Details and personal thoughts
by Unknown
I've been really focused on details for some time now. It's something I need to be, cause of my prep for college and some other things I've been doing.
It's interesting, how people rarely pay attention to small things that make a whole. Be it a bunch or a lack of details- they make impressions and feelings- make you determine (unconsciously) if you like something or not.
That plus my recent kind-of-romanticized view on things resulted in a collection of pictures mostly from Tumblr that emphasize on details and soft impressions.
(I wish I had descriptions to all photos- unfortunately just for few)
Valentin Yudashkin made the most feminine collection for 2015.
Ethereal silhouettes with delicate and elegant floral pieces accompanied with juxtaposed metallic filigree looked strikingly luxurious. They reminded me of fairytales or walking vases. Just like princesses or nymphs- the collection is most dreamy and romantic that it could possibly be.
Imagine people focusing on the smallest parts of statues, buildings and clothes- how they worked on those small parts detailing them and making them a whole. It's magnificent how it was done in the past. People had the time and energy to go in for days and weeks working on something. Today everyone's escaping to machinery and looking for quick solutions.

It's sad how today's habits made people forget to focus on smaller parts of bigger pictures. We pay little attention to objects and places surrounding us- appearance has started to loose its purpose (hence, the birth of minimalism). Buildings today have only the purpose of holding offices and housing people- not glorifying a certain style. Living the fast urban life makes it impossible to focus on details. Fashion has become cleaner. Architecture has became smooth, detail-less and plain. It's not bad- it's the new style, but it's also a product of the time we live in.
We celebrate art that's hundreds, thousands of years old- but we're unable to produce our own that be worth the same praise.
It seems to me that fashion and haute couture has started detailing more and more, as everything else from architecture and art, has started declining in the same. Maybe it's because clothes are the something we concentrate on the most nowadays. What we put on ourselves, weather we like it or not, always says something about us and creates an image in other's eyes.

That's how haute couture was born- unwearable masterpieces that are almost museum-worthy. It's a beautiful evolution- how our understanding of beauty transcended to fashion.
Salvatore Ferragamo 2012
It's the way it should be- everything is evolving and so is art and we're moving ahead. There is beauty in minimalism and clean art and it reflects our state of mind. There's only hope that we'll all slow down some time soon and start paying attention more.
