]]> A couple of weeks ago fashion’s favourite Hailey Bieber attended the OBB Studios opening party in an all-black Schiaparelli look, but there was a particularly un-Hailey aspect to the outfit. Hailey Bieber is known for her love of minimal and classic style, but the star of her Schiaparelli look was the statement belt that was cinched around her waist. This transgression against her usual minimalist styling highlights the return of yet another 2000s trend, the statement belt.

While the early 2000s loved making a belt the central focus of their outfit (especially a thick high-waisted number) the accessory seemed to fall off our radar for a few years in the mid-late 2010s. The belt was almost forgotten about, treated as a ‘boring’ or practical element of an outfit rather than as an accessory. However, the past few years have seen a resurgence in the use of belts in a variety of different forms. While these trend pieces may not always take the form of a traditional belt, they prove one thing, the statement belt did not die it simply evolved.

Statement Belts

Both Schiaparelli and Louis Vuitton allowed extremely oversized belts take centre stage in their SS23 collections. The statement belts truly channelled the mid-late 2000s wide and high waisted belt. The sparkling gold hardware seemed reminiscent of the ‘bling-bling’ y2k era and combined with the excessive width of the belts to truly make this accessory central to the look. Louis Vuitton even went as far to debut a dress where the entire mid-riff was contained by a belt buckle.

Buckle Print

Louis Vuitton did not only feature statement belts in its SS23 collection, but it also made buckles the statement pattern for its non-belted items. This serves to prove that belts have truly transitions beyond their useful history into the realm one of fashion’s favourite trends, making formally helpful items completely impractical, and we love it.

The Bare-Waist and Belt Combo

Louis Vuitton really knew that belts were the accessory of 2023 and so also made them a key feature in their 2023 Resort collection. Channelling their inner Carrie Bradshaw, the collection featured various looks that had a thin belt placed over a bare waist. This served to show that the belt need not be a particularly out-there design if styled in an alternative fashion. While some despaired over this styling decision, it is a really interesting way to play with the dimensions and proportions of your outfit. And ultimately, all it takes is for Bella Hadid to sport this look (which we think she should) and it’ll be everyone’s favourite new styling trend.

Belt Bags

Want a way to spice-up an age-old accessory? Turn it into a completely different accessory. And that is the story of how Hodakova’s belt bag was born. Hodakova plays with belting across its designs from tops to dresses, but their ever-sold-out buckle bag is their most popular item. The heavily buckled bag has been seen on the arm of Kylie Jenner and just like anything she wears, has been impossible to track down since.

Belt Skirts

Diesel’s AW22 show was filled to the brim with re-imagined denim, but the most popular item from this show was not denim at all. It was their take on the micro-mini that had us all going wild. The thick belt worn as a skirt truly re-invented the belt and helped to place it back on the map whilst adding a twist to the micro-mini trend. However, the belt-skirt is not limited to the deceptive look of wearing a belt as a skirt, Hodakova have also been pioneering the belt skirt with their heavily buckled belt that appears to be made of various belts woven together.

Belt Tops

 Miu Miu played a huge part in the resurgence of the statement belt. In particular its belted mini-skirt co-ord that took to the runway in their SS22 collection. While the look debuted a couple of years ago, it is not going anywhere as Miu Miu continues to evolve this look spanning from formal attire on Elsa Hosk to the utility-inspired bralet worn by Kendall Jenner in their latest campaign. While the belt-top may be a Miu Miu staple, the look has also been adopted by other designers including Hodakova, the designer behind the viral belt bag, and Diesel who have riding the belt trend out since the success of their belt micro-mini skirt.

Double Belting

Another belt trend that Miu Miu loves is the double belting trend, seen on the likes of Bella Hadid the double belt is taking over street-style. From preppy school-girl looks to a baggy dad jean, the double belt adds a point of interest to any outfit.

The fashion industry has undergone a significant digital transformation in recent years. By 2030, digital demand for fashion and luxury could generate an additional $50 billion in sales, according to Morgan Stanley. 

The rise of the metaverse represents challenges but also a massive opportunity. As digital technology evolves, Zara has sought new ways to remain relevant. NFTs and social gaming could offer fashion powerful opportunities for digital development. The metaverse could revolutionise the way people use the internet, interact, work, and even dress.

Courtesey of Zara

Y2K Creatures marks Zara’s third collaboration with the metaverse platform after its first collection with Ader Error and its second ‘Lime Glam’ line.

Many of the pieces have originated from the open-world platform Zepeto. In contrast, other details have been inspired by Zara’s first digital creations, and now some digital creations have evolved into its physical version. 

There are ten pieces in the collection, including a vest, three sweaters, a heart-shaped top, a strapless dress, flared pants with feathers, and two skirts, as well as a variety of different accessories.

As with previous collections, the latest Zara collection will include some digital items that can only be purchased through Zepeto, such as a photo booth, hairstyles, and nail designs. 

In a release, Zara said, “This method of creation emphasises the fact that now, more than ever, the digital and physical universes are interconnected and reinforce each other.”

@zara

Spot the dragon! We present Y2K creatures, a new collection in the metaverse, available on Zepeto. Check the filters at zara.com! #zara#y2kcreatures

Additionally, the brand will launch a Snapchat channel with content that customers are able to access and view the newest products available. This will also feature augmented reality lenses inspired by the new collection.

]]> The Y2K era is back with a well adapted twist on Denim. Nowadays, you can’t step outside without seeing people rocking their shoulder bags, Juicy Couture, baggy trousers, and cropped tees. Even celebrities like Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Rihanna love this fashion comeback. But the late ’90s and mid-2000s fashion trends are primarily known for flared and low-rise jeans and, most importantly, denim on denim looks. Every day we see cool outfits on Instagram with a modern spin on the Y2K era of denim. So if you need inspiration for your next y2k denim outfit, keep reading.

Model Lori Harvey posted stunning pictures from her trip to the Essence Festival, enjoying some of New Orleans’ food. She wore a cropped grey-bluish jeans outfit consisting of a cropped jacket and matching jeans. The photos show her posing in a jewellery shop and walking down toward the camera in her eye-catching outfit. She adds a splash of colour with a magenta headwrap and purple heels, perfectly accessorising the simple yet chic outfit.

There’s a reason behind Diesel being one of the most famous denim brands across Europe. Diesel jeans were the uniform of the early 2000s clubgoers. And now that y2k is the way to dress, everyone is looking at Diesel. They are not disappointing. In their recent Instagram post, they showcase an outfit from their new Fall/Winter collection: an all-denim two-piece. The slim-fit denim trucker jacket with cropped fit is part of the outfit. The jacket is enriched with white fraying at the edges and seams, giving it a special touch. The matching mini skirt gives 100% y2k vibes. A low-rise mini skirt with fraying along the pockets and waistband would have been every 2000s girl’s dream. They styled the denim outfit with black and white strappy heels and a blue mini Morsa A Spalla In Nappa.

Like Leonardo da Vinci said: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. Sometimes simple outfits are way better. Fashionista Devon Lee Carlson knows that. On a night out, she wears blue patchwork jeans with frayed legs. With a white cropped tee, blue jeans jacket with a black print on the back, and an eye-catching neon blue shoulder bag in her hand, she is serving us a y2k look that doesn’t look outdated.

Another breathtaking all-denim look by Jean Paul Gaultier. Fashion icon Sandra Shehab wears a fitted dark denim corset vest accentuating her curves. In contrast, her matching jeans are loosely fitted, giving her a baggy and relaxed look. The denim jacket is just hanging off her shoulders. Accessorized with bright red heels and a gold Jean Paul Gaultier tin bag, the model looks absolutely stunning. We wish we could look so cool in an all-denim look.

What could be more 2000s fashion than a massive belt? In her campaign with Diesel. Model Julia Fox is wearing a light denim mini skirt with belt holes. The famous Diesel Belt Skirt is a modern twist on 2000s fashion, and we are obsessed. In combination, the model wears a denim top with cutouts that also features a belt element that goes around the waist.

The famous Balenciaga Le Cagole, but do it denim! Bella Hadid looks incredible in her Balenciaga promo shoot. The model wears low-rise loose jeans with wide legs covering almost half her black shoes. The rest of the outfit is simple: a black longarm shirt, big earrings and a jeans jacket falling off her shoulder. The photo star is the denim Le Cagole bag that perfectly matches her jeans. Simplicity at its finest. A look that is perfect for everyday and easy to recreate.

Denim at the beach? Something that we haven’t thought of until now for Sports Illustrated, Ciara sports a unique Calechie denim look. The denim shorts are super high-waisted and cut like bikini bottoms, showing more legs than your shortest hot pants. She has them slightly unbuttoned, showing off her trained body. The matching bandeau top is a denim dream come true. To finish the outfit, Ciara is wearing her beachy waves in a loose bun, with some hair strands already coming out. Maybe not the most practical outfit for the beach, but definitely a head-turning one.

Fashion icon Aleali shows us a badass denim outfit with a pop of colour. She wears a frayed oversized denim jacket by Ksenia Schnaider. Her jeans, featuring frays and big patches on the side, are from the Who Decides War collection by Murder Bravado, giving her a baggy and relaxed look. To make her outfit more exciting, Aleali added a pop of orange to her accessories, including Channel sunglasses, 424 walking boots and a bandeau top.

A denim dress in different shades of blue, with eyelets and oversized safety pins, combined with knee-high denim boots. Jorja Smith knows how to make an entrance. The singer wears a strapless denim dress for Marine Serre’s Sping 23 show. She accessorized her bold outfit with big sparkly earrings and a thick denim choker. Her hair is braided and almost reaches the ground, thanks to extensions. She shows that denim-on-denim is a fantastic look that is turning heads.

]]> With garden parties, after-work walks in the park and shopping sprees in town ahead of us, now is the perfect time to update your shoe game. Summer sandals are the ideal addition to your wardrobe for hot days and every occasion. Pair them with slip dresses, jeans shorts or suits – the perfect sandals elevate every cute summer outfit. Don’t know where to start? We will show you the hottest sandals trend you should shop in 2022 – from flats to platforms.

Slides

In 2022 we think we have seen it all. But rubber slippers are the trend right know – another addition to the 90’s trend we all love. From Balenciaga to H&M, wherever you look you can see these funny shoes. Thanks to their cushion material, they are super comfortable and perfect for long shopping sprees or a day on the beach.

Heeled Slides

https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVm6vzhTUT/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=f7f1e63b-f9bb-48bc- befd-81af677e94a7

Do you like the rubber shoe trend but prefer a more feminine look? Then you should check out the viral Gucci Rubber Slides. They remind us of Barbie shoes and give every outfit an instant ’90s vibe. They come in multiple cute colours to match your aesthetic – from Barbie pink to blue to black. The small black heel makes it easy to wear them all day without feeling uncomfortable or getting nasty blisters. Rubber slides are a must in everyone’s summer wardrobe.

Flat Sandals

You can never go wrong with flat sandals. Do you go to a picnic? Wear a white dress with flat sandals. Do you go swimming? Wear your bikini with flat sandals. Perfect for every day, as they are comfortable to walk in all day, you can also dress them up. Elevate every summer outfit without being over the top with your favourite pair of flat sandals.

Kitten Heel Sandals

The tiny kitten heel gives you a sophisticated look without sacrificing being comfortable. They are dressier than your flat sandals but give you more freedom than high heels. And even though we all love dressing up, sometimes we need a comfortable and easy to wear outfit. Kitten heel sandals are perfect for those days as they can even elevate your sloughy loungewear outfit. If you don’t own a pair yet, you should get them immediately. They are a staple!

Platform Sandals

The perfect shoe to our Y2K dreams. Platform sandals give you a hight boost while being the most comfortable shoes in your collection. They are giving Lizzie McGuire and Barbie aesthetic! Those chunky sandals are bold and brave, not something for everyone.

Braided Sandals

Our Instagram feed has been full of braided sandals for a month. The sandals with a new twist are the summer trend 2022, and we can understand why. There are many different styles of braided sandals, but they all fit any summer occasion. Pairing them with a bikini for a beach party or with a chic dress for a wedding – with braided sandals, you can never go wrong.

Chunky Sandals

Bulky sandals have become pretty popular and are an influencer and celeb favourite, even though some might say they look like dad shoes. In the beginning, we put them in the category “ugly shoes”, but we are obsessed now. From Chanel to Gucci, every designer brings out a pair of chunky sandals, and you can’t escape this trend. It can be hard to style them because of their bulky and tough look, but bloggers show us how to do it right. With a simple white dress, a blazer look, or laid-back loungewear, your chunky sandals can give you the spice you were looking for. An eye-catcher you should try for yourself.

Strappy Sandals

Strappy sandals can elevate even your simplest outfit. The thin strappy silhouette and multiple straps that wrap vertically around the foot have been en vogue for a few years now. Lucky for us because we can’t get enough of these shoes. The strappy look reminds us of Greek gods. Summer wedding or garden party – be sure that your strappy sandals add elegance and glamour to your fit.

Mules

Another y2k trend we adore and will fall in love with this summer. Mules can be easily slipped on and off as you leave the house. Perfect for hot weather and styled in diverse ways, mules are the perfect summer shoe and a staple in every wardrobe.

Flatforms

Fisherman platforms are a classic if you want to add edge to your outfit. These sturdy shoes are more practical footwear, making them comfortable and perfect for every summer adventure. Styled with cute socks and a mini skirt, you can’t go wrong.

Block Heel Sandals

The secret to comfortable shoes is block heeled sandals. These shoes save our poor ankles as the thick heel makes it easy to walk all day. These sandals are chic and can be worn with anything: a bridesmaid dress, skirts and even jeans. And the best thing: they are super comfortable! You can stand at a wedding all day, run to get the bus and go to work. Nothing will stop you from looking elegant while going on with your day.

]]> A fashion launch that combines our love for the earth with our love for noughties nostalgia has been long overdue. So, in a bid to make all of our sustainable Y2K-wear dreams come true, Juicy Couture and Ganni just launched the most nostalgic, sequin-splashed collection to date!

The brand’s union was not a collaboration we could have predicted – Ganni is synonymous with stripped-back fashions, meanwhile, Juicy Couture is notorious for all-out glam. But, their differences- as Ganni’s creative director Ditte Reffstrup argues- are what makes the collaboration such a ‘fun and fresh’ drop.

To demonstrate this ‘fun and fresh’ ethos, the Miami meets Copenhagen collection brought garments that see Juicy Couture’s traditional velour tracksuits drenched in the playful logos of each brand. The tracksuits feature in a choice of traditional Y2K hues like tan and electric blue that reminisce the looks of Paris Hilton in the early 2000s. The 13-piece collection also features crystal-clad caps and mesh dresses- perfect for staying chic and sustainable this spring.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Ganni drop if the Denmark- based brand didn’t stay faithful to its earth-loving spirit, equally, it would feel wrong to purchase a Juicy drop if it wasn’t a vision of noughties glitz. So, in a compromise of the two brand’s ethos, their pink slogan tee (featuring a giant Y2K love heart and ‘please recycle’ slogan) epitomises everything both labels stand for, creating the ultimate union between the two iconic brands.

Each piece in the collection is made from organic recycled cotton as a part of Ganni’s responsibility game plan. The plan set out to ensure the brand works toward inclusivity, sustainability, and diversity in everything they do. And, after securing collaborations with influential labels like Ahluwalia and now Juicy Couture, it’s inspiring to see Ganni is encouraging the rest of the fashion industry to take on their ethical memo.

So, say goodbye to the days of relying purely on second-hand outlets for your sustainable Y2K fulfilment, this unlikely collaboration means it is now possible to buy brand new noughties pieces that won’t cost the earth!

]]> If you haven’t heard (or seen) the micro mini skirt is back with a vengeance. Like many of its Y2K counterparts, the teeny tiny mini is currently undergoing a huge fashion revival with its ultra skimpy silhouette being the go-to skirt of choice for all the fashion forwards out there.

The micro mini first came into our periphery in the 1960s with designer, Mary Quant, credited with having helped to invent the design. But it wasn’t until the late 90s and early 00s that the trend picked up steam, becoming the garment of the moment within pop culture. Beloved by A-listers such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, the mini skirt was sported in a range of different iterations including distressed denim, low slung waistlines and ruffled hems.

The party-ready piece is now bursting onto the runways of Miu Miu and Blumarine, with the designers of the moment reimagining the skirt with embellished sequins, schoolgirl pleats and butterfly motifs galore. Just like back in the day, it’s the fashion It-Girls who are taking the trend and running with it, stars like Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa can often be found frolicking about in their shortest short skirts, of course in line with the rest of their vintage-inspired uniform! Generation Z has followed suit, taking note from high fashion labels and experimenting with the trend via social media platforms like Tiktok and Instagram.

As its popularity soars, is it comfort over style for this controversial trend? When it comes to the micro-mini we think otherwise, as its impracticality becomes ever more apparent. Appearing not much lengthier than your average wide waist belt, exposed midriffs and barely-there bottoms are just some of the risqué attributes the micro-mini presents … one gust of wind and all will be revealed, but do you really care? While the above may be true, we, for one, are not too fussed and quite frankly, nothing is going to stop us from jumping on the bandwagon of this style revival.

There is one major difference, though, from the micro-mini we saw two decades ago compared to the one we face as of late. Noughties fashion was notoriously exclusive and represented a real lack of diversity among those who wore it. The sexual connotations that the revealing style triggered only helped to exaggerate this problem. However, these days the power has been given back to the people and we are taking fashion and its meanings into our own hands. A style that once was created purely for the pleasing of a man, has now been recreated with a completely new agenda. The micro mini symbolises female empowerment, celebrating your body and dressing for yourself and that is exactly what we want to see in 2022. Girl power unlocked!

Love it or hate it there is no doubt that the micro mini is back and it’s better than ever. Just in case you needed some more inspiration to get on board with this trend, here are some of our favourite iterations of this style!

Throughout the past two difficult years, many of us have sought comfort in familiar places, whether that be; re-watching old shows, listening to our favourite childhood albums or recreating iconic scenes from Mean Girls. Revisiting the tartan skirts, halter neck crop tops and moon bags ignited a fire in Gen-Z and millennials, to the point where we couldn’t resist bringing these trends back.

Throughout the past two difficult years, many of us have sought comfort in familiar places, whether that be; re-watching old shows, listening to our favourite childhood albums or recreating iconic scenes from Mean Girls. Revisiting the tartan skirts, halter neck crop tops and moon bags ignited a fire in Gen-Z and millennials, to the point where we couldn’t resist bringing these trends back. We have a feeling the Y2K style will be staying with us throughout 2022, therefore, we are here to give you a head’s up on the trends to prepare yourself for. 

Glitter

For a long time glitter has been frowned upon, and not seen as a glamorous or chic element for our makeup looks. Thanks to the rise in Y2K trends, glitter has seen a comeback and has been proven as a staple part of achieving a nostalgic twist to your usual makeup look. 

Glossy Lips

Gone are the days of dry, crusty matte lipsticks. Gloss is the essential lip product that will be keeping us glam throughout 2022. To add an extra Y2K twist to your gloss, make sure to use a dark lip liner and live your Bratz doll fantasy.  

Smokey Eyes 

A smokey eye is a classic for us makeup lovers, and like all things Y2K, drama is essential. With this being said, if you’re looking for a timeless yet on-trend look, the smokey eye is what you need to kickstart 2022 in style. 

Blue Eyeshadow

Blue was a much-loved 2000s eyeshadow shade, favoured by icons such as Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. As it makes a comeback to the red carpet with the likes of Gigi Hadid sporting the shade, we can expect to be wearing something blue in the upcoming months.

Y2K Hair Buns

Anyone out there who likes a low maintenance hairstyle can rejoice with this one, as Y2K hair buns are here to stay. Whether you opt for space buns or a slick back low spikey bun, you can guarantee to be on-trend and looking stylish as ever.

Braids

This year, whenever we have wanted to add a touch of flavour to our hair, we have gone for cute little braids. With the style rocked by celebs such as Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande throughout 2021, you will be on to a winner when wearing braids in 2022.

]]> Opening in a dry, barren landscape, the campaign video from GCDS’ Spring Summer collection is taking us to another world. Premiering during Milan Fashion Week, the eerie red glow across sandy landscape sets the scene for a series of looks perfect for hot summer destinations. Straw sun hats, matching linen sets, 70s floral prints, and bikini cover-ups prove you will certainly be summer-ready wearing GCDS.

From Nathy Peluso’s feature in the campaign, we are taking major inspiration from the chunky highlights and simple glam makeup of the rising Latin artist. Closing a flip phone with dramatically long, bright orange nails in the video, the model wears a block-coloured bikini coverup, splitting to reveal knee-length light, blue denim shorts. The shorts have been roughly cut to produce frayed edges, contrasting the elegant accents of dripping jewels. The light denim, slip-on mule heels and flowing cape-like top brings together lavish Y2K sparkles with the loud gold accessories and flowing fabrics of the 1970s. 

The show opens, like the campaign video, with classic, recognizable beachwear. Various shades of blue, patterns of waves, and flying birds are incorporated into the early outfits. Knitwear accessories have fun patterns of seaside scenes which emphasize beach holiday themes. Textured fabrics also make early appearances alongside beach looks. A rough, towel-like fabric is used to create an asymmetrical mini dress, paired with various woven bag accessories.

Slowly the simplistic beachwear turns into bold eveningwear, influenced by 1970s disco. A matching men’s suit with a black shirt printed with gold chains is paired with platform sandals and oversized sunglasses for a disco-ready look. This look revamps the signature Italian suits associated with Milan Fashion Week into a lighthearted, statement piece made for the dance floor. The matching women’s look consisted of a glittering halter-top and wide-leg trousers with GCDS monogrammed earrings and a round tortoise-shell handbag, looking equally disco-ready.

Continuing the journey through fashionable periods, a series of light blue denim looks appear with 1990s references and Y2K crystal detailing. The blinged-out circular bikini top monogrammed with GCDS instantly recalls the iconic teeny tiny Chanel bikini from Spring 1996. The low-waisted baggy jeans also recall 1990s aesthetics from American streetwear. Moving onto sweetheart necklines and an asymmetrical denim mini dress, the light-washed denim looks transition from the 1990s into crystallised early 2000s with sweet choker necklaces and chunky platform heels.

GCDS takes us on a time-traveling journey through fashionable decades for their Spring/Summer 2022 collection. From natural summer beachwear to 1970s disco, Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel, the sparkling 2000s, and finally, consideration of what future fashion will look like. GCDS showcases the cyclical nature of the trend cycle, whilst providing chic and timeless pieces that have continued to trend since they were originally established in fashion.
