    Underground Up and High

    May 2, 2018

    The underground is now up and high.

    Fashion designers are exploring the subversive cultures and seemed to have located the fountain of youth. The hideous croc-inspired platforms or jarringly spiked heels walked with pride on the past Balenciaga runway. The glaringly neon-bright hues are so widely fêted that they aren’t even novel after the past few seasons of capitalization. The fusion designs that combine cross-category pieces into one sought to challenge the conventions on yet another dimension.

    It’s after all what’s beneath a fine and pretty façade that makes high fashion exciting and more relevant. An inspiration source being liberating and authentic as the subversive cultures are, it deserves a good spot next to everything else.

    “A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against,” says Diana Vreeland.

    Controversial aesthetics is good.
