Then there are those that pose for the picture, as they say, do everything. Live on false appearances, borrowed dresses, eat in the events that are invited, because they don't own a penny. So what's the role of clothing right now? It served to propagate the species, to demonstrate social and political status and to mark the emergence of a new social class. Think? Certainly it is not just to cover us, given that even the concept of fashion has changed, the great couturiers died and with them died also exclusive luxury, now even Karl Lagerfeld designs collection for large chains of clothing.
The garment has at the moment for me, a less obvious and more democratic in my opinion, it serves to differentiate the various human tribes of the global world that has nothing to do with social status, wealth or success. You are what you wear and it is a reflection of the group where you belong. And to that end I'll name just a few:
Rastas are one of the tribes because they reflect an emerging way of life, cleaner, and respect for nature, they have vegetarians principles and a certain way to be very Zen. Their clothes are made from biological raw materials and somewhat rudimentary. If they touch some of these fabrics feel its harshness, since they are made by hand. They are those who advocate the legalization of cannabis and they respect animals.
The fashionist, are the group that longs for Birkin bags and shoes by Miguel Vieira, are people with some financial support and they 'live' for brands. They dress and act in accordance with the trends, some are so excessive that they become ridiculous.
The Betties and Mauritius, the kids from well breed families. All have that very clean look and are appalled with the way of live of the other groups.
The nerds, are those that follow, I have spoken of Steve Jobs, but what is the first image that comes to your mind ? That's it. The type have glasses, wear the shirt with squares, the top pocket full of pens and jeans.
The "gunas" are a reflection of the football world, think of the image of Cristiano Ronaldo, the pinnacle for this tribe. Boys from the housing estates, who wear blue torn jeans with garish T-shirts and fair, beret and zirconium earring in the ear, because diamonds are for those who can and the famous fake adidas sneakers.
the emos, they are also not very difficult to distinguish, minimalist colors, often black, and the t-shirt with DC Comics heroes and wearing famous tennis allstars. The girls use notes in color and also, the infamous Docs Martins and, they use also avant-garde design. They are very retro, using the bags that "till" from the cabinets of the mothers. Very cool with a mix of punk rock, but with a motto of peace and love.
And you where you belong?
