Fashion can be a very exciting industry that is constantly evolving and sometimes it can be really hard to stay on top of all the trends that are doing the rounds. However, there are so many instances, where styles that designers envision look only good on runway models and not us ‘mere mortals’. Because let’s be honest, no body looks as good in real life as do models with all the airbrushing and photoshop on the cover of a magazine. Which is why, high end brands like Zara, Mango, H&M and the like try their level best to translate those runway looks into fast trends. And often times they turn out to be a major fail. Recently, a skirt that Zara brought out (checked mini skirt), threw twitter into a frenzy for it resembled a traditional South Indian Lungi but cost four times the price. People called out the brand for ‘cultural appropriation’.
Similarly there are far too many weird trends in the fashion world that leave people amused, but here are the crème de la crème, or should I say some of the worst that deserve a special mention.
Topshop’s clear jeans
Double jeans (Because one clearly wasn’t enough)
Moschino’s dry clear dress
Balenciaga’s car mat skirt
Pre Destroyed sneakers, and these are placed at a whooping $1425 (Rs 91,403)!
Yeezy clear boots (Imagine what happens when you sweat..)
