Why Are Fashion Craze Addicted To Retro?

Must be in

I do not know from a few years ago, "retro" began to become an indispensable concept around us.

From the small shops, the melodious minor, the classic cars passing through the streets, the nostalgic themes in movies and television, and the one or two old taste pieces on the tide people are spreading.

Single look

As the late New York Times editor Amy M. Spindler once wrote, "no matter who is in the fashion world for more than 5 years, she will feel the repetition of fashion, just like a drowning person recalling scenes of life."

So, does this mean that designers are less creative and fashionable in retrogression? Why are we so addicted to retro?

What can be left behind by history is classics.

Retro is the remembrance of lost time, and the one who loves it will be irrevocably in love with that feeling - in a moment, somewhere, the slow music is coming out of the old gramophone, the iron box on hand is floating on the old men and women in the movie, the women are wearing red lips and the black hat on the top of the men - all of which arouse the infinite feeling of that era and the scene.

I once asked a faithful retro cultural lover why she loved old things so much. Her answer was: "what is left behind by history is classic. Who does not love classics?"

Indeed, when you put on retro costumes, you will have a wonderful feeling that will bring you to that era and complete the scene that once was built in your mind, and you suddenly become the person in that fantasy.

Looking at the current wardrobe wardrobe, you will find that there are more or less hanging styles of clothing left over in the past market -- miniskirts, dresses, trousers and Oxford shoes.

These styles coincide with the spirit of the times, and they are a manifestation of life values and cultural pursuits.

For example, miniskirt is the symbol of women's Liberation in the 60s of last century; the dress was the elegant dress of the middle-class family in the last century 70s; all kinds of trousers and shoes imitating men's wear were the external weapons of women in the last century.

Therefore, retro deduction is not only the richness of the past spiritual world, but also the catharsis of the emptiness of the spiritual world.

Perhaps it is a placebos, which has been given to the modern glory of the impatient and confused people, so that people can build up their confidence and ideals through remembering the achievements of their predecessors.

Search for inspiration in the past to innovate.

"Everything in the past is going to be a new start". This classic old saying represents the current fashion trend.

Look at the T stations in recent seasons. Retro wind is really everywhere.

Whether it's high fashion brands or high street brands, they are sparing no effort in promoting retro fashion, providing consumers with an alternative to being gorgeous and bright.

The latest 2011 spring and summer T is also known as the "popular fashion" in the 70s of the last century. The designers like the past Hippie spirit to salute the feeling of freedom and liberation.

Both the Bohemia style long skirts and the natural legged trousers become the hot style of this season and are popular with the tide people.

In view of this phenomenon, people often sneer at the current fashion world: "when designers are not inspired, they will be retro."

When they have done all the classics, they will lack creativity. "

No matter whether the question is right or not, it is certain that whenever a designer loses his mind and loses his direction, he will go to a certain node in memory to gain power.

Human imagination and creativity are limited. That's why designers often review the past, pick up an old fashion element and give it new vitality.

Design needs to be precipitated by culture, so finding inspiration in past good things may be a rule.

Designers do not completely copy the past styles, but rather evolve and rebuild on the basis of classics, thus creating new ideas.

From John Galiano, a former designer of Dior to Phebe Filo, the current designer of Celine, most famous designers have gained fame from the pformation of classics.

If so, reference to antique costumes is not an expression without originality, but the foundation and source of designer's creation.

In fact, the popularity of retro concept is a very contradictory matter.

Despite the gradual expansion of retro supporters and increasing popularity of retro passion, the essence of its revival is against fashion.

The consumers of early retro costumes wanted to jump off the popular force and become different.

When fashion is becoming more and more popular, retro fashion can provide real personality with distinctive style.

Julia Roberts wore the Valentino's 1982 annual dress at the 2001 Oscar awards ceremony, which is a vanguard pioneer.

Ancient culture without saying anything

Ancient fashions, which are popular from Japan, refer to the classic styles of top brands in the secondary market, which are more popular among young people.

It is not like the antiques in the museum, but the "garbage of a, B treasure", usually from 1920 to 1980.

Old clothes are not second-hand clothes.

The old age is not the same as the concept of second-hand clothes. It is something that really has the age and now does not produce. These clothes, regardless of the fabric used, the tailoring and even the use of details, are the epitome of that era, with certain historical background and story.

For example, there is an ancient cowboy coat, which is very large in size, and has thick wool lining. People who do not understand generally ask who is wearing this big and heavy thing. Actually, the cowboy had to work in the field for a long time, and the weather conditions were bad. So this coat is used to keep out the cold. It belongs to a kind of work clothes.

It is not easy to spread these clothes to today, so they are very rare, so the price is not low.

In fact, there are not many people who know the old, but their consumers can be divided into two categories:

One is a kind of nostalgic old fan. They wear the feeling and culture of the time. They are less people, but they are all crazy fans. They know that good things buy one piece less.

There is also an old and mixed style of wind that has been frying abroad for many years.

The tide people who have extreme requirements for modeling are already not satisfied with the new things that everyone can buy on the market now. They want only their own style, and the rare and unusual style is the best choice.

Old clothes developed

Buying old clothes is not a newly developed pattern of young people in recent years. It has a long history in the west, but it is not complicated to talk about.

From 60 to 70s twentieth Century, some hippies, poor artists and students dressed in old clothes because of their shyness, despising money worship and pursuing personal freedom.

These older generation of indignant young people, by virtue of their talent, unique insights, against the tide, proud of the old clothes, like the challenge of advanced clothing, wearing clothes for a long time has become a fashion, so that the rich young people who have some rebellious factors are also dressed up so that the children of luxury hotels are really in trouble.

Since then, the collection of old clothes worn by others has become a popular fashion.

The 80s of last century was a time of luxury and enjoyment. The trend of old clothes fell into a trough at a time.

By the 90s of last century, the trend of fashion was reversed, and people had rediscovered the lovely old clothes. The old clothes had a big rebound, such as the old friends were happy to meet each other, and their fanaticism continued to grow.

As the trend grew stronger, young people in the Y era began to buy old clothes again.

Soon, the retro trend began to prevail in the world.

However, making the old clothes flourishing and entering the heyday is another group of fashion trends, fashion designers, fashion editors and stars.

In order to capture inspiration, designers frequently appear in flea market and old clothes shop. Strong media hype attracts public attention and enthusiasm for fashion trend.

Some Hollywood actress even wore the second-hand clothing to attend the ceremony such as the Oscar prize giving ceremony. What's more, some famous designers, such as Giorgio Armani's works, have become the nostalgic theme in the museum.

For a time, the collection of old clothes evolved from a cheap fashion to a synonym for luxurious lifestyles.
