Fashion identity is not about having designer clothes. It is about expression. This is why some enthusiasts sew their own clothes because some brand cannot achieve their look.
If you do not know how to sew, then maybe you should consider building a fashion identity with local clothing brands in Singapore. Here are some tips on how you can start,
Know who you are
Before you move on to the tangible elements of identity, first, you need to know what defines you. What’s your personality? What’s your mission? These questions may evoke some kind of understanding of what your goal is.
Look for inspirations
A good start is to look at fashion magazines or watch runways from big fashion brands. Sometimes, this might only take one shopping trip down Orchard road to see local clothing brands that are unique and designed by local artists.
Create a colour palette
Some identity starts with a favourite colour. You can find this in traditional local patterns originated in Singapore itself. Local brands of bags are using them now create more culturally-attached pieces that are loved by many.
Ask for opinions
Store staff are easy to approach if you are in need of help or opinion for your look. They could give you insights on how to improve your overall look. This is the fun in shopping, and in a way, you also entertain the staff.
Match it with your attitude
Famous people have used fashion to a persona like how a white halter dress is associated with Marilyn Monroe. You can also attach yourself with one piece of clothing, could be a hat or leather pants.
Clothes are all about how you wear it and how you make it yours. Whatever you choose, always remember to enjoy it. You could support the local economy by shopping in Singapore. Check out Design Orchard for more local clothing brands, visit their website https://www.designorchard.sg.
