This is my final trend board for the trend 'Vintage Denim Workwear'. The aim of the trend is to reflect the history of the working class clothing, consisting of denim dungarees, jumpsuits and oversized jacket/jeans. I have taken inspiration from old images of the american working class men and women. The look also reminded me of a painters outfit, which is why I used the brush strokes for the colour palette and the ladder. If this trend was to develop into interior I would expect basic furniture with worn wood interior and flooring. The main colour palette in this trend is of course blue, grey, navy, white and occasionally khaki. Interesting details in this trend is large oversized pockets, patchwork denim and worn buttons. The beanie hat shows how the trend is quite street/urban, and a casual day to day look, perfect for Autumn/Winter.
My reasons for choosing this trend is because I love the idea that it has taken complete inspiration from the working class. Which goes against traditions, and makes the look cheap and affordable. I love the fact you can have as much fun with double denim as you like, making it such an effortlessly, quirky look. The trend is such a day to day look and perhaps something different to what you would usually see on the catwalk. This trend could potentially introduce Vintage stores to more people and boost the sales of the vintage market. I love when a style of clothing is reinvented in a completely different way, as back then the trend would of simply been worn for practical, work purposes but is now in fact going to be worn as a fashion staple and street look.
