Look at ski clothes! The whole look is there! What is meant by the 'whole look'? There are accessories, clothing and coverings for all the body. In skiing, it is the whole body that is important from the crown of the head to the throat to the waist and then to the sole of the foot. Yes the whole body is important. The aim is functional but it is to cover and clothe the body for a function, which is to ski.
Yes the body is what is important and the 'ski' style or look is an example of how a certain style is made, which is the 'ski' style. Look at ski clothes! There is the hat. There are the glasses, then the jacket sometimes with a hood, sometimes without. There are the trousers or the salopettes, whatever is preferred. And finally the boots. And you create the ski look with all these elements. How do you create the 'ski' look. Answer: with all these elements or a selection of them.
How do you create a look? How do you create any look? What can you learn from the 'ski' look? The 'ski' look is a stylised functional look. Your aim is to ski and you create the look. Or the aim is to protect you against the weather, or to cover/clothe yourself in the cold air. This is the function and in this way the 'ski' look is a functional look. And clothes are functional as well as decorative. We see this from the 'ski' look.
Stylists can work then in this way. They can think of clothes and accessories as functional and not just decorative. We can style in this way.. We can then learn from skiing clothes. Yes the nature of skiing clothes can help you in styling yourself. The 'ski' look in particular can aid you in creating other functional looks.
There are the skiing glasses for example. There are various particularly stylised glasses with black and orange rims for example. And we can say indeed that the 'ski look emphasises the eyes. The eyes have to be covered in skiing and we can say that for styling, in general, always look for the eyes. Yes always look out for the eyes when styling! There are the snow goggles too which hide the eyes and the nose too. See also the boots and the hats. Sometimes the ski just go the shin, below the knee as well as the high boots, of course. With these low boots, there is, in some way, more emphasis on the leg. You know the synthetic 'pink' boots. These boots can just go the shin. And boots don't always have to be high; they can go midway and in some way, this gives the shin area emphasis.
Poivre Blanc makes fitted jackets for skiing. Sometimes there are the distinctly pink jackets which suit the cold. Look at these jackets. Their function is to 'protect' but they can be fitted as well as with Poivre Blanc. Yes skiing clothes are definitely not 'fitting' if means 'clinging'. But there is a functional fit that adds to the whole 'ski' look. There are also the imitation fur collars, for example.
The functionality is obvious.. the design is functional. Skiing clothes are meant to be functional so buttons, for example, are obvious and the colors aim to correlate with the weather e.g. pink/black. This can be a stylistic rule: Aim to correlate with the air and atmosphere around you. This is not just 'nature'. It is the atmosphere.. The cold as with skiing. In other words, what the 'ski' look teaches is to aim to be functional.
Poivre Blanc makes particularly fitted ski jackets sometimes with embroidered detail. The outer fabrics, of course, are
waterproof and windproof. There is also the storm hood for example which is tucked into the collar. This jacket is waterproof but you can create a different functional look for cold weather. You can have a light color wool jacket with fur trim collar. Skirt and boots 'to shin' also. You can open the jacket to reveal a collarless blouse with maybe a lace effect. The jacket can be pink or black or white for example. This is a style for the cold air. It leans on the functional look. It is a functional style linked to the ski style.
Women's ski trousers are definitely functional too and not too attractive. Overall they are not fitted for women's ski trousers are for skiing and the fit does not emphasise the legs at all. The fabrics of course are waterproof, sometimes with detachable braces and gaiters. So they are not meant to be attractive but the ski trousers teaches us that trousers can emphasise a style that you want to produce. Indeed, you can say that ski trousers suit wide hipped women in particular. But you can adjust the ski trouser style by keeping the wide hip 'look' but tapering the lines to the ankle. The trousers can then cling at the ankles, if you wish. That is what we can learn from ski trousers. You can adjust ski- trousers so that they cling more!
With the high-braced trousers or salopettes, you can make another style. What about a cropped shirt to the waist with the braces over this. You can wear a high-waisted trousers with a high-collared jacket or a high waisted trousers with a styled t-shirt. With pink boots, this could emphasise the sleeveless arms as well as the neck and generally the upper part of torso. Yes this can be a style learnt from the 'ski' look. Can we learn then from the 'ski' look. In terms of style, yes, definitely!
