Streetwear Trends From 2017 & what’s next? (Updated May 2017)
This is probably one of the longest lasting trends in 2017. The trending rose design took its’ original inspiration from neon motel signs and nail salons. It’s cheesy and it’s nostalgic, but it flooded the streetwear market in a matter of weeks. Today you can find them printed all over dad hats, hoodies and most recently, denim jeans.
In a time where the Internet rules all creative content, it seems that the most successful streetwear trends in 2017 are the ones that just re-contextualize something that was already there. We’ve seen the consumer move away from branded logos and start using messages & minimalistic symbols to create an anti-authority culture within the streetwear market. The fact that no one “owns” the rose makes it even more appealing.
If there isn’t enough evidence that the line between streetwear and high fashion is blurred already; Even Gucci adopted the rose emblem and have started using nature embroidery on more of their products.
