I have backed off quite a bit from the fashion week hype, and suddenly stumble upon a fact: the hype is actually in me.
My knowledge of designers
is qualified “better than average” as proven with my attempt to write fashion
rather intellectually, but I have little to no knowledge whatsoever about
Anthony Vacarello. Nor that I spark certain interest for the designer – that
is, until Susie Bubble’s Instagram shows a photo of his show. A look in
tie-dyed denim. I have to go little bit over the top here, but I experienced
some kind of deja vu looking at that sleek denim jacket. Why? BECAUSE I HAVE IT.
More precisely, I made
it. Although I cannot really boast that tie-dye DIY is mine, I have made that
jacket in early 2012, thus getting ahead of Anthony Vacarello in the tie-dye
game. And so are plenty other DIY enthusiasts and bloggers. We walk around in
our creation, and now that it has made to the runway, several wealthy customers
will have similar tie-dye version by paying much much more money for it. The
argument is however clear: our fabric has low quality, Vacarello’s doesn’t.
In terms of originality,
though, such designer’s creation cannot be really said original. But what is
originality in today’s fashion anyway? I can only pique your attention, that,
incidentally, Vacarello’s denim shade resembles closely to mine. Perhaps, we
are using similar technique and bump into similar material. Well, of course I’m
joking. But if you want to make one, here is a fairly simple DIY I posted in
2012. Until then, I can only say that the democratisation of fashion will
slowly see its light.
