Vrcavo pokažite malo gole kože, a u isto vreme ostanite u granicama prikladnog Unpretentiously expose a little bare skin, while at the same time staying within the boundaries of what’s appropriate

Monocolour pieces always give preference to the cut, which is also what renders them timeless

priate emphasising of curves, au- daciousness, provocativeness, but with a measure that never exceeds the limits of taste. Another thing that’s no less im- portant and has been emphasised in the fashion world over recent years is the gender neutral or unisex style. It’s true that Coco Chanel redesigned models from the men’s wardrobe and transferred them to womens- wear long ago, so unisex is noth- ing new, but it is once again in fo- cus. Apart from that, it is also fairly neutral, which again serves to couch it in the new fashion mantra - uni- versality. Despite being adjusted to trends every year, it is still somehow timeless, which makes it acceptable from the perspective of sustaina- ble fashion. It traverses styles, so

you can spot it in denim shorts with frayed edges, long skirts with slant- ed cuts, cardigans with pointed ends and fold-over shirts, while its fem- inine face glistens on long formal gowns with one exposed shoulder. While on the one hand it em- phasises femininity, revealing a little and hiding a little, it never brings the contours of the figure to the fore, so asymmetry doesn’t discriminate in clothing size, age or occupation, re- gardless of how you’re built. Although it is universally ac- cepted worldwide, asymmetrical design is most strongly linked to Japan. And the Japanese also gave us deconstruction, crazy street style, minimalism and most fashion ele- ments that have a specific fashion vibe. Extravagance, rebelliousness

or just difference, it’s all asymme- try, or a vociferous fashion rebel- lion against uniformity. We aren’t all the same! And to conclude, symmetry ar- rived with the industrial revolution that led to the reducing of manual production. It did make production cheaper and enable the mass produc- tion of more affordable designs, but it also simplified those designs. In our rush towards the cheapest pos- sible items with a super short shelf life, we arrived at that which fash- ion never wanted to be: uniform- ity and unanimity. Handmade de- signs are never identical, and nor are we. They may still be too expensive for us, but consider asymmetry be- cause it states - I have experience; I know who I am and what I’m doing.
