we all reuse

The old saying “first impressions count” has never been truer in our image driven society. Our senses are under constant attack, from adverts, the media, and the sheer amount of cultural noise around us.

In order for us to take notice, this cacophony will have to be drowned out by something literally out of the ordinary.

Glamour, that hard to define quality that makes you stop in your tracks to take a second look, or decide to really ring back the morning after, will always do the trick.

Like the stock market, hemlines have been rising and falling since the 1920s.

Many think that shorter hemlines appear during times of a good economy, and longer hemlines mean an economic recession. The cost of the cloth does not seem to matter.

Fashion no longer seems to go in such long cycles - we have designers showing micro minis and floor sweeping skirts every season.

What seems to be more relevant now is the cut of the cloth, especially around the body itself.
