🇬🇧 3 items that every man must have to be well dressed

In this text I will talk about 3 items that every man must have to be well dressed . I'm Nycka Nunes, a stylist with more than four decades of experience in the fashion industry and I work with personal image as a non-verbal communication tool. And so don't expect shallow approaches from me, which please the masses and are easy for anyone to adopt. What is easy and shallow is vulgar, it has no strength in terms of non-verbal communication. It just presents you as a worthless commodity. I have already mentioned in previous texts that, for example, black and navy blue suits tend to reflect an excessively conservative image, and, almost always, inconsistent with the personality of those who wear them. Few people are as conservative as that. And that doesn't mean you should go around in a neon green suit. That would be an irrational way of being different. All over the world there are men who dress in the most varied ways. Most just imitate what their peers wear. And that...

🌍 Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2023 (prêt-à-porter)

Today is the day to talk about Schiaparelli's fall/winter 2023 prêt-à-porter collection show, presenting what I liked and didn't like about the collection. If you fell by parachute here, I warn you that this text is from the point of view of personal style as a non-verbal communication tool, with many doses of personal opinion that do not exist in my style consultancy, because the objective of the text is not do free consultation. The brand chose to show only thin models, and has clothes for all body types. You may not be able to tell which pieces best suit your body type, but I see it even better in thin models than in plus size ones, because the clothes are in evidence. And that's the purpose of the models. The colour palette for the show was shades of black, white, brown, gold and blue. They also had some red bags to break the chromatic monotony. I've talked several times here on the blog about neutral colours. Research or hire a consultancy. The worst mistake I s...

🇬🇧 The fallacy of fat phobia in the fashion industry

I've already talked about why catwalk models are traditionally tall and thin. The media has been shamefully spreading disinformation, and I'm going to explain today the big lie about fat phobia in fashion. It's a lie because whoever maintains that this exists must never have studied pattern making and expansion of patterns, just to stick to a point that would give a lot of clarity about reality. As I said in another text, the larger the size a person wears, the greater the differences between physical types. Therefore, even the plus size models that we currently see in the fashion shows of big brands are women with rectangular physiques or wide hourglasses. Women without a prominent belly. Not every fat person who wears the same pieces they wore in the shows will have the same result. And I'm not even going to address personal colour differences here. It's just a magazine article, not a master's thesis. Fashion was never prejudiced with sizes. There is, of cours...
