Micro Trends and the death of individualism 

Written by Bethany Nowakowski 

May 24th 2024

It’s 2020 and everyone’s spending their lockdown days on tiktok, mindlessly scrolling with no hope for it to end, and then came ‘cottagecore’. Shortly followed by ‘old money’, ‘clean girl’, and ‘downtown girl’. All examples of aesthetics and trends that gave people the opportunity to dress outside of the mainstream fashion. 

At first it was a gateway for people to escape the confinements of what the magazines told them to wear, they no longer had to look like Victoria secret models but instead could find comfort in their grunge and emo-like outfits. Or find comfort in the complete opposite, and no one would judge it. However, slowly it became a pressure for people to find an aesthetic and stick to it. I myself had bought a whole new wardrobe in hopes of fitting in with all the ‘cottagecore’ influencers that had taken over my social media, only for all the clothes to arrive and for me to realise it didn’t suit me at all. So instead, I began a search for my own individualism which was actually just me trying to find a place to belong. My individualism equating to buying what was being thrown in my face - the white linen trousers, the faux leather shackets, the low-waisted baggy jeans, all of which currently collect dust in the junk drawer. 

These micro-trends offered me a branch of freedom from having to fit into one aesthetic, but in doing so I spent hundreds on clothing I’ve never worn. It was okay, though, because I bought them all from vinted so it’s ethical. Buying second hand gave me an excuse for the small fortune I lost on clothes I didn’t even like for as long as tiktok did, and all of the carbon emissions from the delivery. It didn’t matter that the brown disc belt that used to be in the charity shop for £3 now cost £40. It was just fashion. 

The aesthetics and trends that were originally designed as inspiration - something for people to look at and figure out what they like and what they don’t - have become a cage for innovation. The focus is on copying the whole design instead of picking it apart and taking what suited you most.

Slowly, over the past couple of years, the ‘innovative’ creators have become the new Victoria Secret models. Everyone is trying to dress like them and creating more of the same. Where individualism used to thrive, it now suffers in the bottom drawer with all the clothes we bought trying to catch up with the micro trends. The trends that followed from aesthetics forcing the wearer to sacrifice personal style in order to look fashionable enough for a follow.

Chic and Computerized: The Future of Digitized Fashion Journalism

In an era where digital innovation permeates every aspect of our lives, fashion journalism is undergoing a significant transformation. As we navigate the intersection of technology and style, the future of digitized fashion journalism promises to revolutionize how we consume and interact with fashion content.

Gone are the days of traditional print magazines as the primary source of fashion trends and critiques. Today, fashion journalism is increasingly digital, with platforms like blogs, social media, and digital magazines reshaping the landscape. These mediums offer immediacy, interactivity, and global reach, allowing fashion enthusiasts to access the latest trends and insights at their fingertips.

The integration of technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to redefine the fashion journalism experience further. Imagine stepping into a virtual front row at a couture show or using AR to try on garments virtually before making a purchase decision. AI-powered algorithms can personalize content recommendations based on individual style preferences and browsing behavior, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.

Moreover, digitized fashion journalism democratizes access to fashion knowledge and trends, making it more inclusive and diverse. Emerging voices from around the globe can now share their perspectives, influencing fashion narratives beyond traditional boundaries.

As we embrace this digital evolution, ethical considerations around sustainability, authenticity, and inclusivity will continue to shape the future of fashion journalism. The challenge lies in balancing technological advancements with journalistic integrity, ensuring that content remains credible, insightful, and resonant with audiences worldwide.

In conclusion, the future of digitized fashion journalism is undeniably chic and computerized, promising a dynamic fusion of creativity, technology, and global connectivity. Embracing these innovations will not only redefine how we engage with fashion but also pave the way for a more immersive, interactive, and inclusive fashion media landscape.

Quarantine has got me light-headed

Being stuck at home with no idea about when (or if!) this situation is ever going to end has shortened my ability to concentrate and nothing seems interesting anymore

What I’m about to say sounds silly and impertinent, but I need to get it out of me regardless: I can’t focus on anything and I suspect being locked in at home in a country where a desease such as Covid-19 is not taken as seriously as it should is turning me into a vegetable. Nothing seems interesting nor exciting, my hobbies seem idiotic and I don’t have a job to rely on during the day which makes everything even worse. 

Being able to enjoy unemployement as an opportunity to rethink my porpuses and focus on my dreams and aspirations might seem like a load of privileged self-entitled crap, but that is how I was vibing until coronovirus came along. Suddenly my plans and goals for the year have vanished, all the hard work and money I put in seem to have evaporated and now I don’t have anything to think about besides the dread of having wasted yet another year of my youth.

I wanted to start writing more - both in English and Portuguese - but lately nothing seems to catch my eye or spark a brief light of excitement inside my gray, dead unmotivated soul. I wanted to start writing pieces of independent work, but as I read whatever I was able to come up with, I felt disgusted and immediately discarded the half-developed text. 

Not even fashion seems to do it for me anymore. I don’t want to read anything about it - not even write about it. At the beggining of these crazy times - like, two or three weeks ago? - I was fascinated about the prospect of exploring the nuances and possibilities of dressing for staying in. Nowadays, I put on the same pair of pants and set of t-shirts and sweaters that have been hanging on my chair. I don’t feel the thrill of getting dressed, of putting on an outfit that I haven’t yet worn. Every piece regarding personal style or the personal relationship between the writer and thei self-image seems to be the same thing thas has been being repeated over and over again. We are all lost and the fashion content available online proves it. 

Youtube videos, vlogs, instagram posts and even tiktoks (!!!) all feel uninteresting and unsurprising as the outcome of every election in the western world. 

I confess that this situation has got me frustrated. I imagined I’ d feel much more inspired and eager to create original, inspiring fashion content online during quarantine. But honestly, all I want to do is curl up on my couch and watch stupid reality shows about home decor and what not.

Ugh, is this ever going to end? I need the feeling of inspiration to blaze up my life a little bit again.
