Fashion Has An Identity Crisis

Fashion can start with lettinšŸ…˜g go ofšŸ“– everything it is usually related to.

Fashion is break-free. Even the Oxforą¼ŗd Dictionary adheres to it, fashion fšŸŽƒollows the word fascism.

Much ošŸŒƒf ā€˜fashion as a trendā€™ has been talked about.

A way of doing thišŸ’«ngs? Again, it is what fashion has always beenšŸ’› thought of.

It is supposed to be moreš’…Œ than the things it has ever been associated with. Maybe we need to erase the word fashion itself. Fashion can start with letting go of everything it is usually related to.

Let's rather call it ā€˜ZYXā€™ for the time being.

ZYX may not be something material, but it can sustaāœ¤in an imšŸ—¹pression in our minds.

In fact, hā™“ypothesis iź§‘s the first step towards a new reality. Everything we can think of will be possible someday.

Or maybe ZYX can be a way out for those who want to live their fantasies. ZYX may be a rešŸ§øality to someoneā€™s hypothesis.

ZYX should be a new medium away from garments, dreams, music, paper, mannequinsšŸ·, colours, love, people, photographs, videos, oil, water, sculptures, etc.

ZYX is looking for India and discovering America.

ZYX hasšŸ”Æ to offend itself rather than doing it tšŸ”œo others.

ZYX is newness in every possible way.

It has to be the unapparent.

The unanticipated.

ZYX has to be a two-way process, a give aź¦nd take rather than a one-way accušŸ™ˆmulation.

And this is a lie Iā™” am telling since these words and this language exist for ZYX to be talked about. How no truth is told 100%.

ZYX could be an aid to other ignorant things in this world like techšŸŒ±nology, politics, medicine, law and for all those who say fashion is a business out of entertainment and look at it as something inferior.

ZYX should be oneā€™s selfishness that doesnā€™t ašŸ²ffect others. ZYX has š’…Œto be a way out of all the miseries.

ZYX has to un-entertain šŸ’žilliteracy, unawareness, poverty, terrorism, etc.

ZYX has to be an international isļ·½sue and should exist just as a superhero does, and people be curious about them.

ZYXšŸŒ  has to lure the world, the terrorists, the non-fashionistas, the doctors, the engineers, the taxi driver, the electrician, š“”the construction worker, the good and the bad.

ź¦…Something like terrorišŸŒŒsts giving up on terrorism and wishing to dress up or design, for that matter.

But before all, ZYX has to aid itself. The practical approach would say that something like fast ZYX has to undo itself. ā™A Zara T-shirt worth $40 is thought to be very nominal for a person buying it; it might cost $15 to the producer, but a 12-year-old is missing out on all the enlightenment and fun (thatā€™s what we want in life, right?) while he makes that T-shirt. In that case, we are buying it very cheap.

All the ZYX designers and students should pledge to give away whatever money they earn to educate people. Eā™”ducate ZYX, maybe.

Luxury has been exploited, we donā€™t need it anymore. No luxury products. A lot of funds are being dumped. Arenā€™t all the good things for āœ±free? All the luxury products have to be disowned. They should just not exist. Letā€™s see what happens.

Letā€™s celebrate a day when everyoneą²ž destroys their luxury items, makes a video, and puts it on the Internet.

ZYX has to overtake a lot of aspects.

ZYX should make everyone live the life š”‰of a Richie-rich, a wanna-be and later hate it. Be less pretentious?

ZYX has to undo and unquote whateveršŸŽ has been quoted about itself.

ā€œFashion is a form of ugliness so intā™ˆšŸØolerable that we have to alter it every six months,ā€ said Oscar Wilde; how do you revamp this quote?

I remember rā›¦eturning from my school, seeing the road to home as a ramp and walking it down, looking at the tiniest details on the way. The guy serving tea on the way was such a model. All šŸŒ that while I was studying sciences. So ZYX need not happen to a ZYXā€™ista or a designer.

ZYX has to be a saviour.

It may not mean anything.

ZYX is aboutąµ² being less pessimistic and more optiā–Ømistic.

No business involved.

No incoherence produced by unoriginal ideas.

ZYX redefinition isnā€™t supposed to be looked for but should simply happen to oneā€™s mind, shaā™•ź¦—red, agreed to and worked on.

Coco Chanel didnā€™t say things so that later people could quote it. She didnā€™t design things to make all the difference. She wanted things a certašŸøin way that was away from what society could accept.

ZYX isnā€™t about this writing competition; itā€™s a process that shall keep gošŸ°ing.

One has to be free, so will be ZYX.
