Ordinary Banana

interesting. Street or alternative personal approaches to fashion definitely seem more accessible.

Wonder how much earlier comment about being unfashionable was due to lack of confidence vs. lack of conformity.

like there have always been new trends which I stubbornly refused to incorporate b/c I thought they were ugly...

(ex. exposed zippers starting ~2011, or current "athleisure" trend.) Also stuff I'm holding on to past its prime

I think I used to see fashion as self-glorifying, but then I realized: everybody has to look at you anyway...

so looking interesting or beautiful in some way is serving other people in a tiny way

for me it's been about trying to find myself.

probably goes back to being a designer, in that I already expect aesthetic to line up w/ some deeper meaning.
