The origins of lifestyle
The word "lifestyle" carries a lot of sense. Used excessively today, its real meaning is in truth little known and very subjective. The current job of the word is taken from an advertisement by Ralph Lauren dating from 1970. Within this campaign, the American brand proposes to experiment, thanks to its clothes, the "lifestyle" of Gatsby the magnificent. The idea is to associate, thanks to the words, the sensory and symbolic values of a luxurious lifestyle with the brand's products. Following this communication stroke, the word lifestyle began to evoke luxury and a certain splendor. Regularly used in marketing in order to sell a part of dreams, its definition evolves to the rhythm of social developments. With a form of wealth, this term began to encompass in another way of living, other universes.
Inspirant and unifying lifestyles
Society evolves and with it the meaning of many words. The "lifestyle" has become the representation of various lifestyles, thus transcending its first use. It follows from an association of values and symbols. We can cite for example: Hermès which develops a luxurious, wild and Parisian lifestyle or the Streetwear And its peri-urban, young and multicultural influence. Place, way of thought or even dress style, it embodies more than a simple idea, but a universe in perpetual mutation and complete. And for each mode or culture, there is a lifestyle. Creators and brands cultivate this ideology and transmit their codes to their fans. This is why artists/designers like Virgil Abloh with Off-White or Kanye West with Yeezy were able to establish their universes and become ambassadors of their own lifestyle. Another way to share different inspiring lifestyles is literature, as can do Shall books.From lifestyle to culture
