Fashion Kills Romance
When I think about love, my mind instantly switches to shoes. Especially high heels. My first love might have been a pair of Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes. That was the moment I started wondering: can romance and fashion coexist? Or is a human being the starting point? But then again, many like to express themselves through their sense of style, which reflects their love for clothes and also themselves. So, really, if you have any certain feelings for fashion, that just shows love for yourself. But how does your partner feel about that?
I believe that there’s plenty of room for countless obsessions in life. Unfortunately not everyone would agree. Living in 2026 made me realize, some partners are jealous of their better half. Is that even possible if you love someone? I mean look at Carrie in “Sex and the City” and Aiden. He did not understand her desire for couture and Manolos. Is it possible that your partner might feel intimidated by you? I often hear stories about women who are obsessed with dressing up, but somehow that makes their partner feel kind of… well let’s say uncomfortable. I mean who wears Valentino pumps to lunch?
Well, I do, and I will choose them for lunch in every lifetime.
Many of these women told me they had to downgrade themselves, just to make their partner feel comfortable. I do not approve but I get their point. Let’s take a look back to when women wore dresses, skirts and polka dots. Back in the time women used to wear something suitable. Modest. Innocent. Thankfully we live in a different timeline.
Many women still grow up believing in the old standards, afraid to show what the inside of their head looks like when it comes to fashion. Which leads to hiding behind the mask. Fashion is art, and art is unpredictable. So wear that gown to dinner and don’t save it for special occasions. And if your partner is not okay with that, you can still change the partner, and i dont mean change to make him or her better.
And maybe that’s the real romance: Finding someone who loves you as much as you love your Heels.
