Of the many designer collections presented as 2022 fashion trends in fashion week last year, subordinate hipster which was popular in the early 2000s dominate.
Term hipster here it does not refer to contemporary young people who have an anti-mainstream sense of style, but to subordinate models (skirts or pants) whose cut starts from the hips (hip).
Hipster bottoms had colored the millennial era fashion trends after a number of celebrities wore them. Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera to Britney Spears, chose hipster skirts and pants as their mainstay when they wanted to exist.

Some of the world’s color specialist companies predict the dominance of bright colors. As reported by WWD, the color reflects a sense of optimism, warmth, growth and enthusiasm after almost two years of living in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WSGN, for example, predicts orchid flower as one of the colors that will be booming this year. Derived from the magenta palette, this color is believed to emit a positive aura. The light nuance becomes a kind of ‘escape’ to calm oneself from the uncertain situation in today’s world.
There is also a fairy version, the Pantone version of the 2022 color trend. This color is part of the periwinkle palette, the result of a combination of calming blue and very energetic red. The result resembles a soft pastel purple.
5. Fashion goes NFT
Sales of artwork in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens or NFTs are increasingly rampant. The big players in the fashion world did not want to be left behind.
Dolce & Gabbana first introduced the NFT fashion collection last October, followed by Belenciaga and Karl Lagerfeld. Nike also recently purchased virtual shoemaker RTFKT to prepare for the metaverse era.
It’s good for us to be prepared in the face of this 2022 fashion trend. Understand well what are the advantages and disadvantages of NFT fashion products and how they affect the existence of our lives for a better future in the midst of the metaverse ecosystem.
