We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. -Goethe (McKenna)

Welcome to lookbook.nu, a blog of "collective fashion consciousness," where people from around the world daily post pictures of their own personal style and fashion.

Jane Fonda said, ""Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style."  We talked in class about how we each need to develop our own style when it comes to advertising.  I think that type of style is definitely like fashion style- it should become our personal and unique voice.  I also thought it interesting, looking at these pictures, how there are some similarities but no two looks are the same.  It reminded me of how Foster (our book's author) talked about thousands of solutions to every problem.  Fashion has always been excellent at evolving, inventing, and adapting- we should try to do the same.

Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.  Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

  2. I love looking at people's style. It really does tell a lot about them. Is it just me or does anybody else tend to think that advertising students (or comm students in general) tend to have more or their own unique style compared to most? Not as a whole, but as individuals. ps i love your coco chanel quote.seriously legit.-EliseM

  6. Crap I accidentally deleted my post.
    This site does exactly what companies pay thousands of dollars to market researchers to do! They pay to locate the trendsetters and see what's going to be "cool" next, and then mass produce it. How convenient its all on one site and posted by the outfit artists themselves. We better not let walmart's guys find this or EVERYONE will be wearing these exact outfits
