How successful people are redefining fashion without Designer Labels and as a creative form of self expression with personal twists!
Fashion is a part of our lifestyle and whether we care about it or not, we all have some sort of fashion that we go by. Fashion, however, is characterized by many luxury items provided by high-end designers who make sure to promote their pieces in many fashion weeks throughout the year. Here we are talking about brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Versace and the like. However, in most cases these brands do not offer anything under the amount of a few thousand dollars, which is crazy when you think about it.
However, it seems that rich people such as the world’s greatest businessmen or the most successful gamblers, are changing the narrative. We can often see that the way these people dress is quite simple, and, in most cases, they do not wear designer labels at all. It is quite clear at this point that they are challenging the norms that one must wear designer clothes to look rich, or to look good. In this article, we will go through some of the main points on how successful people are redefining fashion and how we could learn from them.
Fashion is as a Form of Self-Expression
One of the absolute truths about fashion is that it is a form of self-expression. People wear a certain style of clothes because it reflects who they are and what they represent. In a way, we could say, people see themselves as blank canvases and then through fashion, they show their colors; that is, their personality and values. As a result, they create an image of themselves which sets them apart from the crowd and this could be the best thing about fashion, because it allows people to tell the world who they are. This, undoubtedly, can be done and is done frequently without buying any designer clothing items.
Quality Over Brand Names
It has been evidenced that all successful people care more about the quality than the brand name. Let’s take an example. For instance, the Swiss brand of shoes On offers way better quality of running shoes compared to other bigger names, even though their shoes are often regarded as not being aesthetically appealing. However, when you walk on them it feels as if you are walking on clouds, and successful people go for them because they care about the quality of the item. On the other hand, designer shoes in most cases are even painful to be worn for a long time, but they have the “look”.
Supporting Sustainable Fashion
Another important fact that successful people seem to care about is their commitment to sustainability. We are all aware of the excessive waste that fashion brands produce annually, and how some of them treat their coworkers, mostly based in third world countries. This is something that successful people seem to acknowledge and denounce, which we would say is a notable example of the following. In such cases, one can lookout for eco-friendly materials, local or small designers and vintage or second-hand clothes that are usually sold at a very affordable price.
Creativity and Personal Style
As we already mentioned, fashion is all about telling the world who you are through your clothing. It looks like successful people pay close attention to fashion as an art form that would allow one’s creativity to come up with different ways of styling. In this case, we suggest that you explore different items and try to match them to what you like and see what you do not like. One way of doing this is by incorporating different types of accessories and using them more unconventionally than we are used to seeing. However, if you do not know how to do that, there are plenty of fashion tips such as summer style guides that can walk you through ways of how to wear what.
The Rise of Fashion Icons Without Designer Labels
It has been witnessed that in the past few years, many fashion icons have emerged without using any designer items. These people have a passion for fashion, which they have turned into a job, and they do it with the most admiration there is. It is amazing to see such individuals’ prospects in life by showing the world various unique pieces which they have never seen before. In addition to that, it is inspiring to see how these people have created their personal brand based on their own desire and creativity. We can say that these people serve as reminders for us that fashion is not only about the big designer names and style is not determined by expensive price tags.
Conclusion
We can conclude that designer labels no longer serve as the only determinant of fashion. Knowing that true style originates from inside, successful people embrace fashion as an expression for originality, creativity, and their being. These people have proved that successful people do not dress in designer clothing because they value quality over fashion’s short-term trends, which consequently encourages sustainable fashion, and allows people to embrace their individual sense of style. Instead of focusing on the labels we wear, it’s time to see fashion through another lens and celebrate personal style as a representation of who we really are.
