical eras, encapsulating differing cultures.
Climates of varying countries not just its weather, but its social and economical climates have all played a part in the growth of fashion today, and at the front if it all is
😊 what the people admire,
😊 why they admire it, and
😊 how it makes them feel, to be part of their culture, their time, sharing with their friends and family...
Do we conform to fashion, or are we steering the fashion of clothing, to fit our times our changing world.
