I personally like to dress more classic now but I DO think that this is a trend (the people I know who buy Khaite and the Row etc still shop a lot! It’s not like they’re just buying one piece a year) and I also think that the whole ‘quiet luxury’ thing gives brands an excuse to entertain an absurd mark up. Oftentimes the cut of a £1,000 pair of trousers is similar to a £200 one and all you’re paying for is status
Really good point re ppl who buy quiet luxury like it is any other trend. Is also how you can distinguish (if you care to) people who genuinely dress like it vs those who are into the trend (nothing wrong w either !)
I tend to go for edgy, post-apolcolyptic, with a touch of glam.....although my niece reads it as "an aging rock star"...I think how we perform gender and social status is very interesting to me, and tends to make it into my artwork....I will never be accused of dressing like the bad guy from an 80's film....where money status was always looked down upon....
There is something to be said for something small that's timeless and valuable, and I think that comes from things being so transient and disposable these days....
I get it. Next week I’m breaking down what makes a fringe jacket good. The next week I’m making a case for the sleeveless black turtleneck as the ultimate but most unlikely summer wardrobe hero of ELEGANCE
