We Survived Fashion School… Barely, and Maybe High?
Delusion, Deadlines, and Designer Needs.
One-Legged Jeans: Practical or Pure Gimmick?
Denim that’s half pants, half shorts, full chaos. Would you wear them to brunch, or just laugh at them sideways? (New York Post)Ivy: Are we hot? Cold? It’s giving “DIY on adderall" energy, and not in a chic way. I love asymmetry as much as the next art-school dropout, but this feels like an absolute no from me.
Ryan: I swear, it’s that hot-and-cold situation, like when you’re out paddleboarding roasting like a rotisserie chicken under the sun, and then casually dip a leg in the water like, “Ah yes, balance restored.” That’s the vibe here.
Or maybe the moths got tired of their bad rep and said, “What if we made it fashion?” Holes, but make it couture.
Bubble Hem Everything
Skirts, sleeves, shapes, if it’s inflated, it'll pop. Puffy drama that's nostalgic yet modern. Great for flowy drama or accidental miscarried balloon animal references. (Who What Wear, Marie Claire UK)Ivy: On one hand, the bubble hem is like adult toddler? in the best way possible? But on the other hand, sometimes it’s also giving, half deflated? So yes, I might wear one if the vibe is right. But if my outfit starts looking like a popcorn bag mid-expansion, I reserve the right to disappear.
Ryan: Channeling early 2000s prom with a hint of Camp rock energy? Iconic. But like most
trends from that era, it can quickly go from “thats a vibe” to who let this happen? looking a little too worn out and cheap. Either you're hiding something in that poof, or you're desperately trying to hold in a fart at critique just waiting for it to pop.
Fluffed-Up Footwear
You know those cloud-slippers-meet-sneaker hybrids? Super cozy…but are you walking on pillows or hallucinating? (Standard Style)Ivy: Absolutely, No effort or time needed to think about an easy shoe. I am lazy and I don’t care if the shoe is ugly to some people. I will always choose the cooler, easier option for my outfit. I can be so fucking hungover and wearing what I wore yesterday being called an ugly dumb moron and if my shoes are cute and comfy, Idc.
Ryan: Okay im gonna be real, I've never actually tried them on.... because I kinda hate them. They give hospital shoe energy. Omg or worse a Temu sponsored ad. Here's the kicker im in my comfort over everything era. And honestly I can see the vision. I feel like we’re not far from cloud slippers getting bought or sold to high end retailers. Picture this, walking on air soles but really there Louboutins.
Transparent Everything
Trench coats and pants now double as windows to your soul or just your underwear. When revealing becomes so literal it’s absurd. (Standard Style, Marathon Clothes)Ivy: There was a time, back when my boobs were much smaller. When I fully believed sheer tops were cute, dainty and harmless, on myself. A little nipple, Model! Now? Respectfully, I’d like to opt out of the "see-through everything" trend. I don’t want to see your nipples at the grocery store, and I definitely don’t want mine catching a breeze in public unless I specifically chose violence that day. Maturity looks different on everyone, mine just happens to involve layers and fake modest mindset for time and place- okay, Tati?
Ryan: Honestly I dont mind the casual nipple here and there it gives French Vogue meets idgaf to cover up. But then out came the cut out butt cheek jeans and that's where it ends. At that point it looks like your jeans stood up before you did and left with just the waistband and vibes. Sheer looks in the summer? 100%, live your truth. But imagine a crisp 40 degrees your eating some hot soup and someones full witty just out. That's not fashion that's a jump scare!
Chaotic Customisation
Custom charms, layered accessories, and shoes that look like they’ve enlisted for festival duty. Over-the-top but unapologetically expressive. (Vogue Business)Ivy: Look, I love personality, and expression, but lately, some of these bags are giving arts and crafts. Giant charms, carabiners, mini plushies, and an entire Marie Kondo rejection pile dangling from a handle? Don’t get me wrong, a statement charm? Sure. A little flair at a music festival or on a more compact item, or a bag that cost $15, Go off! But NOT everything needs a dangling stuffed creature keychain. I even love a funky shaped bag, a different texture, a statement piece, but it doesn’t need to be and a full-size Polly Pocket house glued to it. But hey, live your sometimes bad taste truth lol
Ryan: Delulu or Labubu? Because a charm or two is cute. Love it. But why are we strapping a full blown monster onto a Birkin like a backpack from hot topic? This trend besides consumerism feels like the Stanley Cup craze but make it Fashion, keys, lip oil, wallet, gum, emotional baggage dangling off your designer bag like a wind chime in crisis. one how? two why??? I get the charms are supposed to tell the world who you are but girl half of that should be inside your bag not clanging a beat with every step. ( okay but i ate this response like)
Make Fashion Weird Again
Mismatched prints, food-patterned pieces (tacotastic handbags?), and the “fond-of-food” trend where your outfit is snackable art. (Marathon Clothes)
Ivy: I’ve always loved fashion that flirts with absurd & random ass ideas. There’s something bold about choosing silhouettes that challenge the more seriousness aspect of fashion. It’s playful, sculptural, and a little unexpected, which to me is the whole point. Fashion doesn’t have to be loud to be clever, but it also doesn’t need to take itself so seriously to be interesting. A little whimsy, well-placed, looks good without trying too hard.
Ryan: Its giving Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali went to grocery shopping and came back with something amazing. and some snacks. I think were breaking out of the classic silhouette and going into out charcuterie board era. One day its banana sock, then its a potato chip bag. I love it! its playful, surreal and little unhinged. Now for mismatched prints that's tricky, your either discovering a new language or you got dressed with no power or light. there's no in between and im hungry for it. Some items are plain genius like a watermelon purse, A taco purse? um yes but if I pull up to brunch and your dressed like a strip of bacon im leaving..with my taco bag.
