Hello, dear friends. New York fashion week came to its end as well as London fashion week. Milan fashion week is finishing tomorrow. In the post the object of my interest is street fashion - what do people wear on shows.
Why do pay attention to the people outside the shows? Well, because some of them are nearly usual people, like us, and it's curious to see their number one choice for the casual, street clothes.
Let's see the variety of street trends:
Stripes
To my mind it's a boring trend. But it was very popular among the people outside the shows.
This trend is quite predictable: middle of September is a resort time for some of us, and in resort collection stripes are always popular. Second, for pre-fall most designers chose stripe too. Despite the stripe being boring in general, I like how some people below made it look very amusing. Most of all I like the lady with the red lobster and red striped bag, striped socks with sneakers and a baggy shirt with big light blue stripes.
Ripped Jeans for Boys & Girls
You know, guys, what I've noticed, ripped jeans are not shocking anyone any more (I mean older generations). The image of ripped jeans and their physical availability in shops (sometimes there are no other options in a shop but ripped denim trousers) made our perception get used to them. It's normal now to wear ripped jeans. Nobody cares. Ripped jeans do not irritate elderly people any more. Why? Because they are fashionable. The machine called "fashion" keeps on planting in our minds that it's quite cool to wear trousers with holes in them ... Isn't it funny, guys? Can you imagine Oscar Wilde (a writer) or Olga Orlova (an actress) wearing ripped trousers? I can, but this image makes me laugh. In the 21st century person's perception it's cool to wear ripped jeans, but not in the 19th or 20th century.
Ripped jeans idea has been harvested in our minds by mass media in a successful way. It's even acceptable to wear ripped jeans in the office. I came many times in ripped jeans to work, only once one man asked me whether I needed a needle for my jeans. My reply was: "No, thank you. It's fashion." This argument makes most people resist from further talk. So guys, keep on parading in ripped jeans while "it's fashion".
Platforms
It's my favourite trend among the above mentioned ones. Platform is great, specifically for those who want to look higher, but can not wear high heels. There is only one trick with platform boots - to find boots of light weight so the heavy platforms won't hurt your precious feet.
