Ghetto what?
Send to a friend:
The New York Time’s Ruth La Ferla wrote a fashion story (published yesterday), presumably attempting to analyze what she considers the hippest summer fashion trend — bohemian chic with a modern edge. She acknowledges that the current generation of young women aren’t exactly replicas of their 1960s counterparts (though some obnoxiously pretend to be), but this point seems grazed over in favor of conveying a carefree, we’re-independent-and-confident-but-didn’t-spend-three-hours-getting-ready (no, they spent four). The article’s interviewees described the style as “ghetto hippie, a “flowing, sensual, kind of sexy acid trip” and “Pakistani tailor” (used as a pseudo hyphenated noun, naturally). The trend titles alone should scream caution to savvy shoppers. Long rant short, I’m not a big fan of the idea or the look itself. With that said, if it’s done right, it can be fabulous (like this T-Bags dress), but if it’s wrong, it’s very wrong.

Now there are two words I never thought would be paired together- ghetto + hippie.
