this hermacetic is defined as the
perception interpretation and
appreciation of beauty a value that
provokes emotions of admiration
awe and fascination upon viewing as well
as plenitude connection and oneness when
creating aesthetics begin with an
understanding of who you are inside and
out to solidify multiple narrative
sequences in the visual manner you see
fit by dressing authentically and
intentionally you may enhance physical
attributes through self-expression
within fit balance and proportion for
self-concept style and intention an
aesthetic will capture varying attitudes
of all sides with a tangibly conjured up
execution resulting in an instrument of
expression
drawing inspiration
from within as well as a wide range
externally that allow for creative
impulses to have a place in the world to
have an aesthetic is not to box yourself
in and become defined by labels but
rather to define another channel out of
many that life has to offer in regards
to visual and personal expression that
resonates with oneself it's not to mulch
yourself to a label or to cause distress
over not being a quote-unquote proper
fit but to simply be and creatively
express your own personality interests
intelligence and experience through a
lens you feel well suited to in regards
to fashion your style is a combination
of all you think feel covet and do
aesthetics are a component of this as we
will be drawn to certain visuals due to
our own individual psychology and
philosophies of beauty the act of
forming an aesthetic is to create
visuals in your mind's eye that align
with these sets of leading principles by
which you live through actions demeanor
and outward appearance married to
internal states the aesthetic experience
of enjoying and creating are inevitably
intertwined as fashion is experienced on
a multitude of levels innately both
internally as well as externally in the
act of honing an ascetic is both sensory
and emotional it should be noted a
personal aesthetic is not necessary but
many do long for one and strive to
create it due to how fashion provides a
very special space for belonging in the
world through knowledge understanding
and acceptance that shapes a visual
narrative of our lives
if you're interested in the study of
fashion and how people signify specific
social or cultural positions through
dress as well as why we are
psychologically drawn to certain
aesthetics i have a video dedicated to
the semiotics of fashion philosopher
david hume states beauty and things
exist in the mind which contemplates
them we see our own application when
defining finding and developing our own
personal aesthetic as aesthetics are
compiled by the mind and emotions
relative to one's sense of beauty hence
the development of taste through views
and perception this may be both from
contrived or natural sources that are
found within in hand with outer
principles governing the idea of
aesthetics based on time location
culture values etc this is always
present and evolving for example from
the 80s into the 90s this age of the
supermodel had taken the world by storm
hence the very traditional bright
charming details and lavish design
approaches providing this fresh
indulgent aesthetic that many would
partake in with the economic crash and
social factors of the 90s anti-fashion
was on the rise though at its core
shocking to the public the fashion
industry embraced anti-fashion rhetoric
with open arms and development over time
hence the standards of beauty in terms
of visual aesthetics of style shifted as
the use of proportion ensembles and even
presentation shifted from this multiple
aesthetic channels opened up being
infused into these previously defined
aesthetic codes just in this decade of
this example we can see the main and
sub-channels of aesthetics that branch
out providing multiple versions of
beauty that resonates with an individual
based on where they are in life and
their view of fashion that encapsulates
their romantic and logical idea about
life or their own placement in the world
when viewing emerging ideologies in
terms of aesthetics and beauty our own
relationship to societal standards
furthers our own philosophies and within
our life we ourselves get to partake in
the act of creation for a reflection of
our spirit externally as in the words of
ralph waldo emerson love of beauty is
taste
the creation of beauty is art
in the 1930s aesthetics of dress were
influenced by innovation fashion at this
point in time stressed the importance of
dressing to personality traits
through quote-unquote fashion types very
similar to character types and media
today that resonate with people but this
was applied in the real world through
marketing at the time into the 70s and
80s their focus shifted into achieving a
distinctive and individual aesthetic in
a time where culture placed value on
individuality amidst the flourishing
abundance both these channels have grown
over time and to the ones we have today
for this we can see how apparel
functions in terms of aesthetic and how
this is an evolving aspect of our
culture which begs the question what
causes something to truly resonate and
be a part of our aesthetics the artistry
of a piece will resonate the way it's
designed the meaning story and
conceptual life behind the product to
produce an authenticity depending on the
intrinsic sense of beauty philosophy the
eye has that resonates if worthy of
acceptance based on one sense of self or
coveted image by which they're drawn to
this by extension is still part of
oneself to find hone or develop in
subject and intention many people who
are drawn to the same or similar
aesthetics will further the
philosophical identity and the meaning
of it as psychologically the visuals
that hone an aesthetic will create
connotations and links to concepts that
provide further meaning to the imagery
on both a personal and group shared
experience the emotional process by
which an authentic aesthetic comes to be
is a subconscious one as a function
cultural connotation color psychology
beauty philosophy an overall concept
linked to visuals will define this which
is why we are often inspired by other
mediums in terms of dress typically an
aesthetic is obtained from interest
inner psychology or sociology philosophy
lifestyle fashion preferences and the
type of self-expression
one is looking to achieve each piece
that goes into curating the ascetic
tells a story in itself and has so much
thought and intent behind it by wearing
the piece you are furthering this
aesthetic narrative as this is an
inherent beautiful instinct through
personal taste life experiences interest
and evolving variables rather than
aspiring to define yourself you can
curate what you know and display how you
know it with clothing when curating an
aesthetic in terms of fashion the first
thought is to look at fashion this is
necessary and a great foundation but it
also can be a disservice to oneself as
fashion is a tangible depiction of a
time concept or place by taking on
another's aesthetic you're disregarding
these elements and essences of yourself
when holding an aesthetic rather than
having these pieces dictate your
configuration you want to get to the
root of the concept and configure this
accordingly to you inspiration can be
found in numerous imagery from
architecture and paintings to music and
films each piece that goes into curating
an aesthetic tells a story and has so
much thought and intent behind it from
the derived source as well as your own
personal narrative this type of thinking
allows for one to never be boxed in or
confined to a label protocols of dress
have evolved into multiple avenues of
channels and aesthetics today that
holding nature of fashion in a modern
age of much access to multifaceted
channels of aesthetics more often than
not one may be drawn to multiple labels
of ascetics specific components or a
vast array of essences this is natural
because we are dimensional beings
forcing a single label is to limit and
not honor our own magnitudes it is best
to explore all aspects of apparel and
feel what truly harmonizes while names
and labels aid in the development as a
tool
or a vehicle of exploration falling
under a label is not the end goal an
aesthetic is an ever-changing and
evolving part of ourselves to hinder
this is to hinder development for the
sake of visuals rather than honing the
visuals of our lives to blend aesthetics
retaining a proper balance and harmony
is crucial to allow for the aesthetics
unique from one another to seamlessly
blend to the eye with this foundation
further elements and embellishments are
easier to integrate in despite differing
as the community of saturation value and
the relationship of visual effect create
space for implementation if unsure think
of its concept and how this will
interact within the other aesthetic this
relationship and interaction
conceptually can be tangibly captured
for example there are varying degrees of
formality and unification under the
aesthetic the contrast of a structural
garment provides an unparalleled
sensation
that illuminates the underlying tone of
ascetic combinations another technique
to infuse elements that execute your
aesthetic as pattern play meaning to
choose an element to dominate while the
other's accent scaling patterns textures
and breaking them down will create focal
points for the look in solidarity by
finding common ground or contrast that
allows for further emphasis on both
forms the aesthetic will fall together
layering is another way to add varying
degrees which can be strategically done
to highlight features and balance out
concepts which will evoke the
sensibility of an aesthetic
with more on searching for your
aesthetic in terms of inspiration
between runways trends and remaining
true to yourself in terms of style my
friend bella will fill you in with some
tips on the process
hey guys it's bella and i'm going to be
talking about my
side of the advice for finding your
personal style your personal aesthetic
so it is not going to be you know short
and easy or whatever it took me years to
really realize like what i actually like
i want to be honest it took years but
i'm going to pretty much say how i did
it you can find inspiration in literally
anything for fashion seriously i've
looked outside before and just randomly
got ideas for outfits pinterest is just
the best for inspiration because you
know what people like me like we i i
follow a lot of people and you have to
find those people um they have multiple
boards of like different aesthetics
because you can love multiple aesthetics
that's you know like there's no rules so
you know go through those boards and
kind of take inspiration from them all
and find the things that you love and
you resonate with make your own boards
and find out like okay how can i
interpret this aesthetic into a style
and also vogue runway seriously runway
you will get so much inspiration once
you really like dig deep into vogue
runway because runway is where the
trends start that's where they originate
from also if you want to get some
inspiration of trends runaways where
it's at because runway is always ahead
of the game and also old runway shows
that's where i get my inspiration like
early 2010's runway um late 2000's
runway i get a lot of inspiration from
it's funny because like once you start
realizing like the runways that you take
the most inspiration from that's how you
find what your personal style is because
they'll all kind of connect to each
other in a way even if they're different
styles they will find a way to connect
and then you mix them all together and
it will be one aesthetic one personal
style
again you do not have to have like one
single aesthetic fashion is supposed to
be fun it's not supposed to be serious
so there's nothing wrong with being
versatile completely different vibes in
every single outfit you wear because if
your main aesthetic is many aesthetics
mixed into one honestly that's how most
of these fashion icons that's how
they're giving their name because people
love their vibe in their aesthetic and
it's
multiple aesthetics like mixed into one
do not over complicate finding your
aesthetic built into one style is
aesthetic i mean seriously fashion is
everything
when moving from the curation stage to
development you will begin to build a
wardrobe based off identity over a given
guide this is a fluid process if
something speaks to you retain this
trends may resonate and be a part of
your aesthetic but more often than not
they will fall short over time all in
all the development is a journey to
embark on to breathe life into your
aesthetic and to live your philosophy
and see beauty through a lens that is
crafted by the heart drawing from all
that you love and see fit in life that
will stay with you in your ensembles
rather than having this defined for you
in the words of deepak chopra to define
yourself is to limit yourself
but that labels remain an infinite being
