90's Rave inspired

Goodmorning Folks,

For this blogpost I would like to tell a cool story about the bomberjacket I'm wearing for this outfit. I always thought that the original bomber jacket is something from the late 80's/90's but it goes waaaaaaaaayyyy back. 

It was mostly seen at some thereotype subcultures as punk, 90's rave, skinheads and 'gabbers', but I never knew that it started as a military Flight jacket, worn at World War I & II. It was created for pilots. the trend started at 1915 in the US army to keep the pilots warm during flying.   

It was set up a manufacturing trend in the United Kingdom in 1926, and became the main outwear of flight jackets for the Royal Air Force during most of world war II. 

However, the demand during the early years of the war was so great that the Irvin company engaged subcontractors, which explains the slight variations of design and colour that can be seen in early production of the Irvin flying jackets.

I styled this look using this jacket more like people did in the 90's rave subcultures, because that fits my personal style more. The 90's rave trend is huge right now...cropped tops mixed with neon and geek chic. 

It was upcoming that time to experiment with diffrent hairstyles, not only for girls but also for boys like braids, dots, colored and shaved hairstyles or a combination of them. With this look I would like to bring the hairstyle back to the street, that can be worn for a casual look. Thanks Luciënne for the hair!

The Bomber jacket is from Episode, the blue jeans is from Levi, the netshirt is from Antony Morato and the black pattent shoes are the 2.0 wings Adidas designed by Jeremy Scott .

AMAZING RED

Goodmorning Folks,

For this look I would like to show one particulair item... and I think you can guess what item that would be... LOL. 
Its a great items to make the look colorfull, edgy and cool. The red leather jacket is from the new Zara early spring collection 2015. When I'm wearing leather jackets it always brings some rock roll vibe with it. Just combine this with other leather items like a black leather jeans or a great pair of leather boots underneath. But for this post I made it a little bit more funky and casual. I combine this jacket with a leopard printed T-shirt that's from the brand Criminal Damage. 
The high waist light blue denim jeans is from Cheap Monday. They always have the best and most comfortable jeans most of the time for a good price. I've you take a look at my closet you'll find alot of Cheap Mondays!
The white Qozmo platformsneakers from YRU to complete the look. I still think that platformsneakers are dope and spring ready for this year!!

Look at the photo's below and tell me what you think of this look!
