S.H.E Theory of Fashion Evolution
From being teenagers, to twenty-something young girls to the youthful mature ladies of today, from a somewhat unrefined ragtag team to creating their own fashion attitude today, how did S.H.E evolve? Bella brought the stylist for the stars Sun Chen to examine the process of S.H.E’s fashion evolution as well as inviting S.H.E to list what they want to buy the most this season. Sharing their respective fashion philosophy so that you can evolve along with them!
S.H.E – The Path To Fashion
From the Beginning
Stylist Sun Chen
[When I first started as their stylist, I felt that these three little girls were a ragtag team that came from different places. There was no uniformed sense of direction. But slowly, through their own efforts, constant practices and inner attitude, they developed a unique fashion sense. Regardless whether it was dressing like a regular girl on the street or wearing designer brand such as Kawakubo, they still maintained the innocence that they had in the beginning, regardless whether it was neutral, sweet or distinctive, it all worked.
Now, the way they dressed is even more mature, as they aged, from the sweet and adorable style of a young girl with complicated lines or accessories in the beginning, it has transformed into a clean and simple style that emphasize fashionable lines, using their own uniqueness to bring out the distinctive aspects of their images, allowing themselves to control what they wear and not let the clothing controlling them.]
Selina
Fashion Necessities – Bag and Shoes
S.H.E whose goal was to deliver happiness and hope since they entered showbiz, out of the three, Selina was the most feminine. When asked about her principles of fashion, she said: [My principle of fashion is mainly to be feminine. Other than being feminine, feminine, feminine, it is still being feminine.] Sometimes pure and innocent, sometimes sexy and form-fitting, it was a feminine style that was ever-changing with different facets. [For example, I often would match an one-piece long top with tights. This way, it is relaxing and demonstrating feminine curves at the same time. It still maintained my style.]
As she entered the stage of a youthful mature lady with the passing of the years, Selina felt that her attitude towards herself should be even more honest. She said that just like the lyrics of the first release from the new album [My Station FM S.H.E]: “Life is not a beauty pageant, don’t worry about not looking good enough and overlook one’s most unique natural beauty and inner beauty…] Using an optimistic attitude and strive to be your own number one, that is the most fashionable look!
And being fashionable did not mean spending lots of money. It was in knowing the right methods and knowing to add that extra touch! For example, she felt that female fashion necessities were bags and shoes. Using these two types of accessories could easily changed common and less expensive clothing into being fashionable and stylish. In particular, she placed most importance on bags. What she was most concerned with was whether the material was easy to clean. [Because it is of cloth material, it gets dirty easily but hard to clean. That would be very problematic.] She said resignedly. Therefore, she almost never uses bags made with white cloth anymore.
Ella
Comfort is Number 1 – Playing Around and Crossing Gender Boundary
Of the three, leaning more towards neutral in terms of both style and appearance was Ella. Because of her outgoing and active personality, her normal attire mainly geared toward being relaxed and comfortable. She liked wearing comfortable cotton top the most. She did not have any particular principle or style when it came to fashion. The important point was [depending on the mood]. The neutral way of dressing made her feel very comfortable!
When participating in sports, she would dress more casually. For example, started this summer, she who originally resisted wearing dresses, started to put on dresses. However, do not think that she was returning to her “feminine side”, [when wearing a dress, I would then put on a gentry hat. This way, it would have the look of feminine beauty and male debonair.] Ella said with self-satisfaction. She liked to mix together the very feminine or with feminine element with the debonair and no-nonsense of guys. However, regardless of how she was dressed, she placed most importance on [dressing comfortably]. Therefore, items such as clothing or scarves, she particularly favored soft materials but would avoid [furry] types that could lead to allergies.
Unlike other members of the group who preferred shoes and bags as their fashion necessities, Ella liked to use hats to demonstrate her distinctiveness. But her preference in choosing hats was the opposite of that for clothes. She liked to choose hats that were vine-woven or bamboo-woven, [This type of hat style feel more sturdy, clean and debonair. Furthermore, in the summer, it is more airy.] Ella laughed loudly.
Hebe
Dressing Principle – Mix & Match
Looking fresh and lovable, Hebe actually liked to mix classic British style with elements from current fashion, such as matching fashionable high heel shoes with antique accessories, mixing the passé with the current anew to create a no-nonsense mix & match. Hebe said: [I really like to mix and match old stuff with what is in fashion now. Actually it does not have to be too logical but cannot be conflicting! The secret is in knowing clearing what is your most distinguishing quality, what type of message are you trying to convey to others or what type of style are you trying to create. This way, you would not end up being lost and cannot find yourself after mixing here and matching there.]
In a similar line of thought as Selina, Hebe also felt that shoes and bags were very good helpers in creating that fashionable LOOK! Because she had many black-colored clothes and pants, so she would lean toward choosing colorful and bright accessories. Hebe said: [The idea of accessorizing is to have a designer feel within what is plain!] For example, one could dressed in plain colors such as black or white from top to bottom but accessorized with a pair of brightly colored shoes or stocking, [This way, it would not be totally black and the whole person would change from being in the dark to totally brightened up.] That was Hebe’s fashion philosophy.
