In Russian it sounds more poetic : "Staroye-Dobroye".
Everything past and last always seem to be something beautiful and unattainable,something,which we can't return to nowadays. Usually it includes all our nostalgic thoughts and memories, all "our retro" moments,steps and stupid-carefree sounded words and phrases,which we wanted to change many times later.
Sometimes you can be distanted from this "old-kind" nostalgy for ages. Sometimes only for minutes - that's very personal. But in any cases and situations you will feel this "retro" life,which had been so much time ago,as it seems to be, just by getting to your last home, wearing your last uniform, even eating an apricot jam- you will remember your grandma's one. Nostalgy is a very strong and specific feeling.

Fashion has its own "old- kind" nostalgy too. But if in each person's life nostalgy is a very private subject, in fashion this one is a nostalgy of all the world's common history and stories, of all common thoughts and people,of all commom memories. Fashion includes all our nostalgy in it. The difference is that we keep it as a top-secret, but fashion keep it as a global trend.

A "recycling" of retro in the modern fashion . Street Style. Taken from an unknown blog. A Russian Street Style,if I don't make a mistake. There's some up-grated and recycled "old-kind" too. An outfit from the last Paris Fashion Week,a street style. As for me,it's a perfect transformation from "an up-grated retro" to a modern "fashionable outfit with a retro spirit". There's a big difference between two these terms. Taken from www.lookatme.ru either. |

ReplyDeleteamazing post!
Hi Katya,
ReplyDeleteI love your post. Some people seem to always be looking for new and the latest and greatest. I think it is important to cultivate that nostalgia, so that we can keep the good from our past and improve our mistakes. By the way, I loved your comments, and I am very glad you liked my postcard. Chocolate and bacon are an amazing combination, by the way. Sweet and salty.
Thanks!
