Fashion and emotions – really? The way we dress tells others a lot about who we are and how we feel. Did you know that major color trends are often a reflection of the general mood of the population? In an economical downturn, during which financial hardship plagues almost the entirety of a population, colors in fashion tend to be more dull and dark. In spring on the other hand, when flowers start to blossom and we’re awaken by sun rays in the morning, we tend to dress more colorful and vibrant, more extravagant even.
So I wasn’t in the greatest mood in the moment of this little self-portrait shoot, which is reflected in the setting, the facial expressions, but also the photography, the post-photographic editing and lastly the outfit itself. Simple, straight forward, nothing to elaborate. I’m wearing a printed button-down and my blazer, from Zara and MBMJ respectively. The pants are from H&M and have a used wash to them. The wingtips are from Aldo, as seen in an other OOTD.
The point I’m trying to make is that mood influences fashion, and since all arts are interrelated from my point of view, we see that same mood reflected in the type of photography.
