Hamlet said, the survival or destruction? This is a problem. Now, for the fashion watchers and fashion critics, the fashion trends of life and death has become a problem. Here are two industry embarked on a discussion.
##OUT: not a fashion trend
Christina Binkley (U.S. columnist)
David Wolfe has analyzed trends in style, 41 years; but not long ago, Doneger Group's creative director, Mr. Wolfe, standing at a full retail manager's room, told them: "No there is a trend of, all trendy."
Even fashion media for the February 11 New York Fashion Week trend began actively preparing for carnival, many observers believe that Mr. Wolfe is right: in fashion, we have reached the end of the trend as a bondage-oriented. "Must" is to connect a particular style - trench-style coat! Shoulder dress! Metallic! This is nothing short kinds of marketing strategies.
Over the past five years, the trench-style coat has always been popular, and next year will also be hot. In fact, this is a safe bet, in February of the T-stage, we will see every possible skirt length, the width of trouser legs and shirt tailoring, and sometimes even at the same show to display all.
With the skirt length or the contours of fuss this season, there is now rather like to see the way in their own dress code, choose the kind of praise from their own body shape and fit their lifestyle look. Most of us in their social group or profession to dress, rather than fashion trends, with clothes to pass information on who we are.
High-tech industry, one of the Chief Executive may wear GAP denim pants and sports jackets to work, while the investment banking business executives are loyal to their Zegna suits. Other people's dress according to their tribal customs: If you do not dress up punk, you do not even know that this is a style (think 19th century dress with a pocket watch of the Pima A mad scientist).
There was a time, luxury retailers, department stores within Manmakusi (Neiman Marcus) and wave-Astoria Goodman department stores (Bergdorf Goodman) and Andrew Goodman of women on a quarterly basis the decision will be what to buy. This bookworm who is not cool to go back to the era, for some reason, a woman's coat must be longer than her skirt. Whether or not they want to wear short skirts, fashionable women who buy only this kind of fashion. Although the fashion has changed, but the primary trend has not changed: until a few years ago, did not self-respecting young people but also because wearing a wrong has been arrested washed denim. In watching old movies interesting part of the fun is to see the old fashion.
Now, for me, the oldest movie fashion looks beautiful, from the 20th century the 40s film "The Philadelphia Story" where the sound of howling Katharine Hepburn wore the men's tailored pants to the 1963 film "Pink Panther "in those Baoshen ski tights.
"Trend diluted." Used in Los Angeles Clothing Store "the way we dress," the owner Doris Raymond said, "In the past 20 years, designers have been possible fashion from each period to obtain inspiration."
For nearly a decade of style consensus is split, because the workplace has become more casual, high-tech areas such as the pursuit of their own Clothing Code of Practice. At the same time, the young stars have embraced a kind of mash in the aesthetics. "The industry is breaking down, reflecting the desire of consumers to create their own style." Standard & Poor's equity research director of consumer disposable retail area, said Marie Driscoll.
Zara, H & M and Forever21 such as "fast fashion" retailers have contributed, through the clothes look to grab their territory. Last week, H & M stores in New York, sales of the floral display on the shelves of fuzzy printing, loose T-shirt, which is based on last year's September show floor show of designer appearance. When the designer clothing of their own design in March this year, when you enter the store, H & M consumers are likely to believe that the original there is a feeling of déjà vu. T-stage appearance is now easily close to everyone, but they mark also disappeared much faster.
In 2010, I welcome a democratic fashion as the various interests of the existing one. But it may be a headache to make the fashion industry, fashion industry could rely on the trend has been to attract consumers, and always maintain a trend of targeting the infrastructure in order to find out who what to buy. Forecast trends "more challenging year", the fashion consultant site Stylesight analyst Sha Lunge Lao Bade, said: "with less 'must have' style, retailers and designers must redouble our efforts."
A number of new retailers allow consumers to specify the details of clothing. "Fashion has always been a top-down business, but we can see that technology allows consumers to choose their own details." Released in 2008, custom jeans and shirts director of marketing for the San Francisco retailer IndiCustom Abihuoer Benz said. IndiDenim brand jeans for shoppers to choose custom fabrics, trouser shapes, pockets and other details.
But there is one trend is becoming increasingly dominated by market segments - Men's fashion. A fold out (less and less popular), and clean, flat in the popular pants. "Men's Encyclopedia" by and "Ask Andy" site founder ##### Forest, said: "It seems that designers and retailers are trying to get a man into a kind of 'old women' fashion trend-cycle. "
##IN: Why do fashion trends never die
Melissa Schveger (U.S. freelance writer, editor)
Fashion trends and dead? What!
"Wall Street Journal" reported that, according to a variety of fashion veteran's view of the overall trend is no longer fashionable.
Etc. Does this mean that we can do is pack up to go home?
In fact, I think the trend is more prevalent than ever. The difference is that in today's culture, we are lucky enough not to jump on the bandwagon to follow a single trend.
In the 21st century, maintaining a clear understanding of trends and no longer means that a dress or a designer clothing from head to toe a look, but mixing high and low, men and women, matriculation students and avant-garde, this is not is a trend and the natural shape.
"Wall Street Journal" said: "Instead of season for the skirt length or the contours of fuss, there is now rather like to see the way in their own dress code, choose the kind of praise from their own body shape and appearance appropriate for their lifestyle." However, this does not mean that the fashion-conscious among us will stop in the latest ratio of fabrics and colors.
"Trend diluted." Second-hand clothing store in Los Angeles, "the way we dress," Doris Raymond, owner of the newspaper said, "In the past 20 years, designers have been possible fashion from each period to obtain inspiration."
Although I agree with her words in this part of the inspiration, after all, look at the past few quarters as long as the show grounds, filled with 80 years from the 20th century to the modern style of a variety of impromptu repeat, I know what she was alluding to; but it does not mean that all of the designers just sounding name of imitators.
Last quarter, including Balenciaga (Balenciaga), and Luo Date (Rodarte) released an innovative structure, futuristic fabrics and unique process features.
Yes, the popular trend with the indicative and repeated; but at the same time, new trends in sudden, from the visually intuitive way to reflect the world around us.
"Wall Street Journal," blame the fast fashion retailers like H & M, Topshop, and Zara, to obtain them from the T-sets the trend to a much smaller price and the actual designer's products into the stores to sell them long before, this is done speed up the destruction of the trend.
However, these cheaper clothing stores do not do exactly the opposite? In fact, they make it easy to the public through the acceptance of universal trend. Although I do not condone any copy of an original design; but the season's hottest look of the inspiration, or what I have said the trend has been produced by the high-end designers out. You do not cease to be a look like just from the "fashion" magazine pages come out of New York's Upper East heiress.
Democracy may be a new fashion trend, and there is a here to stay; does not mean the demise of the trend, because we understand them.
I, for one, can not wait until Fashion Week, held in February, I could not help but look, in a brand new start of the decade what the trends will come dressed people, even though many of these trends draw inspiration from the past few decades or even centuries to come.
How do you explain the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, three big-name actress wore the same purple dress? This does not prove that trend of dynamic do?
