STYLE ICON: BLOGGER’S REVIEW
There’s a thin line between a style icon and a fashionista. But let’s first have a look at the definitions, the origins of these words. Style- a manner of doing something, in this case that is an individual’s unique way(s) of doing things (or doing you, lol). Icon- taken from the Greek word “eikon” for “image”, a person/object readily recognised as having some well-known significance. Fashion-new creations by designers, clothing in general...shoes, accessories, make-up.
Now with that being said, we now understand the difference between this two people...a style icon is somebody that has knowledge of self, somebody that understands their true sense of belonging and they can even interpret that thru their fashion sense. In a manner that they usually go for trends and styles that match their characters and personalities, fashion that represents who they are and what they stand for. Hence the saying ‘if you don’t stand for anything, you fall for everything’, and these are the people who tend to be consistent with their style, and if you pay close attention you’ll also notice that most style icons have mastered this ability to tell their life journeys and endeavours thru the way they dress and carry themselves...you can tell if they happy and content with their lives, whether they going thru hard times, as well as when they grow. Basically, they don’t follow fashion they define it and inspire the fashionistas. Fashionistas are the core of fashion as a diverse and ever evolving industry, they adore and follow new trends and styles emerging in the fashion industry. I know most people would agree with me when i say they are the main source of inspiration in a manner that they fuel the commercial viability of the fashion industry. Fashionistas are always out there, vibrant, red eyed and ready to buy into new trends and styles set by our beloved style icons. Stay fabulous...
