This blog aims to serve those of us who are fashion conscious and do not know sometimes how to reconcile this with godly living.
As humans we all know beauty but are often confused as to what exactly beauty is. Now there are many philosophical scholars who have tried to argue and define what beauty is and I'm not even going to try to equal any of their findings. Yet, I know the God who made beauty and who appreciates His own creation. Why would He create trees just to look at? If you need references go to Genesis 1.
In fashion this is a little more complex, since we all need clothes. And if you are wondering why, read Genesis 3. God himself became the first dressmaker and clothed Adam and Eve. Therefore we all can appreciate clothes and their beauty and functionality at the same time.
I always appreciate photographers who can capture beauty in ways that show the decay of the world around us in contrast. There are thousands of examples on my favourite art website. With a little browsing under photography you will find many examples - see below...
The sad thing is that fashion has often served those who want to shock and the big design houses are some who have used this tactic. Just look at Alexander McQueen's first couture ranges and you will understand. (I will post pictures soon, since they are not available on the website)
I will refine this theme a little more in the next few post, but for now, I will leave you with two pictures that show the contrast I was talking about earlier.
