Fashion as Expression? Passion? or Obsession?
Like any other Sunday, me and my dear friend went to have dinner and a little shopping. We went to Zara store today in Grand Gateway. As always, checking up for what's new in the store. And I FOUND something really new to me!! As I looked into the mirror, when trying on a pair of snake skin shoes, there is this I-thought-a-lady lady were cutting in front of me and trying a blazer on. I moved a step aside so I can have the view that I wanted to see.
Then I realized that it was a HE. He was trying on a woman's blazer with his feminine hand motions and walking style. I was unconsciously, amazingly looking at him while my other hand was calling Erlin (my friend) to let her see what I saw. He was trying many other blazers on, he didn't pick the tuxedo blazer or the man-like-blazer but he picked those feminine short blazer with tweed!! He was interested in 2 blazers. One was Dark Silver and the other one was Black and White tweed! I dropped my jaw when I saw him picked those clothes and tried them on.
Well that was something new that I had never seen before. I wanted to take a picture of him. But, I rather not. That would not be nice. Then I found a picture of Parisian Men dressing women! I don't know what fashion has gotten them into. But I know for sure that they are expressing themselves very well. As you can see one man was wearing HIGH HEELS. Higher than some other women could wear.
I don't know what my reaction really is, I was surprised for sure. But let's try to think in a different point of view. I believe that they love to see how beautiful a woman can be when wearing nice clothes. Even they wanted to be like one. Yes man's fashions are not as interesting as woman's. Women can dress like men and they look good on it. Then these men might as well wanted to experience the same thing too. So Women! Be glad that we were born as one! Dress up nicely every single day!
