Joe put some thought into his favorite street style trends, and what he’s most excited to see at MAGIC. Here is a brief Q&A below for your reference:
Joe Zee’s
Top 5 favorite street style trends:
1. The resurrection of the LV bag:
During the September shows, fashion editors and street style veterans seem to
have one thing in common, the newly designed Louis Vuitton bags. The demand for
Nicolas Ghesquiere’s accessories for LV won’t die down anytime soon.
2. Off the Shoulder dresses: Seems like
every fashion influencer has been sporting the look from Evan Chen of Lucky
Magazine to mega-blogger, Aimee Song of Song of Style. It’s a fun way to show a
little skin.
3. Frayed Denim: High-waisted, skinny, and color denim
is what we always see but the frayed look lets anyone do a little DYI fashion.
For inspiration on that look check out Tomasi Hill or J. Crew creative director,
Jenna Lyons.
4. Adidas Stan Smith: These sneakers are so versatile – they
can be worn with a Celine skirt to a vintage pair of jeans. Also a game changer
in both women’s and men’s fashion.
5. Full Runway Looks: While this concept is not new, the
idea of editors wearing full looks straight off the runways is always an eye
pleaser.
What new
brands are you most excited to see at MAGIC?
There’s no
anticipating one particular brand at Magic, but I’m definitely looking forward
to seeing all the new designers from all areas of fashion.
What is
the one trend you can’t wait to see go?
My least
favorite trend of all time Birkenstocks, especially for men! At Yahoo Style,
we’re really excited about the “Flatform.” It gives women that extra height
without sacrificing comfort and mobility.
What are
you most looking forward to at MAGIC?
I’m always
looking forward to seeing young talent. Today’s emerging designers are the voice
of tomorrow, and I always try to support any young designer I believe
in.
