Street Trends on the way ....................


DEPRESSION CHIC


Some believe that today we are going through another great depression. So trendsetters took it upon themselves to bring it back in our clothes as well. The trend this is leaning towards in a 1920's long layered look. Here are a few pieces from the runway.




MARRAKECH EXPRESS


Marrakech Express is a trend that is all about diversity to me. The trend shows different ethnic and cultural pieces through out each of the garments. It shows that the world as one is a beautiful place. Each of the outfits would not be so significant with out each of the different pieces.

Street Trends Then......

ZOOT SUIT

A zoot suit (occasionally spelled zuit suit) is a suit with high-waisted, wide-legged, tight-cuffed, pegged trousers, and a long coat with wide lapels and wide padded shoulders. This style of clothing was popularized by African Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Italian Americans, and Filipino Americans during the late 1930s and 1940s.

TEDDY BOYS

Working class youths adopted the teddy boy style as their own as a rejection of the ultra-functionality of the fifties fashion.. The classic Ted had a long jacket with a velvet collar. This look was in place of the Edwardian elegance.

BEATNIKS

The beatniks started in the 1940s in San Francisco among existentialist intellectuals and artists. It represented a philosophy of anti-materialism and was a direct inspiration for the hippies’ movement. This style includes berets, ballet flats, black and white striped shirts, skinny black pants, and sunglasses indoors.

MODS

An unconventionally modern style of fashionable dress originating in England in the 1960s. A youth subculture that began in London in the early 1960s; a working-class movement with highly stylized dress and short hair; listened to rhythm and blues music and traveled on motor scooters. To differentiate themselves from the conservative adult culture, they favored vintage and colorful outfits, accessorized with long hair.

HIPPIES

The hippies fashion was embraced by the youth and even seniors across the continents, in the 1960s. The focus of the decade and years later was on the vibrancy of the apparel and accessories and not on what others thought about a particular appearance. People, in general, sported clothes that they felt expressed themselves and their individualism and not for sake of pleasing the regular line of fashion.

DISCO

Disco clothes are about how to look hot while dancing all night long. The look was defined by John Travolta in the 1977 film, "Saturday Night Fever," but was popular before that. Leisure suits, slinky dresses and Sonny and Cher-style jumpsuits define the era. Skirts tended toward the mini and the micro, while hair was big and natural. Glam and decadence are the hallmarks of disco fashion

PUNK

Punk first emerged in the mid 1970s in London as an anarchic and aggressive movement. About 200 young people defined themselves as an anti-fashion urban youth street culture. Closely aligned was a music movement that took the name punk. The clothes suited the lifestyle of those with limited cash due to unemployment and the general low income school leavers or students often experience.

HIP HOP

Hip-hop fashion is a distinctive style of dress originating with African-American, Caribbean-American and Latino youth in The 5 Boroughs, and later influenced by the hip-hop scenes of Los Angeles, Galesburg, Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia, East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area), Detroit, Puerto Rico, and The Dirty South among others. Each city contributed various elements to its overall style seen worldwide today. Hip hop fashion complements the expressions and attitudes of hip hop culture in general. Hip hop fashion has changed significantly during its history, and today it is a prominent part of popular fashion as a whole across the world and for all ethnicities
