Fashion, textually speaking

I'm very much in love with written text but most of the times I find it very hard to describe every details without having to rely on visuals. This is why I have the utmost respect for creative writers, poet and the likes for being able to let the readers experience & imagine solely through a wall of text. But think about this, would you be able to indulge in a purely text-based fashion blog?

Minimalissimo describes The Considered Ensemble, a work of Andrew Kupresanin & Belinda Chen, as minimalism meets The Sartorialist. The blog shares a description of what the contributors are wearing without images, leaving more to our imagination. As Andrew was saying,

"With the innumerable blogs competing with one another in showcasing the latest street fashion/fashionistas, we are bombarded with and consume so much imagery without getting past the surface. The Considered Ensemble is an alternative that hopes to fill some gaps.

Each submission is a personal expression from an individual, whether its the personality they inject into their writing style, or the stories behind a special item of clothing. It is a platform where visitors can gain a deeper insight into the thought process and meaning behind each individuals’ outfit, and take time to use their imagination."

But when it comes to my own blog posts, as I was saying, I'd love a little inspiring photo ;) (Photo via meepmeepmeep)
