Blogpost 7: Dress-up like a mermaid

Fashion doen't mean all about recycled or elegance but it is also means fantasies like ways. For example Mermaids represents feminism and represents how woman should act and look like. Fashion was been inspired ones by mermaids but in a realistic way to define it. It maybe varies on different aspects like love or elegance occasionally. This is inspired by their own ideas such as designing mermaid like dresses

I've read an article entitled"Mermaid Fashion Inspiration" by Shitika Anand from the site www
.fashionising.com the author said, "Urban mermaid: style from the sea.Walt Disney fairytales made mermaids, oysters, pearls, and glitter seem whimsical; but the fashion crowd have claimed the look  and given it in an urban edge in 2012."

The author said in her article that the famous Chanel also have this inspired fashion look about mermaids. Thus, making them sensitive to the needs of the community and they based it to their moods and to the modern society.In the old ages mermaids are being describe by the people as a maiden who is a half-fish and people has been scared of. It also inspired by the looks of the mermaids like their glamorous tail and relate it to how well do the crowd accept it. Underwater effects may connect for their mermaid inspired dressess like bubbles, pearls, corals, oysters, fishes and other aquatic animals. Mermaid fashion can be also be recognized like how to wear it, hair and beauty inspiration.

Mermaids are also been inspired by many creative designer but of course they might have seen images or images of it. We all know that when were young mermaids barbie dolls make us funny not just in our own way but can also play inderwater when want to swim or play. But because of our changing society mermaids improved there own style. They made them or inspired mermaids by styling their own designs maybe maid from shimmering colours of it like every mermaid-like would be.

I've read an article entitled"2014 Is the Year of the Mermaid" by Halley Lawrence from the site www.groupon.com the author said "For countless kids, Disney's The little Mermaid was just confusing. Who would want to give up life as a mermaid; they wondered. These kids soon realized the question was moot. Their dreams of accessing an underwater world- and of propelling themselves through it was a sinuous, scaly tail -were impossible."


A mermaid-tail designer and a full-time mermaid model explain in the article why the year 2014's boldest swimwear trend is actually an environmentalist statement. For the Mertailor Ducharme, he stated that wearing a tail allows a person to join in and feel the part of the water element. And now he aims to draw the attention to the environmental issues that affect marine life simultaneously while it fulfills some people's childhood dream. When asked about the growing popularity of mermaid culture, Ducharme named Hannah Fraser as one of the most influential stars because Hannah is a model and activist who protested the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. Fraser has made a full-time job out of mermaiding and she wears her tail to draw attention to environmental issues.


"The ocean is the birthplace of all life on earth, and the mermaid is a visual representation of the bridge between humans and the sea."  Halley Lawrence says.

I agree that mermaids are visual representation of the bridge between the human and the sea because some of the fashion trends today are mostly mermaid-inspired styles and an example of that is the sea-colored ombre "mermaid hair". Wearing dresses maybe the boldest part of who you really but I think that the way is you to communicate with others is the best way to know yourself not because of your fancy or elegant dress.


When asked about our growing popularity maybe it may vary to what they really want to express. Because of what Ducharme said is all of our visual representation will be the fashion of who you are. If really take care of what the oceans, seas etc. give to you maybe our next will be able to see the beauty of it and even they will think about the things they want to imagine under the sea.
