Compare and Contrast: Trendsetter of Timeless Classic?

Eccentric. Edgy. Timeless. These are just couple of words that illustrate fashion today. How exactly do we know what is considered to be glamorous or outrageous? We can look at many examples throughout history to find the variations. I believe that there are two types of people, trendsetters like Naomi Campbell and timeles-classic such as Princess Diana. The may be alike in the sense of both carry a strong demeanor of confidence, yet they ca differ in others with respect to being fashion forwars, timeless classics.


Trendsetters are the fashion forward, not afraid to try anything kind of people. For example, Naomi Campbell is considered a modern day fashion adventuress. She was not in any way classic nor traditional. She walked the runway in many outrageous oufits; one of the most memorable was a pair of nine inch heels. Today she is a fashion icon. many times Ms. Campbell wears outfits that look they came from a chic future. Not many people can pul off Naomi's style; but then again, not many people would exhibitbravery and decide to wear her fearless fashion.


Timeless is not only a phrase that we use tpo describe soemthing it is a state of being. When mos people hear the word timeless classic they think of non other Princess Diana of Wales. She did not only have a classic bob hairdo tht is a must-have today, she also had a wardrobe to match her personalit. For example, Princess Diana wore brilliant colors, clever accesories, and topped it off with a distinguished confidence. Princess Diana of Wales is the quintessential meaning of a classic glamour.


There are many differences in the types of clothing that there woman wore, but there are also many similarities that make them so memorable. Naomi and Princess Diana both had an eye for what was going to be a trend and what fashions were here to stay. Both these woman had something that was more noticeable that any clothing that they put on their bodies, they had confidence. This confidence made the not-so-attractive outfits look like they were stitched with gold thread. Everone wanted to wear what they were wearing so maybe they could a little shimmer of confidence that these women demonstrated.


Naomi Campbell and Princess Diana are very good illustrations of a trendsetter and a timeless-classic appearance. They have both displayed drivers look that took the world by storm. They were not just memorable because the fashions they wore, they had an undeniable poise. In the case of these two women, the fashion did not make them, they made fashion.
