the pulp fiction, there are bunch of fashion elements in the 90’s. The characters all wore the clothes that can be the symbols of time. For instance, the butch suede jacket worn by the Bruce Willis are still popular today.

Sneaker
According to highsnobiety’s new article, sneakers are officially the new handbags now. The reason could be the influence of streetwear. People think sneakers can deliver the message in music or culture taste. In 2017, Balenciaga’s triple S took over the whole fashion weeks and I believe that more fashion brands will follow up this trend.

OVER-SIZED Big shoulders, long-sleeved shirt and a cinched waist: this look took over the street fashion for a while. This trend still continues to spread. For instance, more and more brands release the over-sized puffer jacket in the winter

FABRIC According to my primary research, functional fabric is still very potential in the fashion market. Due to climate change, fashion brands need to release the products against serious weather. Furthermore, sustainable issue also become what customers care about.

Pteter Saville Today, appropriation has been widely used by fashion designer such as Raf Simon. In Spring/ Summer 2018, Raf Simon used Joy Divison’s Unknown Pleasure cover. New young designers has used appropriation as a creating way no matter it is logo-flipping, bootlegging, or simply recontextualizing. This is the most definitive characteristic of today’s street wear.

Resell Mania
"Destroy Resell Mania"
"Please stop it"
If we want to say that resell should stop right now, it could be too naive. This culture has been rooted in sneaker culture for a long time. However, the value of sneakers are judged by the resell price and it will be pitiful that money is the only thing left in the sneaker culture.
Logo
"Destroy Logo on logo"

Today, fashion is like a armament race. It seems more logos mean that you are more stylish than others. However, there are still lots of classic clothes without logos. Real classic clothes can stand the test of time.
