i know i'm in for it, but:
Balmain jackets, Balenciaga shoulders, certain ankle boots, and the fashion editor look in general. the clothes are so rigid that they seem like they can hold their shape when they're not being worn. i'm sick of the silhouette of broad shoulders and no hips.

I can totally understand what you mean.

Just because it looks decent on Carine, every short and super-skinny woman thinks that clothes that severe will look fantastic on them - and make them look 'strong, confident, and in control.' Pretty lame and so overdone at this point, I agree.

plaid shirts

I hate the grunge/Mary-Kate Olsen oversize plaid shirts.

They don't look good on anyone.

I love plaid shirts. But I've loved plaid shirts for many many years and have now had to put mine away because I'm sick of seeing them everywhere. Depressing.

^ i agree. i loved plaid shirts for years and now everytime i wear mine...i feel
so embarrassed cos everyone walking down the street is wearing plaid.
ironically enough i've been planning my birthday party for over a year ( yeah i got
pretty lazy..ahah) and i wanted to have a plaid party..but now i'm reconsidering
it. haha oh boy.

anyway, sorry for my rant. i'm pretty sick and tired of seeing fedoras!

Balmain
Alexander Wang
and especially the high-street rip off's of these two.
and definitely the girls that in their collective consciousness consider Decarnin a genius.

The only thing genius about these trends is how the people behind them have managed to promote them so well.

I second that.

Among many dresses Decarnin created for Balmain, the only one i liked was the one SJP wore, and teh reason why because she is so petite, the dress actually did not look that short, so somewhat respectable on her. Most of those dresses are just overworked pieces of fabric, loaded with beads, gems, and sequins. Since when that is an accomplishment?

When Donatella did those in the beginning of 2000s, people murdered her for the use of excess 'sparkle.' All of a sudden they became the genius solution to a big design problem. Give me a break!

Alex. Wang is also incredibly gimmick-y. One or two pieces that define him - that's it.

---------

Another trend I am sick of is the 'candied flower' perfumes women seem to adore and apply generously, like Angel, Miss Dior Cherie, Flowerbomb, or Delices de Cartier...

I mean, give it a break: you smell like a 10,000 calorie diet! At least use a bit less, if you have to.

same, I used to love plaid shirts. don't think I'll ever like them again. maybe in 20years time!

 

[á la Balenciaga]

there's another trend that really irks me!
I'm pretty sure some will know what I'm talking about.
Girls are bleaching the front part of their hair,
and the back side is dyed jet black or dark brown. IMO, it looks nasty!

I'm not fond of any extreme coloring or contrasting/streaking.

To me, I get sick of trends when it starts to show up all over my small town.
So for me it's:
-Ripped tights
-COMPLETE American Apparel ensemble (thats not called style, thats called putting two block, basic colors together)
-Hot pants (especially the sparkly aa ones)

Sorry to anyone who owns anything of the above ahah. Im just talking in my town...where style becomes a monkey see monkey do without their own individual flare to it.

 

[Echoes]

I'm sick of trends in general. Why can't people just wear what they like and feel good in without being concerned about who else is wearing it or talking about it or what some Ragazine (not misspelled) thinks?

Why are people concerned with buying new clothes every few months just because something new hits the stores? Unless you outgrow it or it gets damaged, who cares if you wear it for several years?

Because fashion is a business that is all about recycling the same ideas over and over, and selling people what they do not need, but think that they must possess? It is a pseudo-need tied to vanity, aesthetics and materialistic happiness.

The only way to sell the different versions of the same stuff is to repackage them under a larger umbrella called 'trends.'

That is why they matter, and are relevant.

Excellently put. Couldn't have said it better.
I also wish people wouln't automatically jump on every stupid trend that comes along (most of which don't even suit them).
