Teen Fashion Trends
Teen fashion trends borrow heavily from trends for grown ups, but include one important distinction: teen fashions exist within strictly enforced fashion subcultures. For most teenagers, clothing is short-hand for declaring which clique they belong to. Are you into hip hop or goth? Are you more preppie or more alternative? Are you more likely to play sports or write poetry? Teenagers tend to dress in clothing that announces their affiliations and interests with crystal clarity.
This quality gives their clothing a simplicity you're less likely to find in the adult collections at www.ftv.com and Fashion TV. However, simplicity can be a virtue, as can the teenager's whole-hearted devotion to his current passions. No adult would ever dress as utterly goth or absolutely slacker as a teenager would--a trait which gives clothing for young people an admirable exuberance.
One trend that has recently appealed to teens and adults alike is the goth fashion trend. Designers like Rei Kawakubo have riffed very successfully on this darkly fascinating style. Goth styles have also become quite popular with makeup artists and hair stylists, who are inspired by the trend's kabuki-esque pallors, dramatic eyes, and post-punk hair styles.
