Jumpsuits / Playsuits

First off, I don't know the exact name of the garment I'm talking about. Some sites call them jumpsuits (which just reminds me of those orange, jumpsuits from prison,) and other sites call them playsuits (such as Top Shop.) Doesn't matter, I'll just call them jumpsuits here. Actually, they remind me of shirt-dresses, which I just blogged about on Thursday, except jumpsuits' bottoms are shorts instead of skirts. Oops ok I'm rambling...So the point of this post is me saying eww to jumpsuits. Jumpsuits is a thing that I relate to the 80's, and 80's to me is a decade of somewhat vulgar fashion, (although this really is more of an impression rather than me actually knowing 80's fashion well.) Plus this season's 80's revival of bright colours doesn't help.

I have to admit Nicole Richie makes the jumpsuit look mega-glamorous. (And no, this does not mean I think of her as my role model of any sorts.) I like the black and gold combo.

Fashion

For me fashion is divide to 3 parts. And they are. . .
  • Creator
  • Consumer 1
  • Consumer 2
The Description and Examples

Creator.
Creator is a person who create styles.
It can describe as
fashion designer and fashion styles.
They are the person behind fashion industry.

Consumer 1
Consumer 1 is a person who
find styles.
I take
Mischa Barton for example, she bought back channel quilted bag to the top.
Rachel Bilson also a good example, shes adaptable enough with hollywood's fashion and she do it herself aka without stylist.
Hillary Duff, Zooey Deschanel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss are the other example.

Consumer 2
Consumer 2 is a person who
copy or followed styles.
Paris Hilton for example, she might not copy styles but she follow styles, its different from Sarah Jessica Parker and Zooey Deschanel who let styles follow them, you cant find any pictures of Paris who arent wearing this season hot stuff.
Nicole Richie might have a great styles to copy but it doesnt mean that shes consumer 1, because she have a stylist who tell her what she have to wear and her stylist has a big influence in to her style since she can be that skinny just because Rachel Zoe told her so. But hello?! everyone love her (or Rachel Zoe) coz she found that amazing bag from Balenciaga!
