Grunge rock is making a comeback. From classic 90s bands like Nirvana, top designers like Versace and Saint Laurent are adopting plaid shirts, ripped jeans, combat boots and snapback hats. The colors of the season are red, purple and bright color pieces to make a statement.  

 

Instagram, Lookbook and bloggers are very influential to young people. They wear what the celebrities are wearing. Their looks and street fashion come from the trends around the world. Brands like Zara, Topshop, and Forever 21 set the trends here because they tap into these international trends.

 

Young people are embracing ready-to-wear styles from global high street fashion brands, pushing Thai brands to stay competitive. Young people are open to a lot of new things. Trends evolve from our environment, movies, art and so on. Global events can have a big impact on trends; after 9/11, for example, people wore a lot of dark colors. Ready-to-wear allows you to mix and match pieces from previous or present collections.

 

Young Thai people get a lot of inspiration from local and international magazines like Cheeze and Nylon. Bloggers are also very influential. The internet delivers new styles really fast. Compared to the street fashion of my generation, where everybody wore Thai designer brands, the trend is shifting towards the high-street as a result of global trends.
