There is no "O" in The Visual Dictionary of Fashion Design. So I had to think of my own word for today. I was trying to think of technical terms, historically relevant events, and even designers. What I then thought of was perfect. It matches my view on what I think fashion should be and how I try to reflect my own personal style.
Opulence
Definition: Wealth, Riches, Influence. In abundance or excess.
When I think of
opulence, I think of the late Gianni Versace. His designs always had an excess of flair, embellishment, and color. Both his lifestyle and his designs exuded wealth, extravagance, and luxury.

Ok, this is me to a T. I love love love Gianni Versace's work. I'll even admit, that I have been called gaudy because of my love for it but I just don't care. I love it that much.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute perfect fit! Also I think of LaCroix from the 80s - super opulent over the top--modeled on religious jeweled clothing.
