I was going to do a whole YouTube video on this, but I feel like it’d, just be really repetitive., So I’ve just been thinking how literally nothing is trending right now, because everything is trending in the fashion world.
. I think we’re just going through trends, so freakishly fast that in the past five years every single thing has been trending.. I was going to do a whole YouTube. Video on this., Don’t worry Laini, I will.
. Probably one of the biggest reasons I love fashion is the anthropology that comes along with being a consumer of the art form anthropology or the study of human societies and cultures and how they interact within various cultural subcategories.
, Not the store., Sorry ladies. In fashion. There seems to be a distinct paradox taking place in and around this idea of fashion trends.. I have wanted to talk about this for such a long time.. There’S two huge problems.
You’re, probably participating in. If you’re interested in fashion elitism, that is present in fashion, should be kept up to some degree. Right now. These shoes are about to be. Everywhere and graveyard all the biggest cringiest, almost overplayed dying.
Ties.. This is a trend that I think that I’m going to say that I hate. Today’s video is sponsored by a luxury streetwear brand Represent.. They sent over a ton of great new items, so I thought it would be fun to do a little pickups video for the ad read.
. I’Ve been a big fan of Represent for quite some time now and starting off. They sent over two pairs of sneakers. On the left. We have a pair of represent Reptor Lowsin, this beautiful coffee, wheat, colorway.
And on the right we have the Apex’s and an all white stone colorway.. This is what they look like on feet and I’ve always been a huge fan of these models, in particular the rep, their lows from represent.
. Next we have this beautiful wool, knit sweater also in the week colorway.. This will just be perfect for the fall.. If you don’t know represent, tends to go all out when it comes to their graphics. In this racing, team.
Eagle T is no exception., And last but not least, we have this new era. Initial cap, which is a perfect accessory to bring together an outfit to shop. These items and more. There’ll be a link down in the description.
. Thank you for the support on the channel. Okay.. So where was I From my vantage point? There are three distinct ways to look at the modern fashion trends: cycle., The good, the bad and the ugly truth.
. Let’S begin with the bad. The world we live in today, moves fast., I mean really fast. One day. Everyone seems to care about Nfts and the metaverse. And the next day the focus shifts to authentic social media experiences like BeReal and Vero.
. And if I just mentioned four things that you have no idea about., It’s okay.. It’S just more evidence that the world is moving. Really fast and that you are maybe being left behind., But this fast paced nature of culture is in direct correlation with the fashion.
Industry. Fashion moves so fast in today’s age., From micro trends to micro micro trends. There seems to be a new esthetic and a new moodboard birthed every single day.. But why is this? Why? Why why Why? Why not, in fashion specifically A lot of people point to TikTok as being the prime culprit for this extreme speed, Arcanine use Extreme speed, And for me, if I were to just tell you, I think it’s Tik Tok as well in the video that would be kind Of anti-climatic and boring.
, I do think TikTok does play a major role into this ultra fast movement of trend cycles from week to week, month to month and sometimes day to day.. But allow me to introduce a new idea to the meta that I’ve been thinking about.
For the last couple of days., I think the reason why fashion moves so fast is because in 2022 there are literally ten times the amount of quote unquote personalities than there was in 1970.. Let me explain.
In the US. For example, in 1970 there were 203 million people. Today in the US, there are approximately 330 million people or a 40 % increase from 50 years ago.. Why does that matter? Why? It matters because that means there are over a hundred million more perspectives now than there were back in 1970.
And with those perspectives, bring individual ideas, characteristics and personalities. And, in my opinion, the more people, the more opinions you add to the equation of culture and style Within fashion the more variability there is and therefore the more distinctions there are in the fashion world from hip hop culture to K-Pop culture and everything in between and on the outskirts.
. There is so much to choose from in the year 2022 and as a result, so many variations of trends are taking place among these various subcultures and subgroups.. Now what is the bad? Because I view that as being something that’s quite awesome and beautiful.
In my opinion., The bad of this very fast trend cycle is the overproduction of clothing.. The more clothes that are produced subsequently means more. Waste also is produced harming the environment in our ecosystems, which is awful, and it seems like with the world we’re living in right now with so many different variations of trends.
Week to week month to month, there will only be an increase in clothing production, as opposed to a decrease in clothing production.. Now for the good., I think from the ideological standpoint of unique individualism.
The variety of fashion trends means that, ideally, we can all dress and develop our own unique personal styles ideally., And I think that’s really cool.. When you look back on 19th and 20th centuries societies, most people who quote unquote, dress well within those societies, are the ultra rich and ultra wealthy.
. But when you fast forward to today’s age, while a lot of the best dressed individuals are still wealthy, we all can participate in fashion in our own way, which I think is really beautiful., Whether you wear Dickies 874s or Homme Plisse Issey, Miyake trousers.
You can feel good about your decision. One last point for the good is the introduction to fashion.. I was introduced to fashion in the era of hype. Supreme Box Logos, Villain, Controversies., Virgil, Abloh.
, Kanye, West, Jerry, Lorenzo, etc., etc., etc., And maybe you were introduced to fashion in this way, too.. Well, I hate to break it to you, but these were all trends.. So the point I’m trying to get out about the good of fashion trends is that they’re kind of similar to the smell of cinnamon rolls on a cold wet rainy day.
. They draw you in they’re alluring. And whether or not you decide to eat that particular cinnamon roll on that day or decide to eat it every day for the rest of your life. That’S what trends are.! They make you curious about that smell! That thing that you can’t explain that makes you interested in something Take a moment.
Comment down below what you think. The ugly truth is about the modern fashion trend cycle.. I will compare my perspective and your perspective at the conclusion of this video.. In my opinion, the ugly truth of fashion trends in the fashion industry is that a lot of times these brands attempt to sell you on the idea that either your style or the products you have aren’t enough.
The fashion industry, like the tech industry or the car Industry are industries that are constantly quote unquote improving year over year.. It means that they try to sell you on the idea that what we did in 2017 is subjectively worse than what we’re doing in 2021 and on and on and on.
. When will enough be enough? And do I really need another pair of shoes, jackets, shirts, hoodies, hats, pants, The fashion industry always says Yes, you do and they’ll always try to convince you that you need and should want to acquire more.
. Let’S take it a step further.. If you consider yourself to be a fashion nymph or a Jonze enthusiast or someone who’s, just a fan of fashion, two names that I’ve called myself in the past, it’s kind of akin to being a dog that gets into its own bag of food.
The dog once It gets into the bag of bones or whatever it is. It never stops. Eating. Okay Drew. What is this analogy, Let’s bring it home here.. My point is: is that with fashion and the dog that gets into its own food they’ll, never stop.
? If you’re a Jonze enthusiast, if you’re a fashion, nymph you’ll continue to consume it. Real question, How many johns can you enthusiasts And if your clothing is only for self aggrandizing purposes, That’s the ugly truth of fashion and fashion trends.
? Now I don’t want to pretend, like I’m on some kind of moral high ground when making this video.. These are all just ideas. And if it kind of struck you the wrong way, I want to apologize.. I don’t want to come at.
. This video in this channel is about spreading new ideas and having conversations in and around fashion.. If you know me, I’m a positive guy., I’m a pretty positive emitting guy. And I don’t want to bring your day down or try to say anything.
That’S out of pocket.. So, as always, I’m spreading peace, love and positivity. In 2022., So that means of spreading peace, love and positivity to you, wherever you are in the world., Have a wonderful rest of your day.
, a bientot peace. Yo. What is good Post Vivid.? Hopefully, you guys are having a good day to day.. No, we get down fist bump for a one time. Bob. I appreciate you so much.. You know we get down to three times.
. Let’S go bop bop. Appreciate you guys so much for stands at the end of the video.. This one was a fun one to script out and just make., But if I am going to be honest, I do think I botched the delivery, especially at the end.
, And I have a long way to go as someone who wants to be taken seriously as a Video creator and a fashion commentator here on the Internet on the Internet., See I can’t even tell. When I was scripting this I was getting so excited.
The delivery. I was kind of boggy., Sometimes when I make these videos like it, takes a little bit of extra.. Like I don’t know like, sometimes I’m not in the talkative mood so like I make a lot of mistakes, but hopefully you didn’t notice too many.
. The question for the Post Vivid today is what is your favorite animated movie like Disney Pixar? Whatever I have here, I have. Shrek was one of my favorites as a kid. Love Shrek, the Ogre.. I have Toy Story classic.
. If you ever watched Toy Story, I know someone probably has and watched Toy Story.. The movie is amazing. Inside Out is more of like a recent one by Pixar., I believe so. Good. And then one that I just as a kid like as a Colorado.
Kid like, I watched this movie called Spirit. It’s about horses. And, like it reminded me of like my home, the Rocky Mountains. So come on down below your favorite animated movies. I’ll, see you guys in the next video piece.
