Imagine you see a women dressed all in black. Her hair is grey and short, a typical men’s cut, she is wearing heavy black rim glasses. You would probaly think: ‘Whoa, careful with this one.’
Black is the color of distance and mysteriousness, of mean fashion editors and satanists. It holds you at arm’s length and sends out a strong message: ‘Don’t mess with me’.
So maybe it’s better to stay clear of that woman.
But then this exact women turns around and suddenly all this blackness melts away. Two tiny little pink squares on a sleeve can work that miracle. All of a sudden you see a women that mends her raincoat (which is already quite notable) with pink patches. How charming is that? Then she takes off her coat and you notice she is not at all dressed in black from head to toe, she wears a shimmering blue velvet suit! How eccentric and dandyish! Now you definitely want to get to know this woman.
Fashion is a strong language, but sometimes it’s not screaming at you – it’s the soft words that we should listen to.
