For 2009, there are many different trends. However the one underlying theme this year seems to be individuality. This is almost a contradiction of the word trends. I suppose we could say that the trends are there are no trends. Of course there are some themes that have emerged in the designer collections but these will act more as an inspiration to people when building their own unique look, than a prescriptive list of what should be worn and how.
The latest trend for 2009 of looking different and unique is a result of the economic situation, a greater confidence in trying and new looks and inspiration gained from the many fashion and street style blogs now published on the internet.
People are looking to create a look by combining high street, designer and vintage pieces as well as unique clothing and accessories that they have sourced from independent designers and labels. Unique and individual style has put the fun back into fashion. People have found they don’t need to spend lots of money to wear a lovely outfit that looks amazing. They can have fun experimenting and trying out different combinations of clothes to find a look that really suits them and reflects their personality.
The eclectic look that combines unexpected pieces and contrasts colours, textures, styles and proportions is huge. That is not to say that there are no longer any trends. There will always be some trends each season and there will always be many people who do not want to stand out from the crowd. But there is a growing number of people who love experimenting with different looks and love the creative process of putting together their own outfits and finding different pieces to wear.
