Trend: Today’s Youth

Trend: Today’s Youth

Who are we are and where we want to go. With digital technology, the world is at our fingertips. We want to be entrepreneurs and social experts. We are all photographers, writers and bloggers. More and more of us are learning about each other across the globe and want to travel, eat exotic foods and learn from each other’s cultures. Some of us are even mixing interracially with each other. We are mixing old ideas with new ones and are more conscious of each other and our planet.We document our observations and we aren't afraid to express ourselves. There is a lack of animosity that existed in our youth of the past. But we are still fighting for change and improvements in our world. Not all of us are on board with this yet but as our world keeps changing we will soon be on the same page.

Trend: Conform and Rebel; Push and Pull

Conform and Rebel; Push and Pull 

Just like black and white, todays trends and social practices are opposing one another, but in a cool way! We want to be classy but yet we're rebelling hence the sans pants, rappers in suits, and mixing lady like pieces along with edgy accessories. It's an awesome thing thats happening and its brining along with it some really cool trends Rihanna was spotted wearing classic strap sandals with baggy sweats with edgy accessories. And international celebrities like Kwon Ji Young (South Korea) are instagraming his signature wacky mix of edge and classics of Balenciaga, Boy London and Chanel. Youthful songs filled with lyrics like "Tonight we are young", "Live while we are young", "You only live once", whether a positive message or not is greatly effecting the attitudes towards life and how young adults choose to express their style. Todays youth are reinventing what it means to be a la mode and that there is a time to be classy, a time to rebel and a time to marry the two!
