TRENDS What exactly defines a ‘classic’ frame? A lot of us might use the word without really being sure if it’s being used in the right context or for the right product. Milica Jojic helps us understand what’s it about classics that these styles stay timeless I ’ve been hearing lately that “the 90s are back!” History repeats itself. Fashion is one big cycle. We take something we love - a color, a design, a pattern, or a crop – and we run with it until we’re basically sick of it. And “we” are not even the ones deciding on what we like. Just like the famous scene from “The Devil Wears Prada,” where Andy doesn’t recognize the importance of a “blue” sweater, and Miranda is quick to explain its significance, trends are decided for us. We are encouraged to keep up with them, buy the newest pieces, refresh our wardrobe each season and s tay “in style.” Sometimes, when we’re late to the party, we don’t even know we’re keeping up with these trends. Truth be told, I watch these closely and I like having fashionable pieces, but I always go for what aligns with my personal style. I know what I’m comfortable with and I usually don’t experiment too much. This revelation about myself has inspired me to write about classicism – the constants in fashion, the trends that never go out of style.
