To you, the cherished ones who've journeyed with me since my early days, “Everything is Fashion” may strike a familiar chord. We have, indeed, gone down this path before. But, with the rise of new voices in our community, I've been inspired to revisit this narrative. It's not just for those who might have missed its previous rendition, but also for the profound transformative essence it carries. This topic, I believe, has the potential to alter our perceptions of our surroundings and ourselves, not only our understanding of the vast realm of fashion.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not your go-to person for details of garment creation. I may not have a deep understanding of the processes involved in its crafting. Yet, I will always emphasize that fashion is mistakenly narrowed to just clothing. It's a vast tapestry woven into our daily lives.
We're about to embark on a conversation that goes beyond style and aesthetics. This conversation, in my opinion, is for anyone who desires to delve deeper into the nuances of our human experience as articulated through our diverse choices.
In the forthcoming passages, you'll encounter my perspective on why I deeply believe that everything in this world is, quite literally, fashion. These are manifestations of my worldview. But, as with any story, there are more perspectives, and I'm genuinely eager to understand yours, especially once you've familiarized yourself with mine.
So, whether you're a long-time follower or a newfound reader, I warmly invite you to dive into the depths of my beliefs about why I see everything as fashion.
Fashion, I believe, has always been at the heart of human evolution and cultural progression. It's an ever-present force that has guided us through centuries, dictated norms, and mirrored societal changes. The innate human desire to communicate has always found its voice in fashion. Fashion is a language we all speak, bypassing the need for words or vocal expression.
This is best depicted by our shared history. The Ancient Egyptians used their gold and lapis lazuli jewelry for more than just decoration. They were powerful representations of power, wealth, and divine connection. Every piece told a story about their faith in the afterlife, gods, and the cosmos. Similarly, the Geishas of Japan with their meticulously chosen kimonos and methodical face paint didn't just present beauty; they wore their art, commitment, and dedication. Their clothing expressed discipline, status, and a lifetime spent perfecting an ancient tradition.
People used to recognize fashion for what it is. However, somewhere along the way, our understanding of fashion narrowed. We began to associate it primarily with garments. But, as our forefathers pointed out, isn't fashion more profound? Fashion is an essence. It embodies the spirit of an era, a reflection of our innermost selves, and a manifestation of our hopes and dreams. Our affiliations, position in society, passions, and so much more are all articulated through fashion.
To better understand this, consider why we wear fashion. The most obvious reason is to provide protection from the elements. However, if we look beyond the practical, we can see clothing as a canvas for our identity. It is not random to choose a black T-shirt over a red one, or a leather jacket over a woolen coat. It's a message, whether conscious or otherwise. Our garments have become our armor. Much like knights of old, we don't dress merely for protection; we dress to proclaim our identity. Our clothing becomes a statement, a flag that showcases who we are and what we believe in.
Now, recognizing that one of the primary reasons we wear fashion is identity, can we argue that this identity is solely shaped by our clothing? That would be a gross simplification.
Our identity is molded by the world around us. Reflect on why you have those ten specific tracks on your Spotify playlist, why you share certain images on social media or even the aesthetics of your online profiles. Think about your car preferences, the groceries you buy, the avatar you choose for virtual platforms, and the movies and TV series you enjoy. This list could go endlessly, so you can literally think of anything you enjoy doing or seeing.
The things we do or love aren’t just random acts. They're fashion statements. They align us with "something," which is usually a community, movement, or feeling, highlight our uniqueness, and champion self-expression. Every decision we make, and every item we buy or appreciate tells a story about ourselves. I am a firm believer that observing someone's choices — what they buy, and what they value — is the best way to truly understand them. Such actions reveal far more about a person than words ever could. Our words can be filtered, tailored to fit a narrative, but our spontaneous actions? They arise from the deepest desires of our hearts and minds. They are the truest reflection of who we are.
Now I want you to do something. Take a moment. A deep, reflective pause. Take a look around your living place. That vintage poster on your wall, the indie band album on your shelf, the Bohemian rug on your floor, and even the artisanal coffee mug you prefer every morning are not just items. They are extensions of you. They're statements, pieces of a mosaic that make up your identity.
In essence, what we wear is merely the tip of the fashion iceberg; real fashion encompasses how you live, what you believe, and how you express those beliefs. Everything, from the tangible to the intangible, from the physical to the digital, encapsulates fashion.
So, you, me, and all of us, with our complexities and simplicities, are a living, breathing embodiment of fashion.
It's possible that the statement "Everything is Fashion" will raise some eyebrows. Some may find the concept too broad, too prevalent, and even overwhelming. To those who do not share our enthusiasm for this concept, we may appear to be odd. Regardless of whether it is embraced or dismissed, the truth of this concept is timeless, resonating with the same intensity in the past, present, and, inevitably, the future.
For many, fashion is narrowed to clothing and accessories; to the tangible aspects that we can touch, wear, and flaunt. We've been conditioned to believe that fashion is about the most recent runway trends, the most sought-after designer labels, or the shifting of popular styles. But aren't we missing something bigger?
Fashion isn’t just about fabrics and colors. It is an interplay of individual expression, societal reflections, and cultural evolution. It’s about choice and voice. It is the song you unconsciously hum, the art you find appealing, the environments you create, or the digital personal you curate. Every little piece of you, when knitted together, creates a grand tapestry of identity and statement; it creates fashion.
Consider the vastness of fashion's reach, the depth of its significance, and the infinite ways it manifests itself the next time someone mentions it. Strip away the surface layers, delve deep into its essence, and truly comprehend its omnipresence. This way, you will come to a profound realization:
Everything is Fashion.
Alyss
For a while, Alyss's work kept making appearances on my timeline. However, it was only a few days ago that a particular video of hers caught my attention. There was this unfathomable pull, a voice in my heart saying, "Watch it."
I was already captivated by the keys of her piano. But I was transported when her voice blended with the melody. Alyss's voice stood out among the many I've come to appreciate and cherish, shimmering with a distinct resonance. It's more than a voice; it's an experience. Those who want to experience this musical alchemy should watch that video.
Keep an eye on Alyss; I believe her star is about to rise even higher.
Deracine
Deracine, a digital fashion tour de force, brings together the vision of one artist into one company. Its ethos in fashion design is not so prevalent, but it struck a chord with me.
Deracine's works are a tapestry woven from three threads: Past and Tradition, with themes echoing bygone eras such as Ancient Egypt; Communities, emphasizing affiliations such as Chemists; and Time and Place, evoking atmospheres reminiscent of 1970s New York South Bronx.
When these threads come together, the result is nothing short of magical, as seen in the featured image. If this glimpse has piqued your interest, I invite you to delve deeper into its world and witness the wonders it creates.
Thank you for reading!
Have a fantastic day!

In today's interconnected world, marked by rapid technological advancements and a relentless pursuit of social prestige, we often fall into the trap of viewing everything solely through the lens of our personal experiences and beliefs.

Today, I want to reflect on an aspect of our lives that often feels like a burden, though I believe that with a shift in perspective, we might discover its enriching nature. It’s an element that every one of us possesses, one that we could never truly erase. This is something we often try to hide, fix, or even obsess over in the quiet corners of our minds.
