Fashionlingual Makes Its Debut
Thursday, September 12, 2013
Fashionlingual was born years ago from a
great admiration for fashion inspired by European street style. That concept
was further developed through a college project until finally becoming a part
of the blogosphere today.
Where
did the name come from? I’ve lived in Spain for the past five years, and as an
American in Madrid I wanted to combine my passion for fashion with my bilingual
experiences. So, do you get it? Fashion fanatic + bilingual gal = Fashionlingual!
What
is Fashionlingual about? A bunch of different ideas about how to focus the
blog passed through my mind and caused me to ask myself, what is fashion?
For
some, “fashion” is only about ever-changing beauty and clothing styles found on
glossy magazine pages like Vogue, but I think that it goes above and beyond shopping
and trips to the salon. For me, fashion also represents different facets of
culture (like art and history) and it has the power to transmit different ideas
and ways of thinking.
The
definition of fashion that I most agree with comes from a quote by Gabrielle Coco Chanel that says, “Fashion is not something that only exists in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

I
will keep that quote in mind as I update blog posts about trends, shopping, art,
fashion events, beauty, travel, photography and lifestyle.
With
that variety of content and an English-Spanish dictionary that I’ve compiled
over the years, “Fashionlingual” attempts to set itself apart from the hundreds of
other similar spaces on the Web.
I
hope that we can share and converse about fashion experiences together.
I can't wait to read your blog! I'm an aspiring fashion buyer/blogger. I'm so excited about this adventure.
