Flashback Fashion (Spring 2018 RTW)

So, thru out Spring 2018 RTW fashion month, we have seen many trends come down the runway to name a few: designer denim, mixed prints, sequin embellishments, fanny packs, and bright colors.

However, there is one trend that made me flashback to my childhood, from Disney characters and cartoons to My Little Pony (at Moschino).

Minnie Mouse first ever NYFW!

On the flip side, these childhood characters allow viewers to take the focus off of whats going on in this world right (from politics to natural disasters) now.

High end fashion designers collaborating with classic characters (like the one's listed below) has been going on for a few years now, but for Spring 2018 designers brought those characters to the runway.

Let me jog your memory:
- Christopher Kane x Beauty and the Beast - check it out here
- Kenzo x Disney (the Jungle Book) - check it out here

Now lets take a look!

Collab: Fear of God x Vans :: Styled 2 Different Ways!

It seems as if many brands are now collaborating an forming this "hype" (hypebeast) or a group of street stylers. The biggest one this year was definitely the Louis Vuitton x Supreme. Some others were; obviously, Fear of God x Vans, Off White x Nike, Guess x A$AP Rocky, Alexander Wang x Adidas. Trying to cop these exclusive collaboration require either waiting in lines that are miles long, paying resale (which could be 200% up sell) or having a "plug".  Drive down Fairfax and there is ALWAYS a line at the Supreme store, BAPE is going up on Melrose and I'm sure the line will look quite similar. The limited edition and hard to get your hands on items, make it that much more exclusive. I know some of you are thinking "why hasn't she mentioned YEEZY's?" as I believe Kanye's Yeezy's made way for these collabs- but don't worry, I'll get to that in another post.

I was able to get my hands on the Fear of God x Vans shoes, which I love, and am very excited for the second Fear of God x Van's that is coming out in December (as Jerry Lorenzo - the designer of Fear of God) has confirmed and even has put some teaser pics on the brands instagram. I am a size 6 in women's shoes, and much like the Yeezy's they only come in mens sizes, so I am a mens size 5 - which makes it even harder.

Anyway, I have styled them 2 diff ways. One for a casual day at work or chill vibe for the weekend. The second is inspired by Kylie Jenner, that she wore out to a club in Miami.  You will see that I also have a Goyard Bag- which I have had for 3 years, but now EVERYONE has it, and is now part of the street style hype look. They even just opened a store on Rodeo, which is by appointment only!

Also, when buying these collaborations, you must be very careful, as even on EBAY there are a lot of fakes out there! And yes, even if they show the receipt - trust me it has happened to me.

I use the GOAT app, they verify before sending, check them out here.
