Why do star stylists usually dress less well than stars?

In other words, many styles of star stylists can't even reach the amateur taste in the eyes of the public. ...

They always seem strange, trendy and incomprehensible.

For example, Min Rui, a stylist who entered the public eye last year because of the Elie Saab incident. The shape he designed for the stars is this:

Jing Tian promotes scaffolding building cleaning method.

Timmy Xu attended the Spring Festival Gala.

Nursery rhymes attend only thirty meetings.

But himself, it is like this:

Like this:

And this:

So is Liu Lu, a stylist who is more famous than Min Rui. The star server she designed almost runs counter to her own server.

This is the star:

Classic-Little Yellow Duck

Yao Chen

BiBi Zhou

Without exception, they are neat, concise and exquisite.

But herself, always colorful. From head to toe, there are countless key points and levels:

Big head, big face, 50-50 points, not only not taboo at all, but even generously exposed to everyone.

And Lensbo, who has modeled for Nana Ou-yang, Gina and Song Jia.

His works are like this:

But himself, it is like this:

At first glance, the whole body is "inappropriate". When you meet mean passers-by, you will even give an evaluation that "ugly people make more troubles."

So, why is this happening?

The reason may be as the American writer and cultural critic Fran Le Powitz said:

If you are beautiful, you can wear whatever you want, but natural beauty is one in a million. Most people are not beautiful and need personal style.

As a star stylist who is the closest to a star and used to seeing beautiful faces and delicate bodies, he must be deeply touched by this.

The lack of genes and styles has become a strategy for amateurs to "surprise" their beauty and gain attention.

So we can see that Zhang Jiayi, a stylist in Angela Zhang, responded to the discussion caused by his "Chao Sao Style" like this:

"It's ugly anyway, so don't pretend to be beautiful."

Simply be yourself, show your chest, legs, shoulders, stomach and back, and wear whatever you want. There is no beautiful baggage, giving people a feeling of self-confidence and uninhibited.

In addition, in order to fully explain the phenomenon that stylists' works are very different from their own, we also need to understand the differences in aesthetic thinking and values among professional stylists, designers and amateurs.

Shielding those unattainable and mysterious fashion marketing words, it is precisely because it has built a seemingly insurmountable understanding barrier between amateurs and professionals.

For example, for amateurs, modeling clothing usually has only two purposes, one is functional, such as keeping out the cold and keeping warm; The second is to modify the body lines to increase the appearance charm.

Thinking about appearance is nothing more than spinning around "how to keep warm/cool" and "how to dress well and show your legs and waist", and it is unlikely to produce other ideas.

But for stylists and designers, things are not so simple.

In their eyes, clothes are not only "pants", "dresses" and "suits and jackets" in the eyes of amateurs, but also "an organic combination of materials that wrap the body".

In the eyes of designers, people are used to wearing all kinds of clothes made of cotton, linen, silk and man-made fibers. Just because they make us feel more comfortable than foam board, corrugated paper, toilet paper and plastic sheets. It is not because the latter naturally lacks the possibility of "becoming clothes".

Designer Valesk Jasso Collado uses metal, foam and latex to make concept clothes.

Similarly, in the eyes of stylists and designers, modeling is not just a combination of tops, bottoms, interiors and accessories. Instead, it is "a way to make this person present a certain trait."

Traits can be elegant, obscene, noble and vulgar.

Modeling can be attractive or annoying, and modeling without modeling is also modeling. It is not what pixel people habitually think, "The shape must be beautiful and pleasing to the eye."

This cognitive habit greatly broadens and deepens the understanding of designers and stylists on the essence of modeling. So it is natural that they have a much higher acceptance of modeling than amateurs.

Since they are all clothes, as a man, what's wrong with Min Rui wearing women's clothes?

Liu Lu, who is in her thirties, likes to dress up as a little girl. Who's in the way?

Of course, it does not rule out that these shapes do have elements of grandstanding and flaunting professional identity at some time. But on the whole, they are the result of their unique aesthetic logic and natural output.

Except for the different understanding of "what is modeling". The expectations of the public, stylists and designers on "what modeling can do" are also quite different.

For example, Lu Lu said in an interview:

Fashion is just something floating on the surface of my work. First of all, I actually want to tell a story.

"The stylist's job is just to tell stories with pictures."

As we all know, Issey Miyake also pays attention to clothing as a media.

"When I saw that my clothes were worn out, our communication was completed."

It can be seen that the difference between amateurs and stylists and designers lies not only in the differences in color and collocation sensitivity.

More importantly, people's understanding of basic concepts such as clothing and modeling is very different.

Issey Miyake's classic piece of cloth.

In addition, unlike painting, sculpture and movies, clothing modeling aesthetics is very social. We thought that only we could decide our own styling style, but in fact we were not.

If you know it carefully, you will find it.

Look at your eyes in the mirror, besides yourself, there are actually bosses, colleagues, customers, subordinates, classmates, friends, parents, partners, stars, fashionistas and bloggers. ...

As social people, we rarely or hardly let our eyes, feelings, thinking and values determine what clothes we wear and what hairstyle we wear.

For example, Katie westwood's "Mom Watch Fight" hair color in "Ukrainian Internet Celebrity":

Do you like it? I like it. Dare to dye it? Dare not dye.

This is the most fundamental difference between us and those "stylist" (stylelist is usually translated as stylelist).

Take Fran Le Powitz, a cultural observer who entered the domestic audience's field of vision this year because of the documentary Pretending to be a City, as mentioned just now.

Born in 1950, she abandoned teenage girls at the age of 20 and began to wear a wide suit jacket+straight jeans+cowboy boots until today.

In the past 50 years, she has become a style idol sought after by fashionistas in an anti-fashion way.

In her aesthetics, making herself feel good is the premise of all good styles. Feeling good about a suit is the key to its final improvement. )

"People should find clothes that make them feel comfortable physically and mentally, and then treat them well."

"Before talking about style, people should learn to care about some things and keep clothes that attract us. In this process, we will know what is important to us and what can be discarded after use. "

There are not many patterns, but they are generally very textured.

From this perspective, a person's style should be introverted, not extroverted.

Fran Le Powitz's jeans are as simple as the working class, with shiny leather gloves in his chest pocket to pretend to be brooches;

Fran? ois Hardy's playful newsboy hat and makeup that insists on not wearing rouge and lipstick;

Hooper has been walking the red carpet in Armani tuxedo for twenty years;

Even Jobs' Issey Miyake turtleneck black sweater:

Adidas slippers in mark zuckerberg:

Everyone is telling us that fashion items and clothes should be the external expression of a person's spiritual characteristics and values, not the other way around, which makes us very sad, because we are not like a "hanger" enough.

Therefore, before the appearance of style, we will need a process of continuous dialogue with ourselves.

"Know yourself" means not only knowing whether you are apple-shaped or pear-shaped, shoulder width or waist length, but also your personality traits, acting style and your yearning.

If you are quiet, the playful girlish style in South France is beautiful, and it has nothing to do with the style you are exploring.

If you are enthusiastic, the cold wind of black, white, gray and brown definitely belongs to the category of "lightning protection".

If you are high-spirited and competitive, the romantic and procrastinating literary style will not make you feel "at home" even if you have a tone.

Only by clarifying these, matching skills and color matching knowledge can really contribute to your style beauty.

Otherwise, after learning a lot of modeling skills, you can only "dress well", which has nothing to do with style. Dressing well is always the king of genes with small head and long body.
