Why a Fashion Revolution?
Fashion rules tell us what we “should” look like, when 95% of us will never look like the fashion icon. Because of genetics, no matter how many fashion tricks I use, I will never grow long sexy legs. Fashion should empower everyone, not tell us where we are lacking. A REVOLUTION is a dramatic, wide reaching change in the way something works or people’s ideas about it. I think it is time for a dramatic, wide reaching change in fashion! In the past, fashion has told us what beauty is and what “looks good this season.” The new look is always shown on a beautiful, long legged, symmetrically proportioned model. The largest percent of the world’s women do not look like this, yet we all try to and many of us fail because of genetics. No matter how hard I try, I will never grow long, sexy legs. A pair of jeans, no matter how expensive, will never make my butt look small. I could starve myself and my butt would still be the biggest part of me and my legs will still be short.
I believe that women are overly critical of their appearance. They either try very hard to camouflage their flaws or they take the attitude of not caring. Some may even stop trying because they will fall short of the “perfect model.” They constantly compare themselves to others, which creates competition, instead of camaraderie.
My purpose in writing MY FASHION REVOLUTION is to help people, especially women, to recognize what is good about them, what makes them different and most importantly how to play up those differences to enhance a unique kind of beauty. I want to teach people to know how to look good exactly the way they are. My dream is to see women accept and like themselves. This will cause women to accept and like each other. I believe this will automatically create camaraderie instead of competitiveness.
