merci! ♥ we are all fashion design students at an arts high school in tokyo or well. we were. we just graduated.. and now im here... ha......
are you familiar with dandies? such as oscar wilde? except oscar was fabulous, he's nothing like beau brummell beau brummell was an influencer in regency england who became a fashion icon and is the grandfather of the modern men's suit. he redefined men's fashion virtually on reputation alone. a classic modern western suit is to beau brummell as a little black dress is to coco chanel. but he's also the reason men stopped wearing bright colors, jewelry, frocks and lacy cravats. he was not born an aristocrat and could not afford these things but he wanted to be fashionable and rich so he started trends of wearing complicated yet understated suits in drab colors..... he believed "to be truly elegant one must not be noticed" or something to that effect... so sad!! now so many men are afraid to dress nicely in clothes that make them happy, cuz theyre too self-conscious about standing out!! it's so sad. that mentality is so restrictive and it made its way around the whole world. and it all started with this one guy!!
