ONEFAUXSEVEN FASHION FILLING WORDS

Some people say that fashion means dressing up. Some of them say that it’s like slipping into a role. As for myself, I really don’t like slipping into roles. I like being myself. As I was challenged to put  together a vintage outfit, I knew that this would definitely not be what they expect it to be. Still, I decided not to go with what was expected. And it turns out to be the best idea I had.

NOT DOING WHAT’S EXPECTED – THAT’S MY STATEMENT

To be honest this outfit that you see is improvised and put together from vintage pieces and new pieces. Unlike my colleagues I decided not to stick to the plan by collaborating with one of a few vintage boutiques in Vienna. Sad to say  that at first this decision was not up to me.

BODY SHAMING: LEVEL PRO

When I was fitting in one of the shops I experienced body shaming in the worst way in my 25 years. I really was at my lowest point and they managed to put me there with the power of their words and disgusted looks. People who know me also know that I am the last person who can’t joke about it. But this time it was on a different level and I spent days thinking about their words and their actions. There would have been other shops I could have collaborated with. I just decided not to. I decided for myself not to stick to the plan. I didn’t want to pick an outfit from another shop just to avoid this process of shame that I was going through. I just didn’t want to look for something to fit into for ages. I wanted to put an outfit together without feeling bad. I didn’t want to take a piece of clothing just because it fits, and then work my way around it.

So I decided to put together my own outfit with a touch of vintage. A modern version of it. Something that I would also wear on a daily basis and rock on the streets. With this decision I didn’t only stay true to myself but wanted to make a statement that I really don’t support any kind of shaming and that anyone can join any kind of project by being independent at the same time.

OLD BUT GOLD

I actually love pairing new pieces with other pieces that have been in my closet for ages. So I thought, why not do the same for this vintage theme? To be honest I was quite unsure about it at first, because I saw how glamorous  Vanessa’s outfit was, but on the other side I knew that I wouldn’t feel comfortable all glammed up because it’s simply not me. I paired this flowery sheer top with one of my old 20ies dresses underneath. Still, I decided to wear the dress paired with denims to create a vintage inspired street style look. To almost complete the look I thought I’d use another vintage piece: my mothers dressing gown – but as a kimono. It was just perfect timing  when this piece arrived to complete my 20ies inspired look: the beautiful turban by HatsByBSR.
