STALKING THE TRENDY @ BONI HIGH STREET (2 Entries)

Last week, we just had a great time observing people’s get up on a sunny afternoon at Boni High Street. At first, it feels awkward to take pictures of persons. I as a trend observer (student = paparazzi?) for that day was hoping not to be mistaken as a stalker. (All smiles for this! ^_^)

This girl was the first to capture my eyes with her printed dark top/dress, black stockings and high heels. With her stunning height, flawless skin, and hip hairdo, I think she has a sense of style. I think her over all style is at the PEAK of the Trend Cycle Chart since wearing a long top with leggings/stockings is popular these days. Women experiment on the color combinations of their outfit, too. My own assumption to this style's origin was from hollywood celebrities.

At the right is a picture of Hollywood's Jaime Pressly taken in 2007. Most of the trends are based on the Trickle Down Theory where the people adapt to the styles of their favorite celebrity. Once these popular faces launch a new outfit, everyone follows.

This is another girl I have noticed with her cool outfit. She proves that no matter what your body size is, your confidence will carry through your fashion flair. She is beautiful despite her plus size frame. Her outfit is at the PEAK of the Trend Cycle Chart as I have mentioned with the first Stylish Girl. This girl is also wearing a long top and leggings. This is what’s IN these days. I think women would like to experiment on the comfort of garments aside from jeans.

(Right) Jessica Lowndes during the 6th Annual Style Awards in 2009. She's wearing a long top with black sequined leggings.

The ‘Trickle Down Theory’ can be defined: ‘Designers who continually persuade the public with their new ideas. They may seem shocking, but they are in fact everything that a stylish wardrobe requires. Other trendstters are Celebrities. They showcast the latest creations of the designers. In 1957, Bernard Barber depicted a ‘trickle-down’ theory of fashion as a symbol of social class. In 1903, Gabriel Tarde outlined a theory of imitation.
