Style has its origin from the Greek word "stylos" which means columns or columned. During the middle ages, around 1250-1300 it evolved to the word "stilus" which was derived from the Latin word "stylus." Stilus is a tool for writing, referring to any various pointed instruments used in drawing, artwork, etc. Later in the modern era it evovled to the new word "style" which presently means a lot of things:
1. the mode of expressing thought in writing or speaking by selecting and arranging words, considered w/respect to clearness, effectiveness and euphony.
2. those components or features of a literary composition that have to do w/the form of expression rather than the content of the thought expressed.
3. a manner of tone in discourse or conversation.
4. a particular, distinctive or characteristic mode or execution of an artwork.
5. a certain manner of action.
6. a mode of living, as with respect to expense or display.
7. a mode of fashion as in dress, especially good or approved fashion.
8. an elegant, fashionable or luxurious mode of living. And maybe a lot more.
Certainly this blog I created will touch on style that is synonymous with dressing and fashion and with other things where design and creativity is needed like architecture and interior design, the visual arts, the cultural arts, pop art, cinema, etc.
I like to keep this blog real and hopefully unpretentious. I created this blog not to attract readership but just to contribute and share my thoughts on the subject and more than ever learn from you as well. Come join me.
