My concept of a curated wardrobe as both a new luxury and a new hallmark of the stylish has attracted a broad scope of attention. Part of the negative attention has come about because there's a big and inaccurate blur between the words 'style', 'fashion' and 'clothing', and as a result fashion and the act of purchasing clothing are often mistaken as the same thing. The fashion industry is a business - it needs us to shop and it encourages us to do so. While there's certainly nothing wrong with that, it has been one of the factors that has led to the need for wardrobe curation in the first place. Thus some have seen the curated wardrobe as anti the fashion industry. It's not. I'm not suggesting we stop shopping or even spend less, but simply that we need to stop buying average pieces.
As I see it, for a fashioniser, clothes and accessories are an extension of their personality. We wear the pieces we believe represent not only who we are, but who we aspire to be. On one level at least, we use fashion to say where we're going in life. In such a world view, average pieces have little place. That concept of self-projection, on wanting to be more than average, raises a question for the clothing in your wardrobe:
Does it represent you? Or is your wardrobe filled with too many average pieces?
