According to dictionary.com fashion is
1) a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing
2) a manner, a way, a kind
3) the make or form of anything
Guess who created Fashion? It all began with Adam and Eve came to realization they were naked after they ate the forbidden fruit so the LORD God made garments of skin and clothed them. God created the first piece of clothing!
Fashion is a positive word and it changes constantly. It can be found in a t-shirt, a dress, a pair of heels, a song, a film, a phone, a life style, a thought or a dream. It is a creation, an art, an expressive, an inspiration, an interpretation and a conception. It gives you unlimited space of imagination and creativity. It is something that you need to chase after or else it'll be gone in the blink of an eye.
While I was searching for inspiration for my next project, I remember a video I saw a while back. As the underdog in England and finally getting some noise in Paris, it was pretty smart for Gareth Pugh to use it for his show in Paris Fashion week when everyone was expecting to see a runway show. Which leads me to think about risks taking can save you or kill you...but would you rather sit there, wait and wonder or would you take a step forward, go for it and get the experience.
I'm not very good at taking risks but I keep reminding myself that it's like faith, you need to take one step at a time in order for it to grow. Fashion and Faith have similarities. They're both from the Lord, both involve risks taking, something you need to chase after, something that drive you, inspire you, energize you, something you think you don't need but you can't live without, something you don't know how to deal with but you just have to keep trying.
Faith is like fashion, there are different seasons, ups and downs, likes and dislikes. You may be struggling now but tomorrow will be a better day. If 80s is not your cup of tea for this coming fall, you can either be a biker chick, be glamorous, wear your underwear outside or wait till the return of spring!
