Most of us don’t actually see our outfits, we just react to them. In this video I’m breaking down Closed Form vs Open Form. It's one of the design concepts I use constantly in both my work and my own style. And I think everyone can gain insight by understanding how to OBJECTIVELY evaluate an outfit. This is the first video in a new Fashion Fundamentals series where I go through different elements that are critical to styling, design, and overall impression of your outfit. One of the resources I refer to is the book The Way We Look by Marilyn DeLong : https://amzn.to/4sCUbtV * You can find more videos and articles in this series on my Fashion Fundamentals page here: https://gabriellearruda.com/fashion-fundamentals/ *Disclosure I may earn a commission from you clicking links with a *.
