Introduction
WhatÕs Old is New
Its a sociological fact that when we enter times of uncertainty, humans tend to
gravitate towards comfort in the familiar. In fashion terms, this plays out with
the reemergence of classic themes, textiles, and silhouettes. For women
specifically, this season is marked by the return of heritage checks, iconic
feminine details, and preppy allusionsÑall tropes rooted in a familiar past.
However, this isnÕt a call to create collections comprised of pure facsimiles.
No, this is about taking those themes, prints, and details and reinterpreting
through a modern lensÑone that looks to subvert old ideas with new contexts
and seeming incongruences. This season, look for ways to pair old ideas with
new. Style futuristic utility tropes along side romantic florals and pussy bows,
or use classic menswear fabrics and shapes to create feminine silhouettes.
The most important thing is to be inspired by the past, but not
to simply recreate it.
