TREND MOVEMENT
-The “black leather legging” trend began in fall of 2020.
-As the season progressed, we began to see black leather in many different pant styles.
-Black leather pants are going to replace the black leather jackets in our closets.
-Throughout the season, we have seen black leather leggings go from an “edgy/rock” look to more of a timeless, chic, classic look.
EVOLUTION OF THE PLATFORM SANDAL
Step 2: Track a Look from Visionary to Obsolescence
Introduction: The first modern platform sandal was introduced in 1938, created by Salvatore Ferragamo. It was called the rainbow sandal after Judy Garland in honor of her song “Over the Rainbow” in Wizard of Oz.
Rise: The 1970s was the rage for platform sandals. Musicians and teens of the 70s loved incorporating these into their outfits and styles.
Culmination: In the 2010s the ‘flatform’ was all around in the fashion world. Flatforms were made for comfort and style all in one.
Decline: Platform sandals are beginning to be seen less during our current time period and will soon be out of style.
