by We have reached peak fashion nostalgia. How did we get here? Well, first there was 2024’s Brat Summer (thanks to Charli XCX), followed by the revival of the legendary Balenciaga City bag. At the same time, fashion lovers worldwide became a second-hand shop searched with the vintage bug such as the realreal, Vestiaire Collective and Fashionphile for Christian Dior J’adior Tea and saddle bags, Gucci-Sung glasses from Tom Ford-era Gucci-Sung glass, Fendi Spy Bags, Six-Jeans and more. Last March, the concept reached new again and reached with fresh iterations from Chloés Paddington bag, the above -mentioned Dior Tea, and the popular skull printing by Alexander McQueen on the landingways in Paris.
Let’s be honest: fashion trends were and will always be cyclical, but the idea of an upswing from cult elements is new-and obviously fertile. It now seems to be more than ever that certain brands use their own archives to bring back sold -out articles from their previous collections. Buyers and vintage fans no longer have to search for willingness and accessories that have once included space in the cupboards of their parents and grandparents. Instead, you can go straight to the source. Chloé, Dior and McQueen are not the only luxury houses that look back on old successes. Louis Vuitton started his unforgettable collaboration with Takashi Murakami (sold out) with Takashi Murakami (sold out in a few hours), and Jacobs discovered another pressure from the past of LV-Stephen Sprouse’s Neon Graffiti.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to decrypt what is vintage and new, and as a result, it is impossible not to think about what could be the effects of this trend on our consumer behavior in the coming seasons. Give the idea of future nostalgia in, not the Dua Lipa album (although it is probably as many listening as the words “John Galliano Dior” were searched at Google Worldwide), but the idea that in a few decades we undoubtedly provided and accessories that are trend today. Which articles from 2024 to 2025 will make your way back to the IT lists of IT Girls? Our money is in the 90s pocket in the series, Connor Ives’s Protect the Dolls T-Shirt and Loewes Make-up Brush Supplements, especially now that Jonathan Anderson officially left the Spanish label. We would also bet that the MIU MIU X New Balance sneakers will be enormous, simply because of their popularity (and constant sold-out status) in retail. Linda Cui Zhang, Associate Fashion Director of Nordstrom, would agree. “There was a great influence of sport on shoes, with desirable Aero -runner -Sneakers from Miu Miu (especially X new balance) to the Dries van Note to Prada,” she says.
The stylist Yashua Simmons has a far -reaching point of view. “Everything from Dries [Van Noten]’S, hedi [Slimane]’S, Jonathan [Anderson]’S, [John] Galliano ,, [Matthieu] Blazy’s and Demna [Gvasalia]”S-ended collections,” he says. “It was a big moment for designer programs with very large corners. People love to say:” This was from his last collection “about a piece of fashion.” The writer and fashion critic Katharine Zarrella would be the opinion of Simmons, especially when it comes to Anderson at Loewe.
Liana Satenstein, writer and newscaster from #neVerverworns, also believes that these are objects that define a certain period of time. “I think everything that sells for a moment or exudes a movement or a culture becomes can be collected,” she says. “I already know a vintage dealer -Pechuga Vintage in La -, who collects the Marc Jacobs Kiki boots, but other pieces that come to my mind come from smaller designers such as SC103 -Link bags, early Telfar bags and Luar -ana bags. These brands are divided into their buyers and fans.”
It is not just Marc Jacob’s Kiki boots that Johnny Valencia from Pechuga is looking for. “The ‘future vintage’ parts I am in mind include Prada Spring/summer 2025 headscarves with the connected lenses, the huge Chanel bead chains from autumn/winter 2025 and the [Maison] Margiela craftsman X [Christian] Louboutin pumps, ”he says.“ You want to collect the ‘curiosities’ or show parts and the objects that marked a turning point for a house that could come from a collection during a transition period or that put the house codes into a historical aspect. ”For Zarrella, the Saint Laurent Herbst/Winter 2024 pinstripe shape would be.
For Alejandro, the talent behind the Buzzy Instagram account @y2kbags, everything is obviously about accessories. “The 2010s make a comeback, so Phoebe Philo Celine bags -the luggage pocket and the trapezoidal bag, especially the bag, become huge,” he says. “So, Riccardo TISCI-A-A-GIVENCHY BAGS, LIKE the Nightingale, Pandora, and Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta Pouch. From 2024 Specifically, I would say alaïa’s Le Teckel Bag, The Row Margaux, and the Louis Vuitton Multicolor Takashi Murakami Collection Are Forever !! ”
The Chief Brand Officer from Realreal, Kristen Naiman, has another point of view. “We believe that Alaïas Le Teckel bag and the Miu Miu Arcadie finally become omnipresent and have the inevitable setback for a resolution in the Fendi baguette style,” she says. “All things that have vintage standing performance, similar to the 70s and 80s of the Vintage ’70s and 80s.
It would not be further to mention the Bottega Veneta from Matthieu Blazy from the Blazy formation, a common callout under Naiman, Zhang and Zarrella. For Naiman and Zhang, the pockets that reinterpreted the blazy will keep their value, in particular the classic silhouettes. “Bottega Veneta’s Erbe Intrecciato technology, which is rendered into the structured, sensible Andiamo bag, is a timeless handbag that you can now buy and wear forever,” says Zhang. Zarrella has the eye on the survey again. “Among the many future vintage pieces that Matthieu developed for Bottega Veneta, his trompe l’oeil plaid shirt and jeans – both actually made of butter -like leather – stands out. “They marked the sparkling wine of the maximum and the return of high -quality, portable luxury clothing, which is naturally interesting.
However you call them, it’s time to invest in these pieces before it is too late. Remember, there are only as many available, and it is even worse that you will undoubtedly become more expensive over time. And with the recently approved tariffs in the USA (we will not depress them with further details about this ongoing situation), luxury goods may not be easier to do soon.
Perhaps we only have to indulge in the sentimental longing for the past, which is driven by every person, the place or the thing that we are lucky. Nostalgia is the name.
