The environment changes you.

Take back your right to dress like the unique and amazing creature you are.

The Christian Dior exhibition, which has toured the world from Paris to London and New York, is now at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. This is a significant exhibition, not least because it allows you to see all the pieces created by the creative directors of the past.

I was astonished by the spatial presentation. I have been to many museums in the past, and have also seen another exhibition in the same place, but this was a completely new experience for me. The way Dior’s original, sophisticated dresses were presented took them to another dimension.

The digital space experience of projection mapping of other exhibitions is wonderful, but it is no match for the 75-year history of realism at this exhibition. The sense of time is vague, the dream and reality are also vague, and one wonders how many hours I have spent on this space station-like place. Even if you’re not much into fashion, why not take a ride on a spaceship at least once?

I was once one who was not interested in fashion. However, in my late 20s, I became an apparel shop manager. I started a blog to boost sales, which became a popular blog and attracted a lot of attention, partly because it was unusual at the time. How I wrote the blog was my colleagues taught me about fashion and I wrote daily articles about the ”rules of fashion”. Eventually, I was able to apply the rules of fashion to myself, and people told me I was fashionable.

As an acquired fashionista, when I went to my first primary school class reunion in 20 years, “Who’s that ?” was the cry, and there was an uproar, and I felt that I had changed the atmosphere of the place. Because I was aware that I had changed, I was amused that people didn’t recognize me.

It is hard not to change, as I was cut by a charismatic hairdresser and was the manager of a select shop for a collection brand. And when I look different, I get different reactions from people around me. It seems to have opened another door to a parallel world.

My client asked me, “My colleague is poking at me at work, what can I do to avoid being a target?”

She wears banal, pastel-colored clothes to avoid the hassle of comments from people around her telling her about her clothes. It’s like a rabbit targeted by a lion. What would happen if she wore a black mask and strong individualistic glasses with different frames for the right and left?

The fact is that she used to wear unique clothes, but at some point, she started to choose safe clothes because she was concerned about her surroundings. That would have made her much less confident because her appearance is based on other people’s standards. Surely, if she wears the clothes she likes, her confidence will come from within.

My life has changed since I learned to wear what I want. Take off the clothes you choose based on other people’s standards. And I urge you to wear the clothes you like and experience another dimension at the spaceship-like Dior exhibition and 1D1U Camp! The environment changes you.
