Many may consider minimalist fashion as ‘dull’ or ‘boring’, but these luxury-driven fashion brands are showing neutrals and simplicity can be just as fun, by innovating in construction. A minimalist approach to fashion is transcending generations and cultures, and these brands are leading the pack.
3. 1970’s Classic : The Jumpsuit
I chose the ‘jumpsuit’ to be my 1970’s classic piece. The
jumpsuit really boomed during this “hippie” decade and it seemed as if
that was what the majority of men and women were both wearing. I
consider it a classic piece because the jumpsuit was a great base piece to
function in any type of fashion collection. Jumpsuit pieces were seen in
business, dressy, casual, and party style collections. Today in 2015,
jumpsuits are still being incorporated in many collections during the
Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter seasons. While being presented in the
modern day fashion industry, this shows that the jumpsuit has made its
own spot in fashion history and still makes strides in continuing fashion
decades. This is also another reason why I consider the jumpsuit a
classic piece - it never died out.
5. 1980’s Fashion Fad : Hypercolor Shirts
The 1980’s Fashion Fad I chose are the ‘Hypercolor Shirts’. Hypercolor shirts
are T-shirts that can change colors when pressed or perspirated against in different
temperatures. They would change one color when hot and would change another
different color when cold.
Generra - a Seattle-based sportswear company - created the hypercolor shirts and
in a short 3 month span sold $50 million worth of product of hypercolor wear.
Unfortunately, Generra’s overnight success was short lived. Mismanagement and
overproduction caused them to file bankruptcy and hypercolor clothing died out. Other
companies tampered with hypercolor in their clothing lines a few years after Generra’s
bankruptcy, but none ever made a comeback with the hypercolor effect.
I thought it was interesting to find a fad that died out simply because the company
overproduced a product and drove themselves into bankruptcy.

I chose “Givenchy” as my ‘high fashion’ designer. Givenchy is a French
haute couture designer that creates high quality, extremely detailed
clothing, dresses, accessories, perfumes, and cosmetics. His fashion pieces
and customware have been gracing the bodies of celebrities and runway
models since the 1950’s. You have probably seen “Givenchy” pieces such as
recording artist Beyonce’s “naked” crystallized, see-through dress for the
2015 Met Gala Ball. Other popular celebrities such as recording artist, Ciara,
and rapper Nicki Minaj have notoriously worn Givenchy custom- made
pieces for their performances and special events such as New York Fashion
Week.

9. Business Casual Style : Ashley Stewart
I chose the plus size line brand “Ashley Stewart” because they
specifically make pieces and categorize them in a group called “The Work
It Collection” - a.k.a. business casual style.
Ashley Stewart has always done a fantastic job at collaborating
classy, sharp, bold, feminine, and up-to-date fashion pieces, and then
contoured them to fit the curvier, plus size woman. The “Work it
Collection” is a great balance of professionalism and feminism. The line
also features man bold colors and beautiful silhouettes. A woman of
business meets a fashionista and births the “Work it Collection”. Another
great plus of Ashley Stewarts entire line is that all of the pieces are very
affordable.
