Welcome to my Blog!

This page was started as a way to combine my love for fashion, media, technology, and creativity. I wanted to create a place where I can showcase both my current clothing design ideas, research I have made surrounding fashion and its trends, and analysis regarding my findings.

Since my style is an important part of my identity, I also created this website with the intention of showcasing the outfits and styles I regularly create. My style itself is hard to categorize as the inspiration used to generate it spans multiple decades, subcultures and genres. The main inspirations for the clothes I wear iin my daily life come from Trad Goths of the 80s, Mall Goths of the 90s, Hippies of the 60s and 70s, everyday wear in the 70s, disco outfits of the 70s, early 200s teen wear (for the nostalgia) and the style of a classic 70s/80s rocker.

When it comes to my design inspiration however, I combine styles I like the aesthetic of that one would not automatically assume work well together. For example, I like to mix Georgian dresses, with maximalist designs and punk spikes, leather boots and chain-like accessories. I mainly take inspiration from the arts and the punk movement, and pin-up, new wave and romantic gothic fashion.

I intend to regular update my blog, including insights and ideas I have related to fashion and the culture that surrounds it. Although a lot of coverage on fashion regards the future of it as a way of trend prediction, I find that in order to create something futuristic, you must loko into the past. What were their ideas of futuristic fashion? What were their trend predictions, and how accurate were they? What trends of the past shaped our present, and how will they shape our future?
Most fashion operates on a 20 year trend cycle, but since the rise of social media this is not always the case. Due to the rapid pace of trends, we now have micro-trends, and people are more nostalgic to recent time periods. For example, at the beginning of 2026, many people were claiming that this year would be the 'new 2016', a time when they felt things were easier and more carefree.

Algorithm- based consumption has also changed trends, because you don't see what is trending for everyone, you just see what is popular in the subcultures you're a part of. I also believe this has ruined subcultures to a large extent, because if my feed only consisted of punk people, and I saw somebody wearing that style in the street, it would be very easy for me to assume they are only dressing that way because they saw it online, and not because they align with the values of being a punk. However, I do also believe that social media has made fashion more accessible to people and has given them the ease of experimenting with their styles.
