trickle up fashion in the 21st century March 1, 2012
One trend I’ve seen that was on the trickle up in the 90s and has come back today, is the “grunge” or “street” look. This look consists of holes in jeans, cut off shorts, cropped tops, rips and tears in tank tops, etc. Another part of this trend that has become very popular among young men and women, is the tattoos and piercings. In the last few years, more and more teens are getting tattoos as soon as they turn 18. This first started out as something only bikers or convicts would do, but tattoos are becoming more popular and more widely accepted in society, as are multiple piercings other than the ear lobes. Many people in older generations describe this look as “trashy” or “low rent”. But the younger generations and forecasters see it as fashionable and acceptable.
fashion innovators
One of the biggest innovators in the fashion world today is Lady GaGa. Her wild and outrageous outfits have ranged from nothing but caution tape to her infamous “meat dress”. Her hairstyles have also been innovative, as they’ve ranged from a variety of colors, to the infamous platinum “hair” bow.
Many people find Lady GaGa’s style to be shocking and inappropriate. I, however, find it refreshing that she dresses how she wants and doesn’t care what people say or think. I think that she’s made a difference in the way people feel about how they dress and has given people who are self conscious, like me, hope. If she can do the things she does and keep her head held high, then so can everyone else.
I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of GaGa’s wild outfits in the years to come, maybe even with younger generations.
