The Alida Buffalo 'Bitchin and Ditchin' lookbook is an enticing glimpse into the rebellious antics of a vintage-loving wild child.

The Australian [vintage fashion boutique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) shows radical and free apparel reminiscent of [rock 'n' roll and hippie revolutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms). Roughed-up denim jackets with rock and heavy metal decorative patches classify this lookbook, and the rest of the clothing line, as a collection that's youthful and full of pizzazz. Red plaid is a dominating pattern for the fall in the Alida Buffalo Bitchin and Ditchin editorial. Old school knee length kilts dawn the pattern like a second skin and a navy overcoat displays the pattern in the shape of a warm fleece interior lining.

This lookbook is an homage to the high school student of the late 80s and early [90s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-breakfast-club) who liked to rock out leaning against the chain-linked fence and talk about the latest tunes.
