If I were to choose one style of fashion that I love for it comfortability it will be streetwear. It is one trend that keeps coming back without it getting tired and boring. Most of us really can’t seem to get enough of it. It is so versitile too in how it can be styled. Even though some people may associate it with sneakers and hoodies I am one of those who bear to differ when it comes to this style and this is proved by how many times brands and designers have been influenced by it popularity and used this trend as inspiration on their collections.
Think the likes of Alexander Wang, Rick Owens and Givency.
We can also not deny the role some musicians have played in bringing awareness of this trend. Big brands, labels and designers have noticed and use this to their advantage and even collaborations are born this way. This proves that streetwear is huge and not going anywhere anytime soon.
Young upcoming designers are also seeing this and taking advantage of this trend. As a final year fashion student at University of South Wales I was blessed when I was still at college finishing my HND to be classmate with one of those designer who is taking streetwear to another level and very sure we will cross paths again in the near future. Not only did I get a chance to shoot in one of her pieces but I also have a cuppa with her before leaving England to find out more about Elouise Boyce , the founder and head designer of King Of Sweats aka K.OS
