Okay so I'm not a particularly 'fashion aware' person, like I read vogue and have a tumblr and take an interest in models and whatnot but I don't claim to have an extended knowledge on this topic. But there's something that's really not working for me of late and that is the 'fashionistas' of today who have watched the Victorias Secret show in 2012 and now think they have a huge knowledge on models. Now, I myself watched the show but it was more so I could get motivation to get a body like Candice's but there are so many people who upon watching the show now have a feigned interest in fashion and an obsession with Cara Delevigne. The only thing I can compare this to is when the Notebook came out and everyone suddenly loved Ryan Gosling.

Don't get me wrong, I love Cara because she's crazy and isn't so serious in photos but I cannot even put into words how much it shits me when people (mostly 14 year olds who went through the hipster phase but are now moving into the vs phase) talk to me about how much they adore fashion and how Adriana Lima is so revolutionary and how the new Versace line is oh so chic. Especially when they start talking in French to seem high fashion when they don't realise that 'Oh la la' actually means oh dear.

I feel really pretentious and stupid writing these because by no means am I a fashion extraordinaire but I do know the difference between a high fashion model and a commercial model and I can appreciate that the two have a pretty vast difference and while I can appreciate both, I'm not going to pretend that a Victoria's Secret show is the same as a Stella McCartney or Romance Was Born.

I'm going to end this here because I feel like an absolute wanker writing this but I'll end with a few photos.
