Fashion is Art and You Are the Canvas

 
 

When I wear this outfit, I am reminded that fashion is an essential, high art. This look is an expression of my life and imagination- my internal power and beauty manifested. One of the benefits of fashion and art is the freedom to blend and bend textures, lines, styles and fabrics to reveal the truth of life’s experiences. This Vismy floral jacquard bomber by Dries Van Noten represents these ideas.

The metallic purple, gold and silver pattern reflect an ancient spirit of regality. I could definitely see this print on a luxurious dress of an ancient queen from the Mediterranean. I feel like that spirit definitely lives within me. But nobody has time to hustle and bustle around New York City in dramatic ball gowns. The fact that the idea of regality can be transported into this casual bomber jacket works perfectly for my life.

The accents of my gold Saint Laurent clutch and Prada shoes juxtaposed with my comfortable jeans continues the play of regality blended with casualness- an ancient spirit with a progressive attitude-the formality of customs and etiquette against relaxed comfort. Live your truth through fashion. The truth will set you free. The Joy of J.
