wow...i know that there is different inventory for different countries...but i just assumed that europe had the better stuff...but i guess ny is pretty fashion forward...i always forget that it's not like this everywhere...

KitKat · 26-08-2004

i'm back, searched out some links, and these aren't designers, but how it really ends up on the shelves, and how people wear it, so you can see what I mean..

the above are typical but these too: http://www.conleys.de/sr020kategorieVP.szz...de=women&page=1 Just click throught the pages for different 'trends'... have to add, to be fair, that lady-chic and cropped jackets have been around the block here a few times..but the tweed jackets are new, and round toe shoes... And they always revive the 60s. [attachmentid=24778][attachmentid=24779]

lol..kinda random but i can't wait to see Leo back (practically from the dead) in the Aviator

wow nice stuff u r all talkin about

the old style hollywood glamour..
let me tell u now.. that even though it is now dead.. (god rest its pages)
THE FACE talked about this in its jan issue (or thereabouts) of this year
the hollywood glam... spotted around clubland ... especially "nagnagnag fag hags" and let me tell u ... peeps in around london.. have been sporting this look... its not street style... its club style... big brooches.. veiled hats, hollywood glam ethic... even with some of the war references thrown in too...

also about the "everything with a twist" its definately true... in london i can say the "hip underground st martins/fashion student" crowd... are sporting this covered up glam look, suits, the dark beauty, the simple make up, the big brooches.... but its mixed up.... we have a more "supermarket style" .... grab something from this n a little bit of that... going around the different aisles of fashion/clothes in influences n references n picking what we like... everything comes with a twist... otherwise u will appear to be in costume

( i am not talkin abt my personal style... if ur thinkin this after seein pics of me... wat i decide to wear clubbin is much more of a costume than clothes)

KitKat, Zara has some real nice tweed skirts for fall,
(brown with pale pink tweed) problem is that they didnt fit
the way i was expecting ... give it a try if there is any Zara
branch where you live

thanks for the London streetwear update sedi,
much appreciated

the last real trend we saw was the entire "brooklyn chic" thing. it swept overnight. i remember going out in vegas two years ago and it wasn't one or two people adding touches here and there. EVERYONE was in trucker hats, destroyed jeans, vintage tees, blazers, and the ubiquitous "quirky" shoe. it swept this country (and i suspect others) in a matter of months. sure, we all got tired of it REALLY fast, but the magazines couldn't print fast enough to keep up with that trend. that's what i qualify as a bonafide trend. i just think that a lot of people are trying to force this new ladylike thing and it's just not happening.

most people i know who wear blazers all the time, self included, wear them because they're funky not sophisticated. but i guess we'll see (again).

uuh uh...that's a fad...something that comes and goes very quickly is a FAD...a trend is a directions that fashion in general is moving in...that must be why we aren't seeing eye to eye...

different use of terminology...

PS...since when does LAS VEGAS set trends???!!!?!?!........

i mentioned vegas bc a lot of things roll in and out of new york that don't necessarily reflect what's going on in the rest of the country/world. maybe our terminology is different. i see brooklyn chic as a trend. and things like boxer sneakers, trucker hats, etc. as fads. people still basically dress in that high+low/vintage+designer way that i think the "brooklyn chic" look crystallized. i think the brooklyn chic thing is really the reason why people have stopped dressing in a uniform of minimalist nineties black.

softgrey · 27-08-2004

hahhaaa...i don't even know what brooklyn chic is???...what are you talking about...??

Salvatore · 28-08-2004

I have a feeling Moroccan inspired stuff mixed with the Hollywood glamour will be hot. But that's just me

seditionary · 29-08-2004

hahahaha... some call it brooklyn chic... here in england.. we call it the "hoxton look" .. hahaha

Very cool! Thanks KitKat

purechris · 31-08-2004

Thanks for the article Kitkat.

Not a clothing trend, but it seems like PURE has been such a buzz word lately. Four years ago when we were doing the business plan for the store we came up with the name PURE. I thought it was perfect, but then started seeing it everywhere (Donna Karan has an intimates line with it in the name, this trade show, I've even seen spas and salons use it (locally: PUREimage...etc.)
Back in the early 90s I used to design tshirts under the name EVOLVE, which I actually came up with from the Sonic Youth album EVOL, and studying Biology in college. Then, before the turn of the century (that still sounds funny) it seems like every thing was about EVOLVING and EVOLUTION, very fitting, no?

What do you guys think? Any hints to the next buzz word in our Lexicon?
