How does fashion and trends influence your image?

 We are slaves to the image, we follow fashions, trends and sometimes that leads us to go (just for fashion) with an image that does not suit us "but it works." So consciously or unconsciously we adapt our personal style and image to our environment.

The image surrounds us without realizing it, it influences our lives and everything we do. Have you noticed that...?

• We take care (or not) of what we eat… by image
• We go to the gym, we run, we do yoga...largely because of image
• The first thing we judge in others... is their image
• We buy clothes, accessories, complements… by image
• We surround ourselves with certain people…by image
• We frequent certain restaurants and bars…per image
• We take care of what we say and how we behave… to maintain a certain image

All the things and objects we see have an image and we capture this through four essential values: shapes, color, volume and texture. We position this transmitted image within a certain style: rustic, modern, sporty, classic, etc. or a new style when we don't know where to place it because it is the first time we see it.

Our image will give us our personal style, which we transmit to our environment and that is why, when we want to be elegant at a dinner, urban at the movies or comfortable on a walk, we comb our hair and combine the colors, textures and shapes of our wardrobe or accessories. according to that image or style that we want to convey. We make changes and mixes of the pieces of our wardrobe, makeup and accessories until we achieve it.

Our mood also influences and marks our image and therefore our style, we do not use the same colors, nor do we comb our hair the same if we are sad or happy. Even depending on the weather that day, or the season of the year, we modify our image. Everything of course changes with changes in jobs, friends, partners...

Sometimes if we are not used to a certain image we are uncomfortable and we look strange, even if others do not notice. We always want to know the opinion of our closest people and we apply the typical "how do you see me?", for example if we wear the suit and we are not used to it. The social and psychological aspect of the human being needs to feel accepted and integrated into a group.

Thanks to globalization and communication, it only takes a short time for this fashion to reach the streets through the media such as: television, specific programs, magazines, advertisements, public figures, etc... It is a frenetic activity, since when it is still no we have not gotten used to a new one is already emerging. Although many of the fashions or trends are ungerminated seeds in mass consumption, or are only used by a minority.

Do you realize how fashion and trends influence your image and personal style?

"For this reason, I believe that the right thing to do is to live with the times, to feel integrated into the moment we live in using current customs and fashions but without forgetting to be oneself and be as free as possible in the choice, which ALWAYS transmits our personality and differentiation".
