Vogue Mexico October 2008: Coco Rocha is hot.
Most people wouldn’t expect to get fashion advice from a bespectacled college student that wears his school’s t-shirts about 5 days a week. The truth is most specimens of my species tend to stick to their Laptops, RPG, and maybe (if they are kind of old-fashioned) to their favorite books. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading and my Laptop as much as the next guy, but I also believe that unusual hobbies are what make me me. In my case, those are fashion, knitting, pop music, and cheesy TV shows. I’ve gotten plenty of reactions from people who find out about that; from the ones that assume I am as brainless as most of the other people that like those things, to those that simply stick to assumptions based on gender and sexual orientation. Because, like, ohmyGod, only gay men can like fashion! I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t really care anymore. The point of this blog is to get my thoughts on those subjects out for people to see, instead of continuously forcing my friends to read and/or hear about them. Maybe if they are in the open, people who are interested in them would like to read them, right? I think the word “random” is overused when it comes to blogging, but I can’t deny that it would describe me very well. Just a friendly warning.
Ah, fashion. That strange gray area where there are no blacks or whites when it comes to what is beautiful and what is ugly. Like Voltaire said: if it didn’t exist, we would have to invent it. Personally, I don’t consider myself a fashionista. I am merely a person that likes to keep up with the comings and goings of what designers decide people should wear. I like what I like, I hate what I hate, and I don’t usually let people tell me what is hot or what is not. I don’t believe in fashion authority, which is why I decided to just speak (or write) my mind. The worst thing that can happen is that a few people may disagree with them, and to be honest, it doesn’t scare me. Discussions come out of disagreements, and that is the fun part of communication. Back to the point, New York Fashion Week is going on as we speak! Tomorrow, I will probably post my thoughts on the collections that call for my attention. Right now I must sleep, for Business Law class is in 7 hours.
