Some think that the fusion of streetwear and high fashion reflects the inclusiveness of fashion.

But some others believe that it will destroy the ingenuity and creativity of high fashion.

"Whether fashion is a cultural form" was a hot topic in 2018. People didn’t get agree with each other, but it is certain that people’s attention to fashion reached a new high. Even in China, fashion became a frequent talk at leisure.

Key Word: Retro Style

You could find something wearable in your grandma’s wardrobe.

Vintage is perennial in the fashion world. Retro styles often make comeback.

It is actually an ambiguous concept. We take reference of the styles of past decades. Sometimes, items of previous seasons are also regarded as vintage looks.

Vintage is all the rage nowadays. Vintage fashion withstands the tests of time.

The nostalgic trend was reinterpreted in 2018. Iconic elements of previous decades revive.

For example, grandma cardigans were rejuvenated after the success of grandma shoes and paperbag pants.

The prevalent leopard prints also take inspiration from the design in the last century. Norman Norell first applied them to garments and gained popularity in 1940s.

In addition to these retro elements, the revamp of iconic items also grabs attention.

Several brands revamp classics to get a commercial hit.

The saddle bag of Dior created in S/S 2000 becomes an It bag after many years.

The red tapes of F/W 2018 collection at Dior was a hit in 1990s.

In line with the logo trend, the double F design of Fendi is still covetable even though many people boycott fur items.

The resurgence of old items or elements deliver a vintage style to the fashion world. Nostalgic design itself is of no surprise – the recreations are based on classic product, and none of them are brand new.

On the other hand, the time-tested fashion aesthetics will continue to prevail.

After all, these retro pieces are not a complete copy of the old items, but are given a modern update to reinterpret the classics.
