A city, A style

Fashiolista is a great way to drool organizedly over clothes. You can search anything from wardrobe to accesories in the page or upload any online selling products from the original websites. It is great when you shop online and want to compare all shops at a time, instead of searching them individually. You can also make lists with the things you like, but even with all those tools there is something missing, I wish everytime I hearted something it went automatically into my closet... yeah, they have to work on that. 

This platform is addictive - in a good way- I can spend hours satisfying my aspirational desire for clothes, and I even made some lists, each one inspired by a main city of fashion. Angela Carter once said "Cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris a Woman, and New York a well adjusted transsexual". So, I guessed if they had sexes they also had spirit, personality and a fashion sense that puts all that together. I also included Shanghai because it has a more modern approach than the others and brings something different to the table.

I don't have a lot of followers but it is all about fashion not fame. At least that is what I tell myself. 

 Speaking again about the style of the city, I can talk from experience about NY, Paris and Shanghai because I've been there but when it comes to London, that fine man, I just have to remember Bridget Jone's Diary, Closer and the brief parts of the muggle world in Harry Potter. The style of a city can be defined by the architecture, the historic memory of the streets, and the character of its people, but there is also the invisible spirit of a place, an inexplicable something but impossible to deny.   

when in NEW YORK

The concrete jungle where dreams are made of. This very well adjusted transsexual is the perfect combination between the desire of belonging and the ambition for standing out, just like the mix between Brooklyn's stifled air and Broadway's blinding lights.

when in     _PARIS_

Hemingway called it a moveable feast, Oscar Wilde said it is where good americans go when the die, Eduardo Caballero said it was a mascarade party and to me is the only place is the world where everything is an excuse for dinner. Clothes for Paris remind me the elegance of simplicity with the melancholy of the golden age.

  

when in LONDON
 I may be full of prejudice but I see the rainy streets of London and imagine a wise man sitting in front of a chimney, smoking pipe, beign very curious about life while wearing Ralph. I love the bloody and misterious side to this city, although it seems to be very bright and heroic in the middle of its greyness. Is just an impression, is the kind of thing I want -and need- to see by myself.

when in SHANGHAI
It is the future, the optimistic one. This city manages to be historical without letting the nostalgy of the past be anywhere near the modernity of the future. This is the only place that knows its past so well so that it won't happen again. The skyline and the neon lights of the city inspires clever design, besides, it's just the perfect movie set.

Wherever you live don't look for acceptance, you will only make a home where you and the spirit of the city merges like one in total and absolut sense of identity.
