As the years go by we see certain things come into style,
and then suddenly disappear, only to be remembered with a fond sort of horror
and nostalgia. Like fanny packs. Convenient for carrying snacks and such, but
complete fashion suicide.
I’ve never been one to follow trends, as it’s almost
impossible to find things that are in vogue at the thrift store (even with my
shopping karma), yet I often find things that are clearly from ages gone by but
are once again fabulous. Or maybe I just think they’re fabulous because I’m living
in the past.
Like this retro jacket from Givenchy. I’m not sure exactly
which collection it’s from, but I have the feeling that it’s from the Alexander
McQueen-era, since the tailoring is impeccable and the silhouette is
exaggerated. Either way it’s absolutely fabulous, and I can’t wait til the
weather cools down so that I have more of an excuse to wear it. Afterall, one must not sweat through couture…
