FASHION sense and more… by Ludivina Tresana


As of today, fashion has become the passion of every man’s life. But before we indulge ourselves of what’s hot for this era, let us know more what the real essence of fashion is.


For centuries individuals or societies have used clothes and other body adornment as a form of nonverbal communication to indicate occupation, rank, gender, sexual availability, locality, class, and wealth and group affiliation. Fashion is a form of free speech. It not only embraces clothing, but also accessories, jewelry, hairstyles, beauty and body art. What we wear and how and when we wear it, provides others with a shorthand to subtly read the surface of a social situation.
Fashion as a Sign System

Fashion is a language of signs, symbols and iconography that non-verbally communicate meanings about individuals and groups. Fashion in all its forms from a tattooed and pierced navel, to the newest hairstyle, is the best form of iconography we have to express individual identity. It enables us to make ourselves understood with rapid comprehension by the onlooker.
Fashion as a Barometer of Cultural Changes

How we perceive the beauty or ugliness of our bodies is dependant on cultural attitudes to physiognomy. The accepted beautiful female form that Rubens painted is subliminally undesirable nowadays, if we are to be thought beautiful in a way that the majority accepts in the 21st century. http://www.fashion-era.com/


Today, an inability to refashion and reshape our bodies, whilst constantly. Monitoring the cultural ideal leaves us failing the fashion test. Those that pass the fashion test invariably spend their lives absorbed in a circle of diet, exercise, cosmetic surgery and other regimes. This includes the rigors of shopping in search of the ultimate garb.
The Need for Tribal Belonging

Our reluctance to give ourselves a regular makeover through diet, exercise, and consistently conscious use of specific dress styles infers that we have the personality flaws of a weak willed human. We become in the eyes of fashion aficionados somewhat inadequate and imperfect in the fashion stakes. Thus we strive to keep a culturally satisfying appearance so that we feel better, whereas in fact we are striving to stay in the tribe, whatever type of tribe that may be. Group affiliation is our prime concern with regard to fashion. As long as some group similarity is identified within the group, our personal fashion whether current or dated can belong to any tribe. It is the sense of belonging marked by how we fashion ourselves that gives us the tribal connection.
Rôles
An innate characteristic of human beings is the desire to strive for differentiation. The removal of Sumptuary Laws and rigid dress codes has enabled the individual to use fashion as a means to identify clearly the many different rôles that a person plays in any one day. Sociologists borrowed the word 'rôle' from the theatre because, like actors individuals play many parts and each part has to be learnt. Roles are continually learned and rehearsed and relearned. They are also shared, because like the actors on a stage, fluid interaction only occurs if all the performers know the behavior expected. www.fashion-era.com
What’s in??? Nowadays, the global innovation of fashion rules the world even if crisis is at hand especially for women who are more conscious than men. Women give much time and effort on what to wear and how to be fabulous. And sorry for the guys because I only have some little tips for women here.

After a heavy week of school and work, here are some secrets to stay beautiful.

Make up/cosmetics
Cosmetics or make-up, substances to enhance the beauty of the body. Apart from simple cleaning, cosmetic, an adjective describing beauty, aesthetics, or appearance. Especially concerning the human body. For classy eye make up go for a silver - gold look with eye make -up. It gives an effervescent look and is the ultimate in sophistication.

Nails Care
Nail fungus also occurs to people who have a weak immune system. Therefore, eating a healthy diet would help in treating nail fungus. The healthier your immune system is, the bigger the chance that it can fight off the fungus. Your daily diet must always include fresh vegetables and fruits
Hair Guide
Knowing the shape of your face will help you choose the short hair cut style that is right for you and will also help you to communicate better with your hair stylist. And good communication is the key to a successful out- come at the salon. Suited styles are like chin or shoulder-length cuts with a fringe that can disguise the long forehead.

Women's jewelry
Women's jeweler whether it's jewelry for her to wear every day or only on very special occasions, be it elegant, extravagant, individual or expensive, showy or sexy jewelry, you can be confident that jewelry is always well received. Skin Care
Your busy lifestyle leaves little time for pampering skin care. The result: Your skin isn't the baby-soft body glove you were born with. As you age, your skin gradually becomes thinner and finely wrinkled. Oil-producing (sebaceous) glands grow less active, leaving your skin drier. An egg pack does wonders for your skin. First beat up the white of the egg and apply it on the face
Lips Care
To help your chapped lips heal faster, lightly use a toothbrush (make sure your toothbrush has a soft bristle and keep it light -handed) and brush your lips. It may tickle, but hey...it helps to remove the dead skin allowing your lips to heal faster. Then apply your lip conditioner. Your lips should heal and feel much better in very little time.

Face/Make Over

Get your face prepared a day or two before. The reason for this is if you have a facial on the day impurities tend to come to the surface and you don't want that on the night! Do 48 hours before to ensure your skin looks its best and simply exfoliate on the day Hair Colouring
These are applied in the manner of rinses, gels, mo sses, and sprays on the surface of the hair and can be washed out when needed. Temporary hair coloring is an acid-based formula that pits a coating on the strands of the hair and does not penetrate the skull.
