Fashion || Fall for Trend: Dior Military Luxe
It seems as if Military-inspired fashion has come standard with every fall season since the style's resurgence in the early-2000s. It's becoming more than just a trend. Today
Military inspiration is congruent to our internal desire to be victorious in such a trivial
political and economic period. We found ourselves asking what will be different, this time?
Military Trend Staples: Herringbone, Epaulets, Gabardine, Double-breasted outerwear, Wool, Brass hardware, Etcetera.
What becomes a variable are the silhouettes, details, and the integration of prints in a look that has consisted of mostly solids in fashion history. Note for Fall 2011: Military looks inspired by non European and Western culture (Ex. World War II; French Revolution; Cold War) would be ideal for future revisits of this trend. Some redundancy is good, while other instances are not. We'd expect more than just the shoes to be different, and don't mind surprises.
