THE FUNCTIONAL CREATIVE

by Bryan Johnny November 27, 2020

Have you ever had an idea for an outfit, gotten dressed, looked in the mirror and something is just off. Or just didn't quite go as planned?

Don't worry we've got you.

This is an issue that we come across all the time, and have been looking for solutions to solve this problem and or just make your fits feel.... well more you.

First off, pour yourself a glass of VIVANTERRE wine or pop a top off your fave IPA... sometimes this helps to loosen your creative juices. (please advice a doctor first)

Upon near and far search on ways to solve this cringe worthy annoying habit we have, we came across one of our favorite designers, TIBI, for some tips.

THE CREATIVE PRAGMATIST

Now that you are probably a few sips down on those tasty thirst quenchers, let me break this down for you in simple terms......

When putting looks together here are a few tips on keeping the edge (people on their toes) and being comfortable. yes COMFORTABLE! I think when putting looks together people don't necessarily think of comfortable in their fashion vocab., which therefore end up putting looks together that are extreme yet end up feeling UNcomfortable and maybe don't quite have that cool "it" factor.

Is this maybe you??

When putting looks together think of these key subjects:

Does my look have a MODERN aspect?

Does my look have CHILL?

Does my look feel CLASSIC?

keeping these 3 key points to all your looks whether it be going to work, dinner and drinks/brunch with your buddies, or a fun fabulous moment i.e. event, gallery opening, rooftop party etc. etc.

keeping these 3 elements together can really just make your outfit go from "oh, she's cute" to "who's that? she has style"

Below are a few examples on how to keep "your cool"

We have paired our AW2020 COLLECTION with items that you might already have in your wardrobe and that really emulate these elements and show you how to achieve these looks 3 different ways.

I mean, who doesn't like bang for their buck? right?
