SPEAKER_00
So I just got back from Fashion Week.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was gone for two weeks.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was in Milan and then I was in Paris.
0
SPEAKER_00
I did the whole thing this season.
0
SPEAKER_00
I went to seven fashion shows.
0
SPEAKER_00
And when I tell you that there is nothing in my brain right now other than fashion, there s nothing else in my brain.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not kidding.
0
SPEAKER_00
I had a conversation yesterday with a friend who could not give less of a fuck about fashion.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, I don t know how to conversate with this person because the only thing I m thinking about is fashion.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like I fully immersed myself in the fashion world in a dangerous way in the last two weeks.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s because I took it more seriously this season than I ever have before.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved fashion.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved going to the shows and being a part of it in person.
0
SPEAKER_00
Even when my imposter syndrome kicks in and I m like, why am I here?
0
SPEAKER_00
Why did they invite me here?
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like after my first fashion show, I was like, yep, I love this.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s exciting.
0
SPEAKER_00
It inspires me fashion-wise.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, even if I see a show that I don t like, it just further helps me develop my taste.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m like, okay, well now I know I don t like that.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, even though I ve always loved fashion and Fashion Week, I ve never taken it as seriously as I did this last season.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, this last season, it became a sport for me.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, I want to go to as many shows as I can,
0
SPEAKER_00
I want to wear outfits to these shows that I m really proud of.
0
SPEAKER_00
put extra effort in and really make them good, you know?
0
SPEAKER_00
Every last detail, from the accessories to the hair and makeup, my stylist and I really took it fucking seriously this season.
0
SPEAKER_00
Anytime we weren t at a show, we were planning the next look.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, we were at fittings, we were making mood boards for the hair and makeup, like we were so into it, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
And it was so fun, like it was so fun, and it felt like
0
SPEAKER_00
Listen, I know I used the metaphor of the Olympics earlier.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like the mini leagues.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like third graders playing soccer because it s not that serious.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like a third grader playing soccer because it s not actually that serious.
0
SPEAKER_00
The Olympics are very serious.
0
SPEAKER_00
Fashion Week, it s not that fucking serious.
0
SPEAKER_00
So it is kind of like
0
SPEAKER_00
third grade soccer, but it doesn t matter because it s fun, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like with third grade soccer, those third graders feel like they re in the Olympics, but really they re just in the mini leagues.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s how I felt with this fashion week.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was like, it felt like some sort of fashion Olympics for me, but it was really just, it was really not that important.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
0
SPEAKER_00
Doesn t matter though because it was fun.
0
SPEAKER_00
All of this to say, my brain is so consumed by fashion, because for the last two weeks, it s all I ve consumed, that it s all I know how to talk about.
0
SPEAKER_00
So naturally, I m here today to talk about the trends that I saw at Fashion Week.
0
SPEAKER_00
I went to seven shows, but I looked at probably 25 shows and like really looked at them online.
0
SPEAKER_00
So the trends I m discussing today are things that I saw reoccurring through about 25 collections that I was interested in looking at.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I made this list completely on my own through analyzing various collections, but then I was like, am I just pulling this out of my ass?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, am I really seeing these patterns or these really reoccurring themes or am I reaching?
0
SPEAKER_00
So then I had the genius idea to Google it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, let me Google it and see what big fashion publications are saying.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are they seeing the same trends as me or am I losing my mind?
0
SPEAKER_00
Turns out I was kind of on the nose, actually.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it was one of the best feelings of my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I rarely toot my own horn.
0
SPEAKER_00
My God, do I rarely toot my own horn.
0
SPEAKER_00
So please let me toot it now.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
You re just going to have to take my word for it because that could have easily been a lie.
0
SPEAKER_00
I could have just looked up top trends from
0
SPEAKER_00
fall winter 2024 women s fashion week and then stole them all and then you know said that I came up with them and then fact-checked them after it s like just trust me okay I would tell you if I stole them I always give credit where it s due or I try to and if I fuck up then I give credit later I m not a bad person I don t think so anyway let s get into the trends that I saw at fashion week this is fall winter 2024
0
SPEAKER_00
Mainly women s clothing, but there were some men s looks in there.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, for each trend, I m going to discuss my overall opinion on the trend and the trend s relationship to the zeitgeist.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, how the trend relates to culture in one way or another.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
First trend I saw was a lot of mesh see-through clothing.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like there were a lot of nipples on the runway.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I was really into it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I am kind of into the nipple being out.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s sort of a relief in a way to see the female nipple having a really vivid present moment because I m a person who doesn t like to wear bras.
0
SPEAKER_00
I hate wearing bras.
0
SPEAKER_00
In fact, I don t even own bras.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like all the bras I own are literally, they don t have underwire.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now this is a privilege because I don t have large breasts.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is comfortable for me because I have small boobs, but
0
SPEAKER_00
I wear like the most useless bra you can imagine like what it basically does is just kind of smooth out the boob but like barely okay but barely because there s no padding there s no underwire it s a bralette basically like a triangle bralette
0
SPEAKER_00
And there are so many times where I m like, I d rather just not wear a bra here, you know, but my nipple is a little too present.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I kind of have to wear a bra, you know, to be socially acceptable.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I m into the nipple being out.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I know that this is not a new movement.
0
SPEAKER_00
OK, we ve been saying free the nipple for a long time, but
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know like I was stoked to see a lot of nipple and I actually think that the sheer mesh clothing sort of showing the body is a very beautiful and flattering way to show some skin you know because a lot of times the structure of the mesh piece gives some shape you know what I mean like it sort of puts the boobs in a nice place and it like it sort of creates this
0
SPEAKER_00
filter over the body that looks beautiful.
0
SPEAKER_00
It just looks beautiful.
0
SPEAKER_00
And, you know, I think naturally in society, we look at nudity, especially like, no, nudity in general, showing skin in general as being sort of inappropriate, not classy, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
That s kind of a common belief.
0
SPEAKER_00
But the thing that I think is so special about the mesh pieces that I was seeing on the runway is that they were all very classy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like before, I think a lot of us would have thought of a mesh see-through top as like something that, I don t know, a college kid would wear to spring break to show some skin and be flirty.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like a neon mesh top.
0
SPEAKER_00
for spring break in Miami.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think a lot of us would associate it with that, which is not maybe as much of a classy vibe.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t think anyone is trying to be classy at spring break, but you get what I m saying, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
The way that I saw mesh and skin being shown was very classy.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was shown in
0
SPEAKER_00
dresses that were gorgeous and like really, they felt business-like, you know, like you could wear that to a meeting.
0
SPEAKER_00
Although it s a crazy idea to think of showing nipple at a meeting, but you get what I m saying.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I love this trend and I think it s really beautiful and I love the way that it was done in every show that I saw it present at.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think that this will present itself as a trend in the world, starting with more celebrities wearing sheer gowns, dresses, etc.
0
SPEAKER_00
on the red carpet.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think that s where it s going to start.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then I think in general, maybe over time this will become a norm.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t see it becoming a norm
0
SPEAKER_00
in the workplace, like ever.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t, that s, that s a stretch.
0
SPEAKER_00
But like, even going out to dinner at a nice restaurant, you know, I think you see sometimes people wearing see-through mesh clothing where there is nipple visible, but it s kind of rare.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I think that that s an appropriate setting for it because, you know, there s sort of this classy yet off-duty sort of field going out to dinner.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like it ll become more normalized too.
0
SPEAKER_00
wear sheer clothing, maybe to dinner, maybe to a bar, et cetera.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe even going to the farmer s market, maybe even going to the flea market.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it might become more normalized over time, and that s exciting and cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
So we ll see what happens with that, but it looks great on the runway.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next trend.
0
SPEAKER_00
I can t not mention this.
0
SPEAKER_00
However, it feels
0
SPEAKER_00
boring and sort of lackluster.
0
SPEAKER_00
There were a lot of trench coats.
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, a lot of trench coats this season.
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I saw so many
1
SPEAKER_00
trench coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
And this is not new.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like I feel like trench coats have been in for a while now.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I guess this season was proving to us that they are still very much in.
1
SPEAKER_00
I personally love trench coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like they re such a classic sort of jacket.
1
SPEAKER_00
I also love them because you can throw them on when it s cold out.
1
SPEAKER_00
And not only will you stay warm because they keep you warm from
1
SPEAKER_00
neck to knee, but they also are like an easy outfit.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like a gorgeous trench coat over an all-black outfit.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s just chic and cool.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s so easy.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s almost like wearing a dress.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like a one-way ticket to an outfit, a trench coat.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s just so easy.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it s classic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like you look at fashion through the decades and there s always a trench coat somewhere.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s very in.
1
SPEAKER_00
The trenchcoats I was seeing this season were very boxy, though.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, a lot of boxy trenchcoats.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, not necessarily, though.
1
SPEAKER_00
There were kind of all types of trenchcoats, but I definitely saw a lot of boxy trenchcoats.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think in general, this is sort of to be expected.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, again, trenchcoats have been trendy for a while now, in one way or another.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I think that it s a sign that people are really in the mood for a classic, timeless silhouette still.
1
SPEAKER_00
If not, now more than ever.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve talked about this a lot, but in the early 2010s to mid-2010s, like what, 2015, 2016, I don t know if that s the right timeframe, but it was around there.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was a lot of maximalist fashion, you know, very extravagant
1
SPEAKER_00
sort of things.
1
SPEAKER_00
And like a classic, simple trench coat is sort of the opposite of that.
1
SPEAKER_00
And because I feel like we re coming out of that phase of maximalism, something like a trench coat just makes sense for right now, because I think most people are craving simplicity, craving something a bit more minimal, a bit more timeless.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like a natural thing that happens with the trend cycles.
1
SPEAKER_00
So this trench coat trend, it makes sense with the culture.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s already in, it will continue to be in, but it s especially in because we re craving minimal, timeless things.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next, kind of the opposite of the timeless trench coat, I saw a lot of fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
And actually fur in general, but more than anything fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like big, big fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I saw some people talking about this new mob wife trend.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like there are people online saying that
1
SPEAKER_00
the sort of clean girl aesthetic, whatever that really means.
1
SPEAKER_00
I guess it s like chic, clean, neutral colors, pretty makeup.
1
SPEAKER_00
Pretty meaning like very natural and I use the word pretty but that s such a terrible word for it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean like
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, clean, minimal makeup, whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen a lot of people saying that that s out and what s in is like mob wife, you know, like grungier makeup, big fur coats, you know, like sassy boots, like tights.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, probably like mini skirts, like stuff like, you know, a bit more edgy, a bit more sassy, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
Definitely saw a lot of fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I m not fully sold on them.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think a lot of times fur coats don t look great.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like a lot of times they can look very costumey.
1
SPEAKER_00
It really depends on the material that s used.
1
SPEAKER_00
Obviously, there s faux fur, there s real fur.
1
SPEAKER_00
Obviously, faux fur is the better option.
1
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t really matter what type of fur is used, real fur, faux fur.
1
SPEAKER_00
It can look costumey.
1
SPEAKER_00
It can look kind of, I hate this word, but it can look cheap.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like if you got it from
1
SPEAKER_00
Forever 21 or something.
1
SPEAKER_00
Even when it s a $20,000 jacket walking down the runway, you know, it can still look sort of cheap and not nice.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s a shame, especially if it is real fur and an animal died for the jacket and it doesn t even, and it looks bad.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like, that s really bad.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s, that s a crime.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s a crime.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I saw some of that on the runway, you know, where I was like, this is,
1
SPEAKER_00
a really expensive jacket, and it looks kind of cheap, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
That s a shame.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, I saw some really cool, interesting fur coats that were furry in a way, but they were using an unusual type of furry material.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I saw one that looked sort of like a sheep, and like, that was cool, because it looked like a fur coat, but then it was sort of more like yarn-ish, maybe?
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t—
1
SPEAKER_00
But you get what I m saying.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think unique takes on it are exciting.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like I thought that that was really cool.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think it s interesting that fur coats are coming back in because, I don t know, I think people are much more aware nowadays of the harms of wearing fur, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
And so it s interesting to see fur coats come back into style because
1
SPEAKER_00
I think a lot of people and most people, honestly, are like, I don t want to wear fur.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it s the same thing with even leather.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anything that involves, you know, an animal, I think is sort of controversial in a way, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
So to see it sort of come back in, in such a big way, there was so much fur happening.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s interesting.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think the way that we re going to see this manifest in the culture is a lot of fur.
1
SPEAKER_00
I actually see this becoming a big trend.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think most people are going to opt for faux fur for many reasons, but I think it s going to be a trend.
1
SPEAKER_00
I also think branching off of that, there s going to be, you know, little fur details, whether that s at the bottom hem of a pant or at the wrist of a long sleeve shirt.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
I could see that happening, but I don t think it s going to be in the same way that we saw on the runway because the
1
SPEAKER_00
big, massive fur coats that were on the runway are not wearable, ultimately.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re too big.
1
SPEAKER_00
You would struggle to walk around in one of those fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
They were too big.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I think what we re going to see is big fur coats, but manageable fur coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
Not that big.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I think it s interesting because when I think of a fur coat, I think of more maximalist fashion.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
like a big fluffy fur coat to me, is not necessarily minimal.
1
SPEAKER_00
However, it sort of is, I guess, in a way, because the silhouette of it is somewhat simple, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
So I guess it still sort of fits in with that trend that s happening in the zeitgeist now of minimalism.
1
SPEAKER_00
But maybe, maybe it s a sign that we re about to enter a phase of maximalism again, but slowly.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it starts
1
SPEAKER_00
where everybody s swinging in the opposite direction, rejecting maximalism, going all in on the simple silhouettes, nothing flashy, and then it slowly builds back up to being maximalist over time.
1
SPEAKER_00
Slowly but surely, that might be what s happening, and this might be the first sign of that coming back in.
1
SPEAKER_00
Who knows?
1
SPEAKER_00
And maybe I m overanalyzing it, and I don t know what I m talking about.
1
SPEAKER_00
So love you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Moving on.
1
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of stiff, rigid, sculptural pieces, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
Like for example, a stiff leather dress that honestly probably is made of plastic on the inside.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s that rigid, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about stiff plastic, like the type of plastic that would be used in a water bottle, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
Obviously it s not so stiff that it s like
1
SPEAKER_00
you can t move it or bend it at all, but it s rigid enough that it s almost always in its form, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
I saw a dress that it was like black leather, but it was super stiff on the body and it had breasts sort of built out on the dress, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
It had these manufactured sort of boobs, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
And it was super
1
SPEAKER_00
rounded on the bottom half so like where the skirt would be it sort of peplumed out in this very stiff way okay that was something that I saw I actually saw multiple dresses like that on the runway there were actually now I m thinking about it there was a lot of that there were like trench coats that were like that there were super sculptural like stiff stiff stiff okay
1
SPEAKER_00
I hope I painted that picture right, but I saw a lot of that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, I love how this looks, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
It looks so cool.
1
SPEAKER_00
Every single time I saw it look like that, I was like, ooh, yum, I love that.
1
SPEAKER_00
It looks amazing, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
It looks so cool.
1
SPEAKER_00
It looks sort of like Polly Pocket clothes, like it looks like doll clothes.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s something sort of dystopian about it, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
It looks like a video game or something.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s very satisfying to look at.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s also satisfying to look at because there s not one wrinkle in it.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s not one wrinkle in it.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s perfect, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s sort of perfect in a way.
1
SPEAKER_00
because it is so sculptural and it doesn t move.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I have a hard time imagining this trend actually making its way into culture because I don t think that these pieces are wearable, to be honest.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, they look amazing, but you can t sit in them.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re too stiff.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re too rigid.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you re wearing one of these dresses, you re not sitting.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
1
SPEAKER_00
There s no way.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know, I ve been thinking a lot about how this could translate into actual trends that, you know, the masses are wearing.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just don t know what that looks like.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe there s a less extreme version.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s using a rigid material that s less rigid, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
So you can still sit in it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But would that then lose the effect of the design itself?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
We ll see if that makes its way into the trend cycle.
2
SPEAKER_00
I could maybe see this becoming a trend in tops, like, because with the top, I don t know, like all your main hinges on your body, what your,
2
SPEAKER_00
waist when you sit or your hips, I guess, when you sit in your knees, you know, none of that is obstructed with a top.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I mean, unless you re like hunching over, I guess it couldn t be a long sleeve top, though, because then your elbows wouldn t work.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know how this is going to make its way in.
2
SPEAKER_00
And maybe it won t.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s just something that
2
SPEAKER_00
we appreciate the art of, but we can t really adopt ourselves unless we wanna not move our limbs and have our joints be, well, we give our joints a break, that s for sure, but that s not very practical.
2
SPEAKER_00
So interesting, it s interesting to see something like that be so prevalent on the runway and be like, I actually don t think that this is functional though.
2
SPEAKER_00
So how does this manifest in the world?
2
SPEAKER_00
I m very curious to see, but I will say,
2
SPEAKER_00
It s something that I love.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I would maybe buy a piece like that if I could find one that was wearable but still had the same effect visually.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, we ll see.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next.
2
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of delicate pajama-like knits, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
I saw a few pajama-like looks on the runway, which was very interesting to me.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because in all the collections that they were present in, it like came out of nowhere.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, what?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, what is this?
2
SPEAKER_00
But I saw it a few times, so I have to mention it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about thin, white, blue-ish, sort of pastel-y sort of fabrics, sort of sheer, in pajama-like silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like when we think of pajamas, we think of
2
SPEAKER_00
little button-up long-sleeve tops and, you know, soft shorts and little soft tank tops and, you know, with little buttons and maybe a little bow or something.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, you get the idea.
2
SPEAKER_00
Little pajamas, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
I saw that on the runway.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I love
2
SPEAKER_00
this.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so pretty and dainty and it looks soft and comfortable and appealing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like when you look at someone wearing that type of clothing, you re like, oh, they look so comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it looks like they re in their pajamas.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, what was interesting was all the looks that I saw on the runway were very pajama in all sense of the word.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like they looked like
2
SPEAKER_00
something that someone would wear to bed, but yet they were sort of styled in a way that they would be worn out.
2
SPEAKER_00
And maybe this is a sign that we re bringing the pajamas out of the bedroom and we re bringing them to the world.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I actually kind of love that because I love these materials.
2
SPEAKER_00
I actually love these silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
The materials, again, as I said, look soft.
2
SPEAKER_00
They look dainty.
2
SPEAKER_00
They look pretty.
2
SPEAKER_00
When you see someone in that type of clothing, you re like, ah,
2
SPEAKER_00
They look so comfortable and they look so sweet and there s something so endearing about it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then on top of that, it s flattering too.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love the idea of pajama-esque clothing becoming more trendy for out of the home because I think that, why not?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, if you take all societal expectations out of it and all societal rules, if something s comfy and you love to wear it and you feel good in it,
2
SPEAKER_00
wear it out of the house, even if it s considered pajamas.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who cares?
2
SPEAKER_00
So, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think it ll be a while before we see people like actually wearing full pajama-like looks out of the house.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, people already sort of do that, but I think that we ll be seeing more pajama-like pieces styled, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, let me give an example.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, little pajama-looking shorts with like a t-shirt and like socks and sneakers.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s already kind of started to happen.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve actually seen that a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_00
So maybe this was a reflection of things that are already happening out in the world.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I could also imagine like a pajama like top paired with jeans, you know, and like that being.
2
SPEAKER_00
But again, like that s kind of already happening, I guess.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, but I thought it was nice, so no complaints.
2
SPEAKER_00
Next, I saw a lot of bows, which was interesting because I think that the bows being present in all these collections was not fashion thinking first.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was the culture thinking first.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because there s been a lot of bows happening for the last year probably, maybe even a few years.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen a lot of bows.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like bows have been very trendy, like tying bows on everything.
2
SPEAKER_00
and that s not going anywhere because I saw a lot of bows.
2
SPEAKER_00
Bows are still very relevant, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
A dress with bows all over it, you know, a big jacket with a big bow on the front, like just bows, like ribbons, bows, it s all happening.
2
SPEAKER_00
I am sort of neutral on this trend, like, I think it can be done well, almost in a way where you re not even thinking about the bow piece of
2
SPEAKER_00
the outfit or of the clothing piece it sort of just naturally becomes a part of the outfit or of the piece and it just works and that s great.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think sometimes the bows can be sort of overdone to a point where it s like okay let s relax you know what I mean like slapping bows all over something can feel maybe overly trendy in a way like bows are classic like I don t know but when the trend is leaned into too hard maybe it can
2
SPEAKER_00
become a little corny in my eyes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who am I to talk, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
What do I know?
2
SPEAKER_00
But that s my read on it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I like the use of bows, even dramatic bows or a lot of bows, if it s done in a way that feels unique and natural and cool and
2
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t feel like a reaction to the trend, but it feels like just a genuinely thoughtfully made piece.
2
SPEAKER_00
Then I m like, yeah, that s cool.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think it s already a trend and I think that the trend will probably end soon and Bose will return to just being.
2
SPEAKER_00
a detail that we see every once in a while you know it won t be a trend they ll never go away they re bows like we will always have bows on things but yeah it ll just go back to being something that we see every once in a while because i feel like it was already a trend and then now it s on the runway it s like okay we re done maybe like i think people will be done with it soon so i think that was the last season for bows i don t think bows are going to be as serious next season but what do i know again what do i know i m just fucking spitballing here okay sue me
2
SPEAKER_00
Next, I saw a lot of 1960s silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about pencil skirts, you know, skirts that cut off at the knee, little matching jackets, boxy dresses, cute little plain sweaters, you know, classy little shoes with it, like a little loafer looking thing or some sort of flat or like a short little heel or whatever.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love the 1960s silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I fucking, I love it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, really sparked joy for me this season.
2
SPEAKER_00
Anytime I saw a 1960s silhouette, I was like, wow, that s just amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I fucking love that.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think what was cool to see, though, was that it did feel somewhat modern on the runway.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I saw it done in a way that does feel current.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, it didn t look like a costume version of a 1960s person, you know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_00
It felt like a slightly modernized version of the 60s silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
whether it was by using different materials, like, I don t know, maybe integrating leather in a way that s sort of unique or maybe slightly modernizing the silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, for example, I saw this simple short-sleeve sweater.
2
SPEAKER_00
And the sleeves were a little shorter than I think what was popular in the 60s.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like it felt a bit more modern in that way.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I loved it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just, I loved it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love it because it s comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s practical.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s totally timeless in my opinion.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you know, things like pencil skirts are not always in.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like pencil skirts are not always in.
2
SPEAKER_00
I d argue that they re timeless, but they re definitely not always in.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_00
You can always make a pencil skirt cool.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s always a world where that can happen, but they re not always in.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think that the way that they re being done now is just so, I love it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love all the 1960s silhouettes.
2
SPEAKER_00
You will see me wearing sort of medium length skirts, whether it s
2
SPEAKER_00
you know cutting off at the knee or maybe right below the knee with a cute little plain sweater and a cute little matching jacket like I love that and I would love to do that with a cute little easy shoe some sort of loafer adjacent shoe and like a sock always I mean I have to always wear a sock with that type of vibe but
2
SPEAKER_00
I love that or with like a little kitten heel, you know, it s it feels retro.
2
SPEAKER_00
It feels vintage, but it can feel hot and cool and young, too, if it s if it s experimented with a little bit, you know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think these 60s silhouettes are going to come back, for sure.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it s going to become cool again to sort of dress like your grandma a little bit.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, like I think we re going to see the younger generations, you know, my generation, Gen Z, maybe even millennials.
3
SPEAKER_00
wearing what is traditionally known as clothing for people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, these silhouettes are known as almost sort of grandma-esque clothing.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, I m not saying that in a derogatory way, but
3
SPEAKER_00
There s no denying that, you know, there are stereotypes about how people in certain age groups dress, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think because these silhouettes come from the 60s, when our grandparents were, I don t know, how old were they?
3
SPEAKER_00
20 maybe, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
A lot of them haven t changed their style.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe they re wearing the same sort of thing, right, that they were wearing during their 20s.
3
SPEAKER_00
We just think of these silhouettes as being for maybe people of a different generation, of an older generation, but I think it s really exciting to see them become relevant now and I think it will be picked up on.
3
SPEAKER_00
I see this becoming a trend and I m excited about it because I think
3
SPEAKER_00
These are chic, timeless, really elegant, but yet practical and comfortable designs.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love them.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I m stoked.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think that the sort of feeling around these silhouettes are going to change in a way that s palpable, you know, like, it ll go from being like, oh, that s like a grandma outfit to being like, cute and chic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Whoa, we love that, you know, like, it s just gonna change.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I could I could see that for sure.
3
SPEAKER_00
Next, I saw a lot of monochromatic outfits, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, all red outfits, you know, all maroon outfits, all mustard yellow outfits, all dark gray outfits, you know, like charcoal gray outfits, all black, a lot of all black outfits.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God, so much all black.
3
SPEAKER_00
Monochromatic meaning every single piece in the look is exactly the same.
3
SPEAKER_00
If it s a monochromatic mustard yellow look, the top, the jacket, the bag, the pants, the shoe, like everything is the same color.
3
SPEAKER_00
I like this because it s easy and practical and it always looks chic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like you just naturally look put together if everything that you re wearing matches.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, I think it s satisfying to look at.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it almost always looks cool.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I don t know if people agree with me because I feel like I didn t always like monochromatic outfits.
3
SPEAKER_00
I used to think it was too matchy-matchy and it was almost sort of cringe a little bit because it felt forced.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like you re forcing yourself to wear all the same color, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like it felt forced.
3
SPEAKER_00
Unless it was an all-black outfit or an all-gray outfit, unless it was an all-neutral colored outfit, so like all-black,
3
SPEAKER_00
all gray, all beige, it felt sort of forced.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like wearing an all red outfit, an all blue outfit, an all mustard outfit felt forced.
3
SPEAKER_00
But you know what I think makes it work is when the color that s chosen is a really palatable sort of color.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like for example, if somebody s wearing a monochromatic neon pink outfit, that s tough.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s a tough one to pull off.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t love that, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
But that s also because I don t like neon pink, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
If somebody wears a monochromatic maroon outfit, that s a much more timeless color.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s more classy, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
And so it works.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I think it comes down to what color is being chosen.
3
SPEAKER_00
And on the runway, I saw a lot of understated sort of colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
Easy on the eyes, dark blue, maroon, mustard yellow, you know, like, again, easy on the eyes.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what other way to put it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m curious about whether or not monochromatic outfits are going to become trendy.
3
SPEAKER_00
I could see it because there is something so convenient about it in a way.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I think it s particularly convenient with more neutral colors, like all black outfits, all gray outfits, all beige outfits, all brown outfits, like that s easy.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, a lot of us have those neutral colors in our closets.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like easy to create a monochromatic outfit with neutrals, you know, because a lot of us have those neutrals to begin with.
3
SPEAKER_00
What I am curious about and what I can t necessarily predict is whether all maroon outfits, all mustard outfits, etc.
3
SPEAKER_00
are going to become trendy because you kind of have to make more of an effort with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like you have to go and buy a bunch of maroon pieces of clothing that all are the same shade of maroon or else it doesn t really work.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
So the inconvenience of that makes me think that that will not be a huge trend necessarily.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, wearing all black, all gray, all beige is kind of always in.
3
SPEAKER_00
Someone s always doing it, you know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it ll become more trendy than ever, but I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m curious to see if people start really leaning into the monochromatic.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I honestly want to lean into it a little bit.
3
SPEAKER_00
The only one that s hard for me is all white, like white top, white pants, white shoe.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like that s, there s something about that that I just don t think I ll ever do.
3
SPEAKER_00
I just don t like it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe because I m worried about it getting dirty and it s just too stressful for me or maybe I just don t like how it looks.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t really know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I kind of just don t like how it looks for some reason.
3
SPEAKER_00
White is just so sharp on the eye.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
Just I don t like it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But
3
SPEAKER_00
We ll see what happens there.
3
SPEAKER_00
Next, I already sort of mentioned this, but I saw a lot of understated color palettes, like not a lot of bright colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of neutral colors, black, beige, brown, gray, et cetera.
3
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of like jewel-toned colors, you know, like deep reds, rich yellows, deep yellows, you know, darker colors, like less,
3
SPEAKER_00
bright, less uncomfortable on the eye.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, oh, I even saw like some sage greens in there, you know, like it was just it s pleasant on the eye.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love these colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
I like only want to wear these colors anymore.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t love wearing bright colors anymore.
3
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of rich colors, but I also did see some sort of pastels as well.
3
SPEAKER_00
And the pastels are pleasant on the eye as well, but it was like all very muted versions of colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
It wasn t sharp.
3
SPEAKER_00
It felt, they almost felt sort of like the most neutral version of the colors that they could be.
3
SPEAKER_00
They weren t super potent.
3
SPEAKER_00
and it s nice on the eye it s really nice on the eye it s soothing to look at and it s honestly more flattering in a lot of ways like super bright colors just don t look good on me they do maybe look good on some people they definitely probably do but i don t know like i think almost everyone if you were to take anyone on the planet and take a picture of them in a neon pink shirt and then take a picture of them in like a pastel pink shirt
3
SPEAKER_00
I think most people, if not all people, are gonna look better in the pastel pink shirt.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you took anybody and you put them in a bright, bright, bright red shirt, or you put them in a more maroony shirt, I think most people are gonna look better in the more maroony shirt.
3
SPEAKER_00
Bright colors just tend to overwhelm people s features.
3
SPEAKER_00
I can t explain it, but it just doesn t normally look good.
3
SPEAKER_00
It rarely looks good.
3
SPEAKER_00
Although I did actually see a lot of classic red, red, like bright red.
3
SPEAKER_00
That was kind of a reoccurring theme.
3
SPEAKER_00
Red.
3
SPEAKER_00
Just red as a color.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot more of these more muted colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
So that red.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t even want to address it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just it s like it s the color red.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t.
3
SPEAKER_00
How do you even talk about that?
3
SPEAKER_00
That s less of a theme.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, yeah, I saw that color a lot, but it s also like.
3
SPEAKER_00
Am I just imagining that one?
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, I m loving the muted colors.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yum, yum, yum.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think that will show up in the trends.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I think it already kind of has.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t think anyone s talking about neons right now or even just bright colors in general.
3
SPEAKER_00
I feel like most people are gravitating towards more muted colors right now just because it goes along with the more minimalist
3
SPEAKER_00
phase that we re going through in fashion, you know, like people are not gravitating towards the eye-catching, the loud as much maybe.
3
SPEAKER_00
Next.
3
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of black and white outfits, but particularly black and white sort of suiting
3
SPEAKER_00
like classic suiting like white button up in various different forms with some sort of tie and some sort of suit jacket okay and then some sort of classy pant it could be a skirt it could be you know slacks it could be whatever but i saw a lot of that and it was done in quite a few different ways like some felt sort of victorian some felt more just like kind of generic i don t know
3
SPEAKER_00
But obviously the black and white suit is very classic.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s very timeless.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I don t know, it sort of reminded me of, like there s something sort of gothic about it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like I ve been saying that I think it s going to be a trend to dress like Count Dracula.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I m not kidding.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s kind of how a lot of these suits look.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like if you look up Count Dracula right now, he s wearing a black and white sort of suit, sort of dramatic suit.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I saw a lot of things like that on the runway.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, oh my God, this is very Count Dracula to me, the sort of classic black and white suiting.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think it s cool.
4
SPEAKER_00
It does have a weird little gothic undertone.
4
SPEAKER_00
That could just be my imagination.
4
SPEAKER_00
Again, I don t know what I m talking about, but I really like it because not only is it timeless, but there s something really cool and weirdly edgy about it, which is ironic because it s like,
4
SPEAKER_00
A black and white suit is as classic as it gets, but I think the silhouettes that I saw on the runway were a bit more dramatic, a bit more maybe Victorian-esque, which makes them feel a bit more gothic, which then makes them feel a bit more edgy.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I don t know, I m really into it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I think, yeah, it just feels kind of like cool Dracula.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m into it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I actually don t know why I like it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m trying to explain why I like it, and I m realizing that I don t even know.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think it s because I ve always in my heart sort of liked gothic clothing, like anything that feels sort of gothic.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved that.
4
SPEAKER_00
And this falls into that category in a very mild and nuanced way, in a very wearable way, really.
4
SPEAKER_00
Because there s a range of gothic styles.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can go full gothic or you can just be lightly gothic and dress like Count Dracula.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
Now, I think this classic black and white suiting will... I don t know if it s going to become trendy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve been predicting it for months for some reason.
4
SPEAKER_00
Everyone s going to dress like Count Dracula.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve been predicting this for some reason and I don t know why.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I was manifesting it for myself because I just love this vibe.
4
SPEAKER_00
The only thing that I think is challenging about it is that it requires a level of tailoring, like you have to go and get a suit top like that sort of tailored a lot of times and
4
SPEAKER_00
I guess maybe not.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe if it s made of like stretchier material, maybe.
4
SPEAKER_00
So maybe, maybe it will take off.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think sort of vaguely gothic styles are going to come back in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe as a response to a combination of the 2010s maximalism being like bright and neon and cheetah print and weird galaxy print and shit like that.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe as a response to that, and then also as a response to minimalism, which is like the complete opposite, it s like so simple, it s so timeless, it s so just, you know, what do you even say about it?
4
SPEAKER_00
It s just, it is what it is.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe the response to both of those things is something a bit more gothic, you know, like a vampire vibe, a Dracula vibe.
4
SPEAKER_00
But also, you know, when you look throughout the years, there s always been people who have gravitated towards that aesthetic, and it s sort of always been present, but maybe it ll have a mainstream moment this year.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love it.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, I ve been seeing people on TikTok and stuff, well, not TikTok, I don t have TikTok, I guess on Instagram Reels, like doing their makeup, making it look like they have bloodshot eyes or like dark circles under their eyes, like, you know, making themselves look
4
SPEAKER_00
pale in a way like not bronzing their cheekbones and stuff like that to bring color to the face like instead just washing out the face and sort of doing a more vampire sort of aesthetic and maybe that s just my algorithm because I like
4
SPEAKER_00
sort of gothic vibe and I always watch those videos all the way through, but also maybe it s happening.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s becoming mainstream that that s a cool vibe.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
We ll see.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next.
4
SPEAKER_00
This is kind of random, but I saw a lot of skinny belts.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like skinny little
4
SPEAKER_00
belts.
4
SPEAKER_00
I saw them over dresses.
4
SPEAKER_00
This kind of goes hand in hand with like the 60s silhouettes.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, imagine like a boxy sort of dress with a little skinny belt around it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I saw that.
4
SPEAKER_00
Just skinny belts.
4
SPEAKER_00
They were around.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I saw them around a few times.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I really love a skinny belt.
4
SPEAKER_00
I sort of forgot about them because I don t often wear them, to be honest.
4
SPEAKER_00
I tend to wear
4
SPEAKER_00
sort of, I would say medium-sized belts, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
Like medium thickness, maybe an inch thick, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
A lot of these belts are like a centimeter thick.
4
SPEAKER_00
Very dainty.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I love the way that they look.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I love the way that they look around a trench coat.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love the way that they look around a dress.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love the way that they look in a dress pant or in a skirt.
4
SPEAKER_00
I particularly love a belt that matches the piece that it s belting.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, for example,
4
SPEAKER_00
a dark green trench coat with a dark green thin belt around it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Or like a black dress with a black thin belt.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like it just looks so good.
4
SPEAKER_00
It adds this dimension.
4
SPEAKER_00
It, you know, brings a bit of attention to the waist, but it s subtle.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I love the way that this looks.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think it s so cute.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think that it s going to become a trend because it s kind of an easy thing to find.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, this is an easy accessory to go pick up.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can go to any thrift store right now and find a thin belt.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, they re everywhere.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
And I don t think that they were as trendy over the last few years.
4
SPEAKER_00
So there s probably a lot of them in the thrift store right now.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, it s just an easy one to go pick up.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I could see this becoming a trend because it s easy, you know?
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think a lot of times that s when things become a trend is when they re easy and they re doable, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
big, massive statement belts, that s maybe a more challenging trend.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s harder to wear those with things.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can t often fit them through your belt loops, et cetera.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re not as convenient.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re not as usable.
4
SPEAKER_00
So people just aren t going to gravitate towards that trend.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s going to have a harder time taking off because it s just not as easy.
4
SPEAKER_00
But the little, cute, dainty little belts, easy.
4
SPEAKER_00
Anyone can go pick up a mini belt right now like that, a little thin belt, easy.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I definitely see that happening.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think accessory trends tend to pick up a lot easier because it s just like the barrier to entry is just not nearly as challenging.
4
SPEAKER_00
Next we have a lot of hoods.
4
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of hoods up on the runway.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like a lot of outfits where the hood was up like that was a part of the outfit that
4
SPEAKER_00
Whether it was a jacket with the hood up or it was a dress that had a hood built in, I saw a lot of hoods.
4
SPEAKER_00
And this to me was very exciting because there s no better feeling than having my head warm and covered and cozy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love that feeling.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I wear hoodies all the time.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m wearing a hoodie right now.
4
SPEAKER_00
My hood is up.
4
SPEAKER_00
because I love the sensation of having a hood on.
4
SPEAKER_00
Even sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I ll put on my robe and a beanie.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I should just get a hooded robe.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, I m not, I don t need a new robe.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ll just use the beanie for now.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I love this because I love the sensation.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like I love wearing a hood.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
It just feels good for me for some reason.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I also like the way that it looks and the feeling that it has.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like there s something about having the hood up that feels
4
SPEAKER_00
cool it feels effortless it feels kind of like i don t care don t talk to me you know what i mean like i m incognito like don t talk to me it has this sort of cool mysterious vibe to it in a way and i actually bought this big
4
SPEAKER_00
sort of stiff actually, it s kind of stiff and structured, not quite like the pieces I was talking about earlier, but it was definitely stiff and structured.
4
SPEAKER_00
This stiff and structured hoodie, and it has this really comfortable hood.
4
SPEAKER_00
I wore this hoodie out because it s more of like a, it s not a hoodie, it s more of like a stiff sweater.
4
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t feel like a sweatshirt, you know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, I wore it out to dinner a few weeks ago, maybe a few months ago now,
4
SPEAKER_00
And I was having a really bad hair day.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so I actually wore the hood up because the piece is maybe a bit more fashionable.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like I felt like I could get away with it, like wearing it like that to dinner.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I wore that with like cool glasses that were appropriate to wear at night and a black long skirt.
4
SPEAKER_00
And honestly, kind of like a creeper-esque shoe, like kind of a gothic shoe, creeper, not really gothic, barely.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like, but kind of, anyway.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I wore the hood up the whole night, like the entire dinner, I wore my hood up.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I loved it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It was so comfortable and I felt safe and I felt incognito and it was just so nice.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I felt like I could get away with it because of the specific outfit that I was wearing.
4
SPEAKER_00
It just felt okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Because normally like wearing a hood in a restaurant is probably like kind of rude, but you know, anyway.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love the vibe that it gives off.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love the way it looks.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love the way it feels.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think hoods are in.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think hoods are already kind of in.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think they re only going to become more in.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I think in more intentional ways, you know, like maybe pieces that are made to be worn out to dinner, for example, but have a hood built in that you can wear.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
4
SPEAKER_00
Because like a lot of times the hooded clothing that we have is like sweatshirts and hoodies, you know, like
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t find a lot of clothing pieces that have a built-in hood that aren t a hoodie, you know?
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, yeah, maybe a jacket sometimes, but often not sweaters, not shirts.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I could see hoods becoming a detail that are included in all sorts of tops and dresses and things like that in unique ways.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think
5
SPEAKER_00
that s really cool.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I d love to see that.
5
SPEAKER_00
I also saw a lot of really dramatically high turtlenecks.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love a turtleneck.
5
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved a turtleneck.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t even need to dig into it.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re such a staple.
5
SPEAKER_00
But a lot of the turtlenecks I was seeing on the runway were like dramatic high turtlenecks, like going past the mouth, okay?
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, sometimes even covering the nose.
5
SPEAKER_00
I actually like this because I don t think it s completely ridiculous and stupid.
5
SPEAKER_00
When it s really cold out, it s kind of nice to have a really dramatically high turtleneck to pull over your mouth to keep your face warm.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s not a completely inconvenient piece.
5
SPEAKER_00
On top of that, it looks cool.
5
SPEAKER_00
It kind of has the same feel as a hood.
5
SPEAKER_00
It feels sort of incognito.
5
SPEAKER_00
it is comfortable because, I don t know if this is a toxic thing or a negative thing, but I love sort of covering up sometimes.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, it s nice.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, I like to feel covered up and secure.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, it s kind of a joy and a pleasure sometimes to
5
SPEAKER_00
pull your turtleneck over your mouth and to just sort of have your eyes showing and to feel sort of hidden.
5
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes that s a nice feeling and I don t know I love the idea of turtlenecks becoming like a face cover as well as a turtleneck and it makes sense like it s very natural to do that.
5
SPEAKER_00
I could definitely see this becoming a trend because turtlenecks are always in like they re just
5
SPEAKER_00
such a staple, but then being slightly dramatized is not completely ridiculous.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like the thicker neckline of a dramatic turtleneck, honestly, it looks great.
5
SPEAKER_00
It sort of looks like you re wearing a scarf sometimes, which is cute and again, sort of timeless, but then pulling it over your mouth or having it go sort of
5
SPEAKER_00
high up, maybe even kissing your ears or in like the bottom of your chin even, like that s comfortable and honestly flattering on everyone and it can even be convenient during the wintertime because you can pull it up over your mouth.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know, I could see that having a moment.
5
SPEAKER_00
Next we have, I don t know how to phrase this, but
5
SPEAKER_00
Let s just say vintage-looking patterns and prints.
5
SPEAKER_00
When I say vintage, I m thinking of old floral prints, like roses.
5
SPEAKER_00
If you were to go to a thrift store and look at all the tablecloths, what do those fabrics look like?
5
SPEAKER_00
You might find a tablecloth that has a bunch of fruit on it, like fruit illustrations.
5
SPEAKER_00
You might find one with a bunch of roses on it.
5
SPEAKER_00
There was a lot of that on the runway.
5
SPEAKER_00
I saw a lot of prints like that, a lot of floral prints, especially.
5
SPEAKER_00
And again, this is actually sort of grandma-esque.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now, again, I m not saying that in a mean way.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m just saying that a lot of our grandmas now have curtains or couches or tablecloths made with those sorts of patterns because that s what was trendy 50, 60 years ago.
5
SPEAKER_00
and it s coming back.
5
SPEAKER_00
Those patterns are coming back, but now in the form of clothing.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s almost like taking those old tablecloths and curtains and whatever and turning it into clothes.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m not quite sure if those patterns were popular for clothes back in the day or just for home.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now that I think about it, I associate those patterns with the home
5
SPEAKER_00
and not as much with clothing.
5
SPEAKER_00
So it s kind of interesting.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe that was a home decor trend back then, and now it s resurfacing as more of a clothing trend, which is interesting.
5
SPEAKER_00
Or maybe it was a clothing trend back then, and I m just uneducated and stupid.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I actually don t hate these patterns necessarily.
5
SPEAKER_00
I mean, they are sort of corny in some ways.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, they sort of feel corny.
5
SPEAKER_00
But that s kind of what I like about them in a way.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t think that they re timeless necessarily.
5
SPEAKER_00
because they re too specific.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, they re so specific and they re so loud in a way that I don t think they re timeless.
5
SPEAKER_00
But I appreciate them for what they are and I like them.
5
SPEAKER_00
When I look at them, I m not like, that s hideous.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m kind of happy to see that sort of pattern back, those sort of florals back.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because florals are almost always cringe to me.
5
SPEAKER_00
But this sort of tablecloth-esque floral doesn t feel as cringe to me.
5
SPEAKER_00
If anything, modern florals feels cringe to me.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t like modern floral patterns.
5
SPEAKER_00
It tends to be really not, I don t like it.
5
SPEAKER_00
but retro ones I do.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if this is going to become a trend.
5
SPEAKER_00
That might ve just been like something that the fashion designers were into this season, but I, my gut tells me that this is not going to take off.
5
SPEAKER_00
But it totally could.
5
SPEAKER_00
What s unfortunate about it though is that if it does become a trend, I think it will be something that doesn t last very long.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I think people will go out and buy pieces that include these sort of patterns and then they ll end up regretting it because it feels stale very quickly.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s the problem with super distinct, super specific patterns is that they tend to go stale really quickly.
5
SPEAKER_00
Those trends tend to come and go real quick because it s so easily to become fatigued by something that s so specific.
5
SPEAKER_00
Whereas something more vague, like a simple white T-shirt, it s like we re never gonna become fatigued by a simple white T-shirt.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s just, it s too basic, it s too simple.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then last but not least, I saw a lot of oversized clothing, a lot of baggy, oversized clothing, like baggy pants, big oversized jacket, sleeves are really long, shoulders are too wide for the shoulders, you know, like a lot of oversized baggy pieces.
5
SPEAKER_00
And this I love because
5
SPEAKER_00
Not only do I think it can really look cool just because there s something effortless about it, there s something sort of nonchalant about it.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s like, wow, like there s something kind of cool about it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like when somebody s wearing sort of baggy clothes, I don t know, it just it does have a cool feel to it, but also it s fucking comfortable.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I m stoked.
5
SPEAKER_00
I saw this and I was like, great.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love being baggy and comfy.
5
SPEAKER_00
Talk about feeling like you re walking around in your PJs.
5
SPEAKER_00
What a great trend.
5
SPEAKER_00
I d much rather that than skin-tight fucking latex, which looks amazing, by the way.
5
SPEAKER_00
It looks fucking amazing.
5
SPEAKER_00
Anytime I put on latex, I m like, wow, that looks good.
5
SPEAKER_00
But then I m like, nothing has ever felt worse.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I m always stoked to see this as a trend.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think this has already sort of been a trend but I think it will continue to become even more of a trend and I m excited about that because it s fucking comfortable and it s fun to wear and I love it.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Those are all the trends that I saw this fashion week.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think the things that I m particularly excited about are the mesh.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love the mesh.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love the 1960s silhouettes.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m so excited about that.
5
SPEAKER_00
Love the monochromatic.
5
SPEAKER_00
Love the skinny belts.
5
SPEAKER_00
Love the hoods.
5
SPEAKER_00
So excited about the hoods.
5
SPEAKER_00
And really excited about baggy clothes, as always.
5
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I m always excited about baggy clothes.
5
SPEAKER_00
Oh, and the sort of gothic black and white suit.
5
SPEAKER_00
Love.
5
SPEAKER_00
So, that s that.
5
SPEAKER_00
That was my Fashion Week analysis.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s all I have for today.
5
SPEAKER_00
I really felt like I got a lot off my chest.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, now I think I m good.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, I can go back.
5
SPEAKER_00
I got that all off my chest.
5
SPEAKER_00
I talked about fashion so much that now I m sick of fashion and don t want to think about it for the next six months until there s another Fashion Week.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, I do not want to think about clothes ever again.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I can think about something else.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what yet.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s drama.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it is... I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s a new hobby.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I ll start a new book.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like it s something else.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now something will take its place.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I can t wait to find out what it is.
5
SPEAKER_00
Oh, maybe I ll go through another cooking phase because that ended.
5
SPEAKER_00
I had a cooking phase and it ended.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I ll get back into it now that I have all this empty brain space.
5
SPEAKER_00
So we ll see.
5
SPEAKER_00
I really appreciate you all for listening and I hope that you enjoyed this.
5
SPEAKER_00

5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe you are going to try out a new way of styling yourself in the morning.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe you re not.
5
SPEAKER_00
Maybe this further confirmed that you don t give a fuck about the trends and that you do your own thing.
