Added 2021-02-23 20:25:40 +0000 UTC♡ THE PATCHWORK TREND ♡ patchwork is a direct product of our time, partially influenced by the ever growing sustainability movement and the return of Y2K style. this DIY aesthetic has particularly boomed during the pandemic thanks to the likes of the internet and tik tok. with nowhere to go and no one to see, many of us have spent the past six months in old sweatpants and oversized hoodies. it’s not surprising that we’re craving unique fits in comparison to the loungewear looks. in turn, teens all over the internet are sitting in their rooms reworking old shirts. patchwork-style clothing is showing up in the designs of fashion brands around the world too. we’re seeing this aesthetic resurge after it’s popularity in the 90’s and early 2000’s. it only makes sense that this trend would come around again considering this generations love for anything reminiscent of the early 2000’s, combined with the boom of sustainable fashion and the climate crisis. with an emphasis on putting discarded fabric to use, this style speaks to the need for sustainable fashion. as we wake up to the damage we are doing to the earth, there’s a desire for real change, both within the industry and the choices we make as individuals.
