NEW YORK
FASHION
WEEK
HITS!
AS HITS!
From the earliest ages of fashion, there has been
widespread criticism and praise for various fashion
trends. Some we have laughed at in amusement,
unsure of how this “art” came into existence and
others are merely socially acceptable and thus we
praise the craftsmanship that went into its creation.
But 2015 surely is a year of change!
We went trend-spotting at the NEW YORK FASHION
WEEK where each and every holy cow of fashion
was slaughtered. Apart from the Kardashians breaking the sacred Frow (known as the front row) by
having a screaming baby placed next to Anna
Wintour, the rest of the event ran without any fashion breakthroughs.
Trends which were previously frowned upon
seemed to make a comeback as hits for no apparent reason. But one thing is sure – we will be seeing
these styles in South-Africa soon enough. The Elle
Magazine reported the following: “Aside from North
West's presence, the most exciting part of this season's Alexander Wang show was the footwear.”
Footwear, may we add, that strongly reminds of the
Spice Girl era, which is making a comeback as
Wang debuted a hefty platform combat boot that
was widely praised for its combination of comfort
and style.
