A tribute to nerdy cool, the vibe is fashionable in an awkward way, with schoolgirl naïveté and a playful mix of print and pattern. An ingénue with an eccentric side, she looks like she shops at estate sales and vintage stores. The offbeat sensibility of Wes Anderson’s Margot Tenenbaum and Gucci’s Pre-Fall collection are the inspiration and influence for this look. The new vintage prepster is retroinspired but redefined for the modern trendsetter.
