Style icons and fashion critics

According to many designers and journalists, there are no worthy fashion critics in Russia. There were none at the beginning of the formation of Russian fashion, and there are none now. Although we shouldn't be sad, we probably won't need them anymore. The world is changing, and fashion critics are now opinion leaders only for a narrow circle of people, a very narrow ...

Most people not only do not read the publications of fashion critics, they do not even know them to give their opinion at least some weight. It is no wonder the world has changed, today those who are called style icons become opinion leaders. Look at the celebrities called style icons, almost all of them have pages on social networks, where they constantly post photos of their new images and just photos of everyday life.

These celebrities are very different, some actually dress stylishly, others have questionable styles, but they all have many fans and imitators. Therefore, no matter how fashion critics scold Kim Kardashian and Rihanna, no matter how they condemn their style - the leaders of opinion are precisely the stars - Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and many others.

Girls and young women look at their photos on instagram and various internet sites and to a certain extent adopt the style of these celebrities.

Why read long analytical reviews, where a fashion critic or a highly intelligent journalist pours in special obscure terms and tries to show modern fashion through the prism of his refined perception? Why waste time on this and try to understand the philosophizing of fashion critics, if you can quickly and easily see new photos of celebrities, where they honestly show us their images.

Celebrities are indeed much more honest in this regard than many fashion critics. The stars experiment with their style, choose clothes and makeup in accordance with their desires and stylists' advice, and demonstrate to the whole world what they have done.

If you look at the many fashion critics, you get a sense of hypocrisy! How can these people write about fashion and style when they themselves look as if they have never dealt with their appearance and wardrobe? How can you teach me how to dress, how to do makeup, when you yourself don't match what you teach?

The fashion and beauty industry is interesting primarily for girls and young women, they are sensitive to external beauty, and therefore few of the modern fashionistas will seriously listen to the words of Susie Menkes and those like her.

Today's fashion and beauty opinion leaders don't have to shine with exceptional knowledge of fashion and art history. It is much more important to look great and have your own style. Let the style of many celebrities be terrible in the understanding of fashion critics and many other people. It doesn't matter, every star has its own fans, for whom she is a model and a reference point in the fashion world.

Either way, the fashion world has a lot to choose from, which is why we see so many different celebrities called style icons. For some, Kim Kardashian is an example to follow, while others revise old photos of Jacqueline Kennedy, in general - to each his own. The main thing is that now visual information and how you look are in the first place, and fashion critics can only provide abstruse texts that few people now want to read.

In general, it is sad that modern people read less, think less, and look more at pictures and dig into their smartphones. But such is the reality, such is the population ...
