Part of being  a fashion writer is researching fashion and the trends. It’s something that’s an absolute must in order to keep things as accurate as possible. I love the many color stories, style reports, and  other things focusing on Fashion. But I can’t say that I see people actually following them. Usually the public inspires trends, which is why I believe that truly fashionable people don’t follow trends. Everything will come back around eventually. There definitely needs to be  some fresh new talent on the scene though. I feel honestly what the issue is with designers and other artistic individuals is trying to re-invent the wheel. Sometimes you just have to open your eyes and pay attention to whats going on around you. Take for instance this video. The first young man name Dillon is being interviewed; he created a fashion line, and at 16 years old he became a millionaire. His clothing line is cool; it reflects what’s trending in youth culture and fashion. It incorporates casual wear with an urban chic street vibe and popular slang phrases. I’ll let you watch the video to see his collection, but you’ll find that it’s simply him tie dying sweats and adding his logo. So many fashion designers in college have mounds of student loan dept, and struggle to break through in fashion. This young man was still in high school and just went for what he wanted.  I hope this video serves as inspiration to anyone who feels a little discouraged. Once again, just one day go to a cafe, search Instagram, tumbler, or Facebook and find  inspiration from whats really trending in the world around you.

Thank you :)
