Key Philosophy

Now, Here's my Key Philosophy....Fashion comes from within. Fashion should not be an externality that someone observes, likes, and incorporates.... thats not fashion, thats pure submission. Instead, it should be a reflection of one's inner soul, their personality shining forth through the grace with which they carry themselves, dress themselves, and somewhat find themselves- all this in the clothes they wear. Some take fashion too seriously, so seriously they close off to everything but what is put on the pedestal of style... other more open minded characters find meaning or creativity in dressing such as vintage mixed with new, mixed with high labels mixed with humble, mixed with a scarf found in the bottom of your drawer made into a belt, mixed with custom shoes, and grandma's old purse. Such is fashion. Some already have it, and master it as they stroll the streets, every outfit an art. Some don't have it nor ever will, stuck to labels and expectations. The rest of us are trying still to discover what it takes, and if maybe we will get it.

Take a look at Mark the Cobrasnake's Photo Compilation- the perfect example. On his journeys around the world, The Cobrasnake has taken it upon himself to document the world's parties by photo. Internationally, these people have style, they're quirky, they're grungy, yes, sometimes they tend to fall into the rocker, leather, black pattern but as a whole they have a style that reflects who they are, and most importantly, they reflect our times.

Now...

Mark Ronson's adorable girlfriend, Tennessee Thomas, is another exquisite example. She is the daughter of Rock and Roller Hall of Famer, Pete Thomas of Elvis Costello, and is known for piecing her outfits from a variety of sources.

She shops LA vintage and her little girl attire consists of lace, doll dresses, hearts, oxfords, and baskets and has made her an "IT" girl in the world of fashion. She is a drummer for the band, "The Like"... come to think of it, I may highlight them in the near future as the Fashion in the Music Industry of the Week...

And thats they key, reflection of the inner person,expreesing quirkiness, individuality, niches, talents, desires, and experiments. We are not mannequins, The Generation is unique.

And P.S: Listen to this song, Wolf Like Me, TV on the Radio!!!
