Stars and Stripes, summer's new trend
Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro
It can be said that last spring what Karl Lagerfeld did for stars and stripes is exactly what his fellow Frenchman Nicolas Ghesquiere did for florals: he made the patriotic motif very, very popular -- sending fast-fashion mills alike into overtime trying to produce budget-friendly pieces that represented the same red, white, and blue theme which was present in every look Karl sent down Chanel's runway.Topshop immediately added tops, leggings, dresses, and accessories to its online store covered in star constellations and horizontal lines. Our favorite piece by the UK retailer was this navy jumper at right. It's trendy and probably one of the chicest Wonder Woman costumes we've ever seen.
The money conscious fashion fan, however, isn't the only person aching to show their love for the popular trend this season. Kate Moss caused quite a bit of a stir when she donned a flowing full-length Chanel gown covered in tiny gold metallic stars for her birthday back in January.
With the 4th of July right around the corner, it's more fitting than ever to play around with the trend. Check out Stylelist for more star and stripe motif looks.
