Trivialization

If one more person says to me "Why would you want to go into fashion? It's so shallow." I'll lose my mind.

I'm about to take y'all to church.

I am a creative person, I've always been one to outwardly express the way I'm feeling. Fashion is a way to do that without having to say anything. For others Fashion is a shield, wearing a blouse with a busy print might be a way for a woman to cover up an imperfection in her physique that's particularly detrimental to her self confidence, a brightly colored pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels could be the perfect show stopper to help a business woman distract herself from her latest deposition. (I'm the king of run-on sentences, don't worry about it.) Fashion transforms people, it provides a way for us to be our best selves, or to be someone else completely.

As for my wanting to work in the industry, my explanation is simple: Fashion is one of the most cut throat industries one can be a part of, and I happen to be a very strategic (and competitive) person. That, combined with the creative aspect of the clothing, merchandising, and style is a perfect recipe for my career. Sounds wonderful right? Well don't get too excited, I haven't even graduated college yet.


Does that satiate your insatiable desire to understand the fashion industry? Didn't think so.

But I feel better.

Get to it.

FNO: Mark Your Calendars!

If you follow me on Tumblr, Facebook, or Twitter, you know that I've been plastering this homemade poster everywhere so you know to come see me as a Featured Blogger at Cincinnati's Fashion's Night Out.

But on the off chance that you live under a rock of ugly clothing you've missed it, here it is again, in more detail, and more hoittie toittie vernacular. 

Fashion’s Night Out
Saks Fifth Avenue
Sept. 8, 6-8pm

Join Stylelist, Saks Fifth Avenue, Cincy Chic and The Fagazine at the 2011 Fashion's Night Out. This fun and fabulicious event event will feature pop-up shops, a live band, DJ, complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and a blogger lounge. Now, I know you're all tired of seeing my ugly mug, and the unrealistically beautiful mugs of models and celebrities I post here all the time. Here's what you can do to change it: Come see yours truly in the Blogger Lounge in Saks Fifth Avenue on the night of FNO dressed in your most sartorially liberated outfit. The pictures are always more interesting if you are inebriated, and what do you know, there are complimentary drinks! So come down to Saks, imbibe, shop, and pose for me! What more can you ask for on a Thursday night? Nothing, that's what. 


See you there!


Zach.
