In my 20’s and 30’s, while working at Prada and in the industry at large, fashion trends played a different role in my life than they do today. The significance of the literal interpretation of trend was overt, and demanded head to toe adherence. As I grow and mature into my (very) late 40’s, I want trends, but also subtlety and an understated sophistication while still being relevant. The balance lies in marrying trend with functionality.
