The real skill is in the edit. Anyone can wear everything at once. The best outfits we saw had one idea, pushed as far as it would go, and nothing that fought with it.
None of this is new, of course. Every generation rediscovers the idea that getting dressed can be a performance. The difference is that now the audience is on the other side of a phone.

Scene fashion has always borrowed from wherever it can reach: thrift racks, costume shops, hardware stores and the back of a sibling’s wardrobe. The look right now is louder than ever, and most of it costs less than a concert ticket.
Honestly the best thing I have read on this all year.
Saving this for the next time someone tells me it is just noise.
