DISTRESSED DENIM
Some people consider denim to be outdated, and Glenn Martens is here to prove them wrong with his A/W 22 collection for Diesel. The revival of Diesel’s elevated, futuristic country aesthetic has intrigued people to get back into denim, which was left behind during the pandemic when sweatpants were the only trendy clothing piece. Along with Diesel, Balenciaga and Euphoria’s superstar Alexa Demi has convinced everyone how cool denim can be if you purchase the right items. Here’s our top eclectic picks for those who find denim boring.
RACING JACKET
Even though the trend has been surfacing for a few years it has got a lot of attention recently, thanks to Spanish singer Rosalía and her album ‘Motomami’ which was released in March 28th this year. Most of Rosalía’s performances featured looks heavily inspired by racing ensembles which motivated a lot of her fans to recreate similar looks. Lately, Christine Quinn, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have also been spotted in racing outfits. Jenner was spotted in a ’90s Thierry Mugler jacket with Travis Scott who wore a matching racing jacket. The statement pieces elevate any basic look; here are our top picks.
