After reading a particular post from the Fashion Addict Diary, the Fashionable Kiffen is taking a break from the scheduled fashion week programming to discuss the difference between fashion industry people and “civilians”. Now, avid fashionistas sometimes wear things that are viewed as slightly ridiculous by the rest of the population. Platform pumps, ultra wide belts, and bubble skirts are just a few of the current array of items that immediately signal the wearer as an avid follower of fashion.
Generally, the most avant garde pieces seem eccentric to all but the most fashion forward among us, so what’s a girl to do? Tame your look to appeal to the masses? Move to NYC or Tokyo, where no one will bat an eye? Or just accept the confusion of the civilians as part and parcel of being the most fabulous one in the room?
