For the Love of Couture

As we say goodbye to winters, we also say goodbye to our Choos and Louboutins boots. As soon as summers first ray hit our windows we drool all over labeled lawns. I myself am the biggest fan of high street fashion but what I don’t get today is that why do I see more Birkins and Hermes then they are actually manufactured? Is it because they are the new “it” thing after Louis Vuitton bags? Or is it that people have forgotten how to make a style statement without these trade marks of class? When your style shouts out casual and free why do you have to carry Vuitton’s most expensive and spohisticated bag? Just because its coming in every page of Vogue? Or if you have a slightly “ biker bad girl” personality towards you why not carry a Mcqueen and look like a rockstar? Is it because brands and labels have made us forget who our inner self is? Or is it that the social crowd around us wont let us be who we are?

So ladies for the love of couture and high fashion, let this year be the year you find out your inner self and it wont harm you if you just make a style statement of your own for once? Why follow when you can lead? Wear Burberry’s new high waisted pants collection or let them be Khaadi’s most casual kurtas! And I would like to finish my blog with Coco Chanel’s most famous quote that is the best way to sum up my whole thought “I don’t do fashion, I am fashion!”
