Many hip fashion trends from the past year took cues from previous decades, as retro looks became extremely popular. From 80s-inspired beachwear to hippie, 1970s editorials, designers everywhere were looking to recreate styles of the past.
Inspired by the 1970s Grey Gardens movie featuring a bankrupt mother and daughter duo, the Fashion Gone Rogue Grey Garden editorial is a haunting look at the styles worn by these two individuals. Fashion lovers are still using these past decades as a source of inspiration, and for good reason. When updated with a few modern pieces, these outfits remain chic no matter the year.
Our Hip Fashion Trend Report is a more comprehensive overview of the various trends that sparked consumer attention over the past year.
