We live in times of rapid change. It seems that every day new trends are being created left and
right. However, while looking at the influx of styles hitting the runways then making their way
into our boutiques and shops it becomes clear that we may be headed towards a fashion
regression in deep contrast to the natural flow of a progression. This downward spiral is an
abomination, that could very well become the new classics of our time.
Is there any hope for our generation? Will true classics, which have stayed with us through the
decades be making a new refined modern come back?
Street fashion or high class…
How did torn up and wrinkled pass for stylish and class?
Brands such asAbercrombie and Fitch and Hollister whose names alone carry a sense of
designer flare, seem to have gone way off course. After looking at their latest lines no matter
what the season it is easy to get the impression that torn up jeans, wrinkled and highly worn
pieces are what’s “cool” now.
These fashion statements if you want to even call them that are hardly reasonably priced. A pair
of jeans can easily go for well above $50. When, in reality, wouldn’t it just be easier to buy a
cheaper pair which has no holes and tear those up instead?
Say it isn’t so…
The term our children are the future, is more than just a catchy phrase created to illicit sentiment.
In fact it is a kind of premonition of what’s to come in all things even the way we dress. It can
affect how people carry themselves and set the stage of how society will evolve as a whole.
The next alternative to the destroyed relaxed look isn’t that much better. Ever since the
emergence of the Bratz Dollz two or three pieces of cloth sewn together qualify as clothing.
These dolls which glorify the hooker / call girl look are being marketed to vulnerable little girls.
Which in turn can carry over to the adults in their lives, making it out to be “ok.”
Honestly with the way these are designed, walking around naked won’t make a difference. There
really wasn’t anything to begin with. After all is there anyone who enjoys the dream of walking
down the road with absolutely nothing on? I was under the impression that it resonated feelings
of embarrassment and dread.
Can comfort and class co-exist?
Creating a positive image is one of the hallmarks of our society. So why wear clothing that
shows everything off? Wouldn’t it
