Does our “fashion” and wearable art (i.e. our clothing) define us?

I am fascinated by this! We all know if you dress “better” you feel “better.” How much do you think about your “personal style” and the ID tags you attach to that? Hmmm – just fascinating.

From a site I enjoy called Design You Trust, I came across this man named Dean Christian.(link)  Here is his take. Check out his website for more info and images. According to his twitter page he is a Fashion/portrait photography student in LA. I think he is a good find to watch.

“Clothes are a funny thing. When we put a certain piece of clothing on it can change us. It affects how we feel, how we walk down the street, how we go about our day. For many, style is a form of self-expression. You can often tell how a person is feeling by what they are wearing.

But does our style define us as an individual? Does it ultimately replace one’s identity?” – Dean

Here is Birdelli with and without…. hmmmmm

The ID of clothing
Can you see yourself in this outfit? Well, OK, maybe without the hat!
