Different things formed my fashion attitude in life..
the first one is my mom..
she and her sense of glamour grew me up teaching the importance of being unique.
I remember that one of the phrases she told me most when I had to buy something was.. "buy it just one but very cool!"
This is definetly a headline to me.
I don't like to buy cheap things cause I'm a snob or something.. just because I trust that a special piece is 100 times better. Cheap stuff means that is probably made in china and have a massive production.. so the reault is that your item will be seen all over the world dressed from every type of girl/boy and surely the quality is not good.. so it will be damaged in a short time..
This is not my philosophy..
I trust in clothes (I know I might seem a fool saying this but it's what I feel) and my outfits are my buisness card.
In Italy there's a way of saying that is "L'abito non fa il monaco" (suit don't make a priest) and it's true..I know..
but the way you dress is the first thing that people notice.. I also know that most people in the world don't pay all this attenction.. but I'm not talking about those people of course ; )
I have a strong photographic memory.. but I realized that is mostly concerned on clothes.. often I don't remember the shape of the face or the colour of the eyes (except by blue) but I can remember exactly which shoes and which shirt that person was wearing that time..
mmmm.. isn't normal I know but it's me..
I believe that spending "x" money for an amazing suit of that fantastique brand you love gives you more sadisfaction than spending the same "x" money in 4 different things bought in H&M or Mango..
I like H&M and Mango of course.. but the idea of having the same dress that other 10000 girls have just kill me.. if I go out and I see someone wearing my same outfit I think I could die.. fortunately it doesn't happen so often cause I'm a bit addicted on this and I buy only clothes that usually people don't have for several reasons.. because it's vintage because it's a limited edition, because it's from an unknown brand, beacause has something so strong on it that common people could wear maybe just for carnival and most of all (my favourite ever) handmade clothes.. damn! That's the right way on spending your money dude! Get something that nobody has.. people seem always dressed all equals and I think it's so sad.. especially when you're living in a city where fashion is one of the best buisness as Milan where I'm living now.
I'm not saying that I'm better than the others.. I don't wanna give u this wrong idea.. I just wanted to explain that to me dressing it's not just putting something on to cover my body.. it's something about me.. I wanna speak to the world first from my clothes and as I believe that I am unique my outfits have to reflect what I am..
Thanks mom for teaching me this, my wallet will be always empty thanks to your advices!!
love u mommy
your daughter V.
