Soundtrack to my life

I'm quite a sucker when it is about the culture and different forms of art. I consider fashion and fashion design as an form of art, BUT I don't consider every fashion designer as an artist. Designers who only "design" nice clothes to sell well are not artists, they are only very creative marketers. Designers who in the other hand take risks and try to create something new and avant-garde, can be deliberated as a true artists. Just my opinion - obviously.

Other forms of art and culture that are part of my everyday life are movies and music. I try to listen different kind of music as much it is even possible. I'm alway introducing myself to a new artists to get inspired by, and I find it very liberating when I can't classify myself to a specific music genre.
     What comes to movies, I'm always looking for things that has a controversial mark on it, because things that put people to think about ethics are always the most powerfull review of experiences. Powerfull story with beautifully build characters and nice visual appearance - plus perfect soundtrack of course - are the things I'm always searching for from the movies I watch. There is the reason why movie directors like Darren Aronofsky, David Lynch, Gaspar Noé, Lars von Trier, Stanley Kubrick and obviously Quentin Tarantino are on the top of my list. They all have the gift to tell a story in a unique way and that's something what should be cherished to the next generations.
     As I told, music plays big part in my movie experiences and I'm always searching for the perfect movie soundtracks. Making the perfect soundtrack to a movie must be hard, 'cause the emotions that are happening on screen must reflect to the music that plays in the background. Usually it is the music that brings the emotions alive and brings the tears or the happiness or even maybe anger to the audience.
I gathered some of my favourite songs from a different movies, as you can see above.  All the songs are kind of grandiose, but all of them fit perfectly to the movies which they are played at.

Pictures are from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Lars Von Trier's Antichrist, Gaspar Noé's Irréversible and von Trier's Melancholia.

There is hundreds of thousands, I'm guessing millions, personal style and fashion related blogs out there. Blogs that tell stories about fashion and the mysterious world of fashion, but none of them actually tell about the deeper meanings of fashion. I guess most of the people consider fashion only as a superficial billion dollar business, which it is obviously, but I can see something much more in it. I see behind the changing trends, the gorgeous editorial shoots and inspirational catwalk pictures. I see cultural references, stories and a part of history that will last years and years after we are gone. If you think about Medieval era, the time when kings and queens ruled the mighty Europe, don't you think about the clothes and armours they were wearing? That time trends lasted for years, as for now they remain on the surface approximately two to three months. Maybe not even that long. We live in a world of fast fashion where nothing lasts forever. New designers, new trends, things change all the time. And though things change quickly, everybody wants to look trendy and fashionable all the time. The time period of mass fashion is here to stay and the exclusivity of fashion is gone - for good.

I came up with this blog because I thought it would be nice to write some things up, like in to a diary. So let this be the fashionable diary of mine, where I share my thoughts about the always changing world of fashion. Feel free to share your thoughts and visions, anything that comes to your mind.

AND though english ain't my native language, I thought it would be nice to write this in english, 'cause you never know when it comes handy to know thing or two about writing in english. Let's just say that my future plans include a move to a new country...

Peace out, xxx!
