If there’s any type of trend I love, it’s a micro trend. They’re the perfect way to keep current without looking like you have no personal style and you only wear what’s “now” (cue #trendsontrendsontrends). So the latest sub-trend, if you will, to hit the runways? It’s time to up the contrast…
In the words of Beyonce, “…surfboard, surfboard, surfboard” (pronounced surfbort, of course). Let’s talk about fashion surfboards, shall we?
Typically when a trend makes a comeback, there’s usually quite a significant amount of time in-between its spikes in popularity. For example, overalls and chokers were popular about 20 years ago, and now us bloggers can’t get enough of them (once gain). But there’s one bag style that was a big hit around 2010 and is already making its way back into stores and now, our closets.
After ironically raving about how French girls do it better just days before the biggest American holiday of the year, I thought I’d give the US of A some love today and share with you some of my favorite US-based designers…who actually all happen part of the CFDA — The Council of Fashion Designers of AMERICA (or as I like to say ‘Merica but pronounced mer-kuh).
Are you caught up on the winners (both on and off the red carpet) at last night’s CFDA Awards? Good. Because we have a lot more to discuss. You ready?
