01 Minimalism
“Sprung out of scandinavian,holding the essence of simplicity"
Minimalism, originally as a genre of modern art, emerged and became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, which like using color as less as possible and being yourself rather than being distracticed by other things. Later they reflect on the architecture design and Factoric \ cloth \ indoor design, etc.
The Nordic minalism has their own characteristic, such as, black and white mostly \ high quality \ uncluttered.
“Minimalism is not the lack of something, it's the perfect amount of something”
In the era of material and information explosion, the minimalist lifestyle has become an oasis of the spiritual world, attracting people eager to return to their original nature. The fast pace, high frequency, full load of modern society, the excessive absorption of resources, spiritual life is being pumped out, and many people feel confused and suffocated.
The minimalist life is not so much a fashion trend as it is that people are free from the complicated and complex pursuit of simplicity and nature under the domination of "complementary consciousness". In order to achieve a kind of relief, it is also a more humane, economical and pleasant way of life. Minimalists also form their own social circle, sharing the "rules of life", such as garbage sorting or happiness doesn't depend on material things.
02 Streetwear
"Born in American ghetto, expressing anger and rebellion"
We can straightly tell the concept of Streetwear, which is the culture on the street. People widely concern that streetdancing \ DJ \ MC \ streetpainting, etc. They got their own specific style, but they got their samiliarity as well. Such as oversize, relaxing, hip-pop, street dancing. The color exaggerates to capture the eyeball.
“90s were a truly magical time, absorbing the punk and rock spirit of the 1970s and enjoying the trendiness of the 1980s”
In the early 1990s, New York was known for its hip-hop and skateboarding street subculture and led the world. People's dressing style is closely related to the attitude of life.Their clothing also reflects street trends.
People are familiar with the Japanese style of harajuku often get surprised when they know that harajuku is actually a place. Harajuku is more than just a place for Japan. It has become a symbol of street culture.
After world war II, harajuk became a base for American troops and was exposed to street culture from the United States.
Later, in Japan, there was one of the earliest hippies, the element family.They are bold, novel, and even eccentric.
With our Scandinavian roots,
