I know that it is almost rounding the beginning of February but I just had to post my favorite fashion trends of the 2000s…So enjoy! and tell me yours!
The re-emergence of ‘grunge” style
Well, come on this is the fashiongrunge blog! The first time that I realized that this would hit the runways again was the Marc Jacobs F/W 2006 show. When I knew it would hit the streets was when Mary Kate Olsen emerged from child star to fashion icon. Now a few seasons later the plaid, combat boots and ripped tights are still kicking.

Minimalism + Luxury Basics
In the 2000s I think the importance of having basics in your wardrobe really took off. Many designers were drawn to the fact that people just craved a great “white t-shirt”. Alexander Wang was born under this movement. The Row, the Olsen’s first fashion line was created for the desire for the perfect t-shirt.

Alexander Wang noticed such a demand for basics that he created his diffusion line, T by Alexander Wang for Spring 2009

Harem Pants
While many people are a little hesitant about this trend, I happen to still love it. I bought a pair about 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back. Here are some looks that are still happening for Spring 2010.
Rag & Bone
Blazers!
I for one am still wearing my blazer that I bought from a thrift store for $3.00! I have never gotten so much use out of one piece in my wardrobe ever in my life. I first saw this look on the ever so famous Balenciaga Fall 2007 runway show when “preppy” style was coming into the mainstream. Again, the Olsens were seen wearing small fitted navy blazers on the street which then cemented that this trend wasn’t going anywhere and it still hasn’t.

Doc Marten Revival!
Well, we all know that I have a love affair with Doc Martens. Refer to my previous post here: http://fashiongrunge.com/2008/12/15/the-doctor-is-in/
