Notes

Love this Q and my answer is noooo ๐Ÿ™ƒ When people say this re: fashion (and beauty too) I think they really mean something along the lines of โ€œIโ€™m dressing about myself.โ€ But if we position fashion/beauty as a form of expression and communication, it must inherently involve an other โ€” someone or something we are communicating to, and a reason beyond the self that weโ€™re communicating for. This isnโ€™t a bad thing! Communicating with other people via aesthetics is normal and human and has been happening since the dawn of time!! Ugh lol I reallyyyyy hate this modern/Western view that everything we do should be purely individually motivated and 100% about the person as an individual. Weโ€™re communal creatures! Fashion/beauty is a communal/communicative pursuit! So yeah generally I think we adorn our bodies about ourselves but for others. Canโ€™t wait to read what youโ€™re working on ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
