Summer 2016 Latest Fashion Trends

It is not very easy to understand hedi slimane's resort collection 2016 when it separated from the men's collection for spring / summer 2016 considered, with which it was shown together during the mens fashion week in paris. 

Who wants to get a first impression of this scene, just have a look at the many Thrift Stores L.A.s throw where the protagonists of the scene go shopping. This can be in the east of the city in Silver Lake or Echo Park, but also in Venice Beach or Santa Monica, in the side streets of the crowded pier, or better yet, in one of the cities south of LA to San Diego, about Huntington Beach, which also Surf City is named. In these places, the scene come together skate culture, surfing, a little white trash, Sixties feel, a bit punk and the Californian lifestyle to a mixture, which then manifests itself musically in the sound of the music subculture. Those who are not running around here in over long cardigans, printed bomber jackets and denim vests on the road (hence the close of the surf Sounds Garage Rock) finds himself in a probably garages concert again.

All the aesthetic codes of the scene - so basically the repertoire of a typical Southern California Thrift Stores - sat Hedi Slimane in his collection so faithfully to that the difference between the original and the Saint Laurent conversion is only in so far visible, as the cuts at Slimane modern and comfortable, and the materials are very luxurious. For several seasons Hedi Slimane has gone over to present his interim collections Resort and Pre-Fall in each case together with his men collections - and so it is one of the first who has solved the issue of gender-less Fashion Weeks nonchalantly for themselves. The style of the girls of Surf Music scene is a little indie, a little vintage: short lace dress, biker leather jackets, oversized blazers and cardigans, ruffled maxi dresses.

Exactly one year ago it was the psychedelic rock scene who took up Hedi Slimane with his men's collection ( "Psych Rock's New Rising" he called it then). The psychedelic rock and surf music scene are not only to be similar in that they are essential connected to California and especially LA, but also that both music genres had their heyday in the 60s and revived repeatedly since the Noughties (and also musically the genre, especially today, since influences more mixing us more, not too far away). The heroes of the past are Dick Dale, The Bel-Airs and the Del-Tones (of course one could now call the Beach Boys, but that would true Surfsound fans just annoy), today's bands on the scene are about Best Coast, Wavves or Underground bands from LA like Beach Party.

For those who still wonder why so Hedi Slimane is so successful: authenticity is today, in times where everything changes so quickly as never before, become rare. What is rare is desirable, as is the youth that, once it is over, is irretrievable. Hedi Slimane dissected every time anew a youth culture (usually a today that the revival of an earlier is). To the last detail and are so authentic a feeling for life, a life that we would like to lead Listen to the King of the Surf Guitar!
