Daniel P Dykes, Editor in Chief and Chairman of Fashionising.com, Tania Braukämper, the Editor, and Allan James Barger, the Pictorial Editor, discuss the highs and lows of the fashion trends in the last decade in this podcast, and the new ones in the next decade. Their favorite trends began with hot pants to knee high socks, to dresses with high slits, which all became popular in 2009, and will continue to grow in 2010. The main shift in style will be toward the "future warrior and gladiator look," such as leather accessories with studs and spikes, which is a more modern than the inspired ancient Roman and Greek fashion. This fashion craze is going in the opposite direction than the trends from the last decade, where the preppy, "school-girl" look was popular, due to the hit TV series, Gossip Girl. Additionally, the hair trend of braids, shown on the Alexander Wang carpet, is growing to be very desirable. One of the notorious styles was nudity being portrayed on the covers of many magazines, which all three individuals were not favorable of. Tania mentioned the "convergence of the alternative and the mainstream," which has been accessible through the internet. Speaking of the internet, Daniel and Allan talk over the continuation of the production of fashion websites where they sell high end, luxury clothing for 50-70% off. The future of 2010's fashion industry could be changed from the internet. Another aspect of the past decade shows the rise and downfall of celebrity fashion, because many civilians are not interested in the dramatic lives of celebrities anymore; instead, they would prefer models, such as Lara Stone, presenting clothing trends. Overall the changes in trends from the last decade into 2010 is miscellaneous, and fashionising.com's podcast informs the listener on what to watch out for.
