“Our society is used to treating clothes, hair, accessories, and fashion in general in a very practical way. Today, I will prove to you why this is completely wrong…” And so Maria Raveendran's talk at TEDxUTSC began when she was called upon to explain the importance of fashion within 15 minutes. Because the clothes and accessories we wear, the way we decide to do our hair or the color we will paint our nails, can change or even mutate our lives.
Since the beginning of the world and the first humans, Adam and Eve, clothes have had one and only purpose, to cover the human body. Pieces of fabric held together with special bonds were the beginning of fashion, which then of course evolved, with more special fabrics and jewelry as a sign of wealth. But what happens beyond that? Beyond the practical side of fashion? "Change your wardrobe, change your life," argues Gillian Dunn and bases her entire speech around the insider part of fashion. That is, the one that escapes from the basic need for clothing and goes one step further, to the need to feel beautiful, to feel good about ourselves and ultimately, to have self-confidence. When we believe in ourselves, that we can achieve everything, we start not to compromise, to chase the best. And chasing the best, we achieve more and more small goals on our way to the top. So starting from our own wardrobe, we end up with a radical lifestyle change, with chain events that lead to one another. Because that's exactly what fashion is. Inspiration, dream, expectation. So let's ask ourselves, "Who am I and how I want to show up in the world?" and let's start dressing like the person we are or want to be! And because a good source of inspiration is always necessary, dedicate 83 minutes of your everyday life to great speeches by women who give the term "fashion" the multifaceted and multidimensional character it deserves.
