Gabbers VS Clubkids

Hi Guys,

For this blogpost I was inspired by the cool subculture from the Gabbers with my vintage cobalt blue oversized bomberjacket. Gabbers arised in the 90’s. The origin of the gabbers is the Rotterdammers rebelling against Amsterdam.
At first it was a real regional style, but after 1994 it became more popular. The term ‘gabber’ means buddy or friend in Yiddish. I'm not a Gabber but it's so funny to know, cause i'm originally from Rotterdam;)

The clubkids signature is the typical Platform shoes i'm wearing for this blogpost. I have also worn these in some previous posts, in combination with the net material of my sweather.
This subculture were young creative folks late 80's, begin 90's and were mostly outsiders from the society. Gay, lesbian, biseksuals, Transgenders (LGBT) or just creative people that loved to express themselves with their elaborate and outrageous costumes. This in combination with a lot of party, sex and drug use.

Two total different styles/subcultures that I liked to combine for this look. Made it my own because of the color of the bomberjacket and the sporty Adidas bag.

This bomberjacket is vintage and bought this one at Episode in Utrecht. The black pants I'm wearing is a slim fit J.C.RAGS  wich I also bought in Utrecht. The net sweather is from Zara and the cobalt blue bag is from Adidas. The silver fishhook bracelet is from Weekday.The Silver necklace is from SIX. The platform sneakers are from YRU.
