While reading the most recent issue of Harper’s Bazaar during one of two times I read magazines (getting a pedicure and traveling…I’m still in Chicago so you can make an educated guess which one I was doing), a bag caught my eye in one of their editorials, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So what do I do when I can’t stop thinking about something? Talk about it on CCF, of course.
Because I tend to injure myself on a daily basis due to sharp jewelry, spiked shoes or other fashion items that could potentially double as a weapon, I thought I’d do a little soul searching to figure out…why do I wear these things when I know a Cynthia Rowley Band-Aid will be in my near future? And I think I figured it out.
I love the topic of trends, especially “it” bags, because trying to figure out exactly where they come from is always so interesting to me. When trends typically came from the runway, “it” bags were made “it” bags because they were worn by a certain celebrity…and now things have moved in a bit of a different direction thanks to the handy dandy Internet. And today, we’re going to talk about it…all of it.
Are cinema-inspired accessories on trend or is a certain designer taking very literal inspiration from another designer? Chi City Fashion investigates (man, I love saying that).
Emoticon jewelry, hashtag t-shirts, Internet slang accessories…it seems like the more social media sites we get, the more social media fashion options we have. After all, wearing an emoji around your neck is the new wearing your heart on your sleeve. #AmIRight?
