My style is probably a mix of the 30s, 40s and 70s.

The 30s and 40s are mt favourite silhouette. I have a very hourglass shaped body so the cinched waist works well for me. I also love the creativity of the women from this period. Being the time of the Great Depression and World War II, these women had to great wardrobes out of very litte. because they didn’t have much money and a lot of material went to use in war-related products.

I love the 70s laid back nature and their appreciation for nature, which came through in their clothing. I try to wear natural products and love the earthy tones and beautiful prints of this era. I love fringing and braid detailing. Long skirts have replaced track pants in my closet.

I also love the 20s, but my body shape doesn’t work for the silhouette. I mostly steal accessories from this period. I love the fantastic hats and jewellery.

I think that, when people look back at our decade in fashion, what will most stand out is the emergence of personal style. From Carrie (Sex and the City) to the Olsen twins to stand out artists like Katy Perry and Lady GaGa, the women who have caught our eyes, who we have strived to emulate, have been those with a style all of their own. Eclectism has ruled.

We have also been the decade of fashion borrowers. Most of our trends have simply been modernised trends of the past. We have stolen from every generation since the beginning of the 20th century, not being scared to clash together seemingly opposite trends. Take a 70s jumpsuit, an 80s style bomber jacket and team with 90s pointy stillettos and you are ready to hang with the cool crowd. This is not a bad thing, on the contrary. The Roman Empire made its legacy by borrowing from the civilisations they ruled. We can only hope that our legacy will be a strong as that of Rome.

Of course, we have had some ideas of our own. “Masstige” fashion has made its name with great designers like Stella McCartney and Karrl Lagerfeld bringing their designs into the price range of the average women.

Prestige denim has made its mark designers turning this once humble staple piece into a prestigious statement item, I the last decade we have seen every type of jean imaginable, from skinny to boyfriend, washed out denim to coloured, low rise to high waisted. The

The “It Bag” and “It Shoe” have also found their niche. As long as your had one of these high-end items hanging of your arm or adorning your feet it didn’t matter if the rest of your outfit was from Target.

I think that the last era has been an amazing one for fashion. We have thrown out all the rules and declared One Golden Rule. “There are no rules, as long as you wear it with confidence.” I think that we will see this philosophy carried through the decades to come, and who knows what else we will come up with.
