Yup, this it is !
With the heat from last year on decluttering, where the
main influence is from Marie Kondo's decluttering technique from “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, this ‘Less is More’ theme will continue to be the talk of the town,
not only in fashion, but also in wellness and a way of life.
Why going minimal?
With advancement of
technology, we are being overwhelmed with information and through decluttering,
break down and re-organized, we will be able to see through what’s most important
to us. We prioritize those needs and reducing the ‘waste’ that it has been with
us, where it further reduces the stuffiness around us. This is one of the tangible
examples of going minimal in living.
In fashion, minimalism is
going clean and simple, ie lesser prints, clean lines and not too excessive.
With this minimalism concept, it streamlines your wardrobe selection, reducing
unwanted time ransacking your closet just to pick out that one outfit. Instead,
the time saved giving you extra time to focus on what’s more important to you
and goes beyond the look.
On a wider perspective,
going minimal is also about reducing waste, leading us to be more conscious
about our surrounding, including the food we eat, the clothes materials we
wear, the things we have etc. This resonates with the trend where fashion designers
and companies have been shifting focus to a greener practices (Eg, H&M’s
Organic Cotton; ASOS’s ecoedit), which they are more concern not only the
design of it but also the materials, the by-product/carbon footprint and the one
who mde it.
