Everything in fashion comes back, well almost everything, sooner or later. Lately it feels like things come back season after season, or perhaps, every other season. This is why, it is good to save the things that are treasured, and invest in good quality that will last. If one wants to follow trends, it is a smart way to save money instead of buying the same thing over and over again. And if following trends isn´t what you are opting for, just wearing whatever one might like whatever is in style, this certainly is something to do as well. That money will be better spent on some other dream outfit. Lately there has been an 80´s revival, and the 90´s are making more of a comeback.
Here is a good example of how designers recycle old styles, or just copy. These crystal studded boots that Madonna wore in “Desperately Seeking Susan” in 1985 has been copied several times. The first picture shows Jimmy Choo´s Gillian vintage suede ankle boot, from f/w -09, and the second is Christian Louboutin´s Ariella studded boot from f/w -07. I have seen other brands do them as well. That is another thing that I have thought about, the way so many designers are inspired by the same things, the same season. One takes a look at the new collections, and seven different designers are inspired by German peasants from the 1850´s (just an example). Now why is that? And why do some things come back season after season, like it is something new? Why do we fall for this and let them dictate what we ought to dress in? These are just a few of the questions that I have, and want to have answered, but in the meantime I should probably put on a movie and steal some inspiration.
