Wrapping up the fashionable year of 2009. Seated high on my fashion throne I reflect on what 2009 meant to me, through a fashion aspect.2009 will be remembered for:
-Revolutionising high fashion to become mainstream.........( with the whole recession climate.. those housed in the high end of fashion.. unwillingly/ willingly became submerged with the mainstream fashion offering) - SURVIVAL OF THE FASHIONABLY FITTEST.
-Bloggers sitting front row and taking the world of fashion to a whole new tech savvy level!
-Fashion became ENTERTAINMENT!: Designers began starring in their own doco - type movie roles... Chanel, Anna Wintour etc........if only there was an Oscar for the willing participants.
-Fashion literature all of a sudden became fashionably worth reading about. Fashion dictionaries, Vogue biographies, Rachel Zoe styling books to name a few.
-Recycled, reloved, re-made, re-create.... just beginning.
PREDICTIONS FOR 2010 :
VINTAGE will be absolutely HUGE IN 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. In fact 2010 will be the fashion industry's excuse to become 'environmentally' conscious... REcyle, REmake,RElive,RElove, REvive,Recreate,Reborn. Nearly every fashion house will incorporate a sister label into their brand which will revive collections from the past.. where fabrics will be remoulded to make new fashion creations for the fashionista.
Nearly every fashionista will be falling in love with the notion of investing in a piece that is titled with the word 'vintage'. Only because VINTAGE is the new kind of STYLISH.
Every fashionista will be seeking out vintage luxe creations.. ( not cheap vintage).. but unique recreated vintage pieces. Vintage ensures the fashionista it's a one off one of a kind creation.. no double ups with another fashionista! yipee with glee.
Gladiator sky high heel will fade out!
Winter will bring a comeback in the double breasted and vested business jackets.. to be worn socially of course!
