ANALYSE
This method reveals individual style by analyzing the face in artistic terminology. It reveals the essence of the face as a work of art and gives us the key to personal style.
There are no standards of beauty. There are no subjective views. There are elementary forms and an artistic language - the character of line, shape, texture, rhythm, scale, proportion.
The main task is to find a style era that is close to the facial features. By capturing the character of the face and the corresponding era, we translate these elements into clothing. Fabric textures, contour lines, model shapes and cut details create a harmonious overall composition.
The natural colors of eyes, hair and skin and their contrast with each other form the basis for choosing the color scale of the wardrobe. This is especially important for portraits. The color palette of the particular style also plays a role.
The body analysis is carried out using photographs that visually show the individual characteristics of the figure, possible asymmetries and proportions. On this basis, the overall image can be visually corrected through cut, proportions and composition.
The analysis helps us to better understand our own appearance and to use clothing as an extension of our individual natural expression.
STIL
A style space is a set of visual features that are characteristic of a particular era or period.
In architecture, painting and sculpture, the philosophy of time manifests itself and creates a unique artistic space with its own laws of plasticity, the nuances of light, the rhythm of lines, shapes and colors.
Each of these elements has its own character and its own emotional message. When one of them dominates, we speak of “light-bearing painting”, “unusually constructive graphics” or the “plastic musicality of a work of art”.
Just as an artist paints translucent landscapes in watercolor or dramatic themes in oil, a designer creates his sculptural compositions in chiffon or tweed.
Style can be expressed through color, texture, shape and pattern - any one of these artistic elements is enough to add a personal touch to a look.
STYLE DEVELOPMENT
Here it is important to engage with art in depth in order to internalize the new image. This can be done through paintings, architecture, historical films, as well as self-study of the culture of the corresponding stylistic periods.
Shape and texture are fundamental to characterizing any style. Shape depends on the texture of the fabric. Next come the aspects of color and pattern. This is the basis.
One possible approach would be to use accessories, for example. This can have an immediate effect, as they are in direct contact with the face. It is recommended to continually work on developing your own style and to always be on the lookout for new, inspiring impulses. This is a process that takes time.
Pinterest provides a practical platform to collect visual codes for your own style, create a mood board for your wardrobe and search for ideas and inspiration.
