Skate culture and streetwear have been major muses to high fashion brands as of late. From the Louis Vuitton x Supreme collaboration that dropped earlier this year to hoodie/tee/sneaker-heavy collections by mega labels including Vêtments and Off-White, cool styles reminiscent of rad decades past (the 70’s were the golden days of Cali skate culture; the 90’s birthed modern streetwear) constitute a major chunk of what’s currently trendy. The best part? They're effortless to rock. You only need to look to the below shoot to see how a few unexpected styling elements can totally elevate sneakers, crop tops, and high-waisted shorts.
Featuring classic Vans sneakers, butterfly sunglasses, and a largely neutral palette, the shoot, entitled "She's Uh, She's Crazy," is laid-back, minimalistic, and has us dreaming of the dog days of summer all over again. Fishnet socks and 90’s denim give the styling a punky edge, while pastel silks and subtle florals add a softer retro tinge. Set against the backdrop of Rome's Bunker Skatepark, models Ana Li and Vera Kyrlova dazedly mess around on bikes, in shopping carts, and with skateboards. The shoot, which culminates in a gritty fashion film by Askinja Bellone, serves as perfect inspiration for how to amp up your streetwear staples.
