Today we discussed the reasons behind fashion and dressing in costume design. Group identity, social class, modesty, protection, utility, comfort (either physical or psychological), adornment. We spent the full two hours of class discussing why people wear the clothes they wear and what they try to do when they adorn themselves when it occured to me.
I am the most BORING dresser ever. The only adornments I wear are two necklaces I never take off and 6 earrings I never take off. The only shirts I own are Gap T-shirts and Old Navy tanktops, if I buy something more interesting than that chances are I will lose it. I pull out a new shirt from my drawer and sniff the pants on my floor to see if they are decent for the outside world. I wear the same pair of shoes every single day, and if I’m lucky enough to remember I may put on the Sweeney Todd hoodie I got at Hot Topic.
It’s very strange to just sit and think about the way you dress, why you dress, how much time you spend dressing. Try it sometime. Hopefully you won’t end up with the identity crisis I did.
