I decided to embark on a little D.I.Y project that is beneficial for both makeup lovers and D.I.Y enthusiast. This was my first time in creating a makeup brush holder and I am here to give you a little run-down of the overall process.
Equipment Used: Sewing Machine, Fabric, Tape Measure, Ribbon, Fabric chalk/pencil, Fabric Scissors, Ruler and Pins.
If you had to pick between branded clothing and non-branded clothing, which would you pick?
Some may say with branded clothing you are paying for the quality because the brand is well known therefore it must be reliable. However, with wearing certain brands there is a certain connotation that surrounds the clothing which can give either a positive or negative impression on the wearer. This can alter how a person might view you. Subconsciously, it can be a method to showcase status which can divide a certain demographic from each other.
As an individual that is curious about the media’s fascination of the rise of the Asian Fashion scene.
I was surprised to have come across a new fashion movement that is sweeping the streets of Japan (Harajuku) called Mode Fashion.
Mode Fashion can be described as a clothing style that is shapeless to the curvature of the human body with a mixture of genderless fashion within a monotone colour palette scheme.
Thoughts and Conclusion
Despite the detailed description of this theory, I cannot help but ask whether the body type really matters when it comes down to buying clothes?
I know people often say dress for your figure, know the lines that best flatter your physique but in all honesty doesn’t this restrain a person from truly expressing themselves? However, it could also mean that it simplifies the clothing options to choose from by giving some sort of a guideline.
The Body Types
Dramatic (All Yang): The main characteristics of a dramatic body type is being 5 ft 5 inches and over. Their bone structure is angular with sharp edges. They can have square or narrow shoulders as well as a narrower hip. Their facial structures are prominent and sharp (jawline, cheekbones, nose etc). In addition, they have taut skin and a strong vertical or straight body that lacks in the chest region (small or flat chested) which can be maintained even when they gain or lose weight. Their hands and feet are long and narrow.
Examples of a dramatic type would be Tilda Swinton or Taylor Swift.
The Introduction
I discovered David Kibbe’s 13 Body Types Theory from a YouTube channel called Ally Art. Although I am still learning about this theory I will try my best to break it down. In this theory it explains how the human body consists of masculine and feminine energy.
To simplify things, I will refer to the feminine energy as Yin and the masculine energy as Yang. Yin and Yang can manifest itself in many ways. Such as our bone structure, vertical lines, facial features, height and the way the flesh covers the bone.
