DOWNSIZE STYLE:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tiny bags are the new tiny sunglasses. Seen on the runways at @brandonmaxwell @carolinaherrera @zimmerman and @maryam_nassir_zadeh the sized-down bags, worn cross the body or at the waist offer a foil to the season's silky silhouettes, soft drapes, and voluminous knits. But don't confuse little for cute. Versions like @brandonmaxwell's lock box bag prove that even the tiniest of totes can have a tough exterior - even if they'll only fit a Tic Tac.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #NYFW #brandonmaxwell #minibags #tinybags #handhags #NYFW #fashionweek #nyfashionweek #runway #accessories #small #mini #fashiontrends #fashion2019 #handbagtrends #style #streetstyle #designer #designerfashion #cfda #runway #runwayfashion #accessoriestrends #bagtrends #itbags #designerhandbags #warmcoolco #warmcoolfashion
DOWNSIZE STYLE: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Men's Fashion Week takes a step back and reconsiders its expansion in light of dwindling labels and cash flow. As the @nytimesfashion reports the move to #Downsize may signal a return to the way things were when, lacking endless corporate funding, designers took a guerrilla approach to getting their message across. Take @bode which showed in a re-skinned art gallery-turned-prepster garage to save costs, while showcasing the reclaimed narrative of her patchwork pieces.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #menswear #mens #mensstyle #nyfw #cfda #newyorktimes #bode #designer #design #fashiondesign #runway #runwayshow #downsize #small #upcycle #vintage #recycle #ecofashion #fashiontrends #mensfashionweek #vogue #fashionfund #culture #innovation #warmcoolco #warmcoolideaa
DOWNSIZE STYLE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The mini mane attraction at NYFW: Barrettes. The littlest of hair accessories is having a big moment as a low-commitment, low-cost wardrobe update with Instagram appeal. Takes seen on the micro-trend include traditional snap clips, bejeweled barrettes, and the super-sharable statement pin. More than an item to watch, the barrette's boom is evidence of a larger trend that sees one little item become magnified under the lens of social media until it reaches peak ubiquity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nyfw #nyfw2019 #streetstyle #barrettes #accessories #fashion #blogger #fashionweek #trend2019 #downsize #tiny #hair #hairgoals #warmcoolco #warmcoolwoman #runway #fashionphotography #innovation #design #goody #hairstyle #nyfwhair #beauty #beautytrends
THE END OF MORE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re shifting from empty calorie consumption to a focus on investing in and caring for enduring pieces. See the emergence of aftercare-oriented retail outposts like Melrose’s @Nordstrom local and the @jasonmarkk sneaker care studio. If the appetite for newness has shrunk, we’re still hungry for that covetable vintage find - #modernheirlooms designed for life, rather than a throwaway mentality.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #levis #upcycle #vintage #renew #sustainable #ecofashion #konmari #downsize #mariekondo #tinyhome #trends #fashiontrends #netflix #tinyhouse #tidyingup #sparkjoy #warmcoolco #ideas #futurist
FLIP THE BIRD⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beyond our spaces, the idea of downsizing is finding its way to our driveways. @bird scooter’s emergence has us all asking whether it’s finally time to abandon the family car? @ford seems to think so and has made a big investment in @spin, signaling a shift as automakers broaden their business to become mobility companies rather than just selling cars. Fact is: As our digital world expand endlessly, our physical worlds are shrinking - so we’re looking for more meaning and less noise, clutter, and disposable stuff. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bird #micromobility #scooter #ford #trend #fashiontrends #warmcoolco #transportation #clutter #downsizing #tinyhomes #konmari #newideas #creative #fashion #fashiontrends2019 #runway #lifestyle #warmcoolideas
MINI MANSION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the writing on the tiny home wall, startups are leveraging small as a marker of modernity. See new #DTC homewares brands like @burrow and @campaignliving that make modular, sized-down furnishings. As a sign of the times, designer #YvesBehar of @fuseprojectsf is working with @MIT on a line of robotic shapeshifting furnishings, perfect for your future living room with less.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #minimansion #yvesbehar #design #burrow #vc #home #millennials #modern #smallspaces #couch #campaignliving #konmari #downsize #mariekondo #tinyhome #trends #fashiontrends #netflix #tinyhouse #tidyingup #sparkjoy #warmcoolco #ideas #futurist
THE CASHE OF TRASH⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recycling takes on a new cultural cache - no surprise businesses have rushed to cash in. While retailers struggle, resale marketplaces like @depop and @threadup are thriving. Luxury consigner @therealreal is rumored to IPO as overstuffed Americans look for joy in the back of closets. With logos on the way out, #brandless is the new black with DTC startups like Italic offering luxury quality from designer factories without the brand name markup.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dtc #luxury #newluxury #sustainable #upcycle #threadless #depop #grailed #brandname #konmari #downsize #mariekondo #tinyhome #trends #fashiontrends #netflix #tinyhouse #tidyingup #sparkjoy #warmcoolco #ideas #futurist
#KONMARI EVERYTHING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Smaller spaces demand a greater economy with our things. Cue our new minimalist guru-in-residence, @mariekondo . If the viral success of @Netflix’s Tidying Up With #MarieKondo is anything to go by, living in a @muji hut and donating to @Goodwill are the new Millennial thrills.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #muji #mujihut #konmari #downsize #mariekondo #tinyhome #trends #fashiontrends #netflix #tinyhouse #tidyingup #sparkjoy #warmcoolco #ideas #futurist
DOWN WE GO⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Los Angeles has always been a bigger is a better mega-mansion town. But in 2019, we finally see the upside of the downsize. The housing crisis, soaring rent prices, and the fall out from recent natural disasters mean we are a city bursting at the seams. If we’re all going to fit, we have to think smaller - like tiny home or better yet @golandark.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #konmari #downsize #mariekondo #tinyhome #trends #fashiontrends #netflix #tinyhouse #tidyingup #sparkjoy #warmcoolco #ideas #futurist
How much more can we take? The max out mentality has created white space for brands bringing professional grade technologies to the weekend warrior. From the @MyPowerDot, a portable STIM system to the @Theragun, new therapies bring the language and logic of optimization to recovery, making a compelling argument for off days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #recovery #selfcare #theragun #powerdot #therapy #postworkout #sweatlife #nike #theartofrecovery #pyrotings #nycfitness #wellness #wellandgood #wellnesstrends #painmanagement #muscles #bodygoals #sweat #fitfam
Burnout goes beyond physical exhaustion. As described by @buzzfeednews, the addiction to performance and self-optimization has created a generation that's exhausted all of its internal resources and is still pushing - so as we look towards the future recovery isn't just an ice bath, it's an opportunity. Look to brands like @qantas that are integrating jet lag recovery lounges, weaving the message of recovery into their brand experience to give the tired and overworked space to recalibrate, rehydrate, and ready themselves to get back out there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #buzzfeed #burnout #milennial #buzzfeednews #recovery #optimization #quantas #jetlag #vacation #exhaustion #overworked #2019trends #2019ideas #trends #fashion #consumers #futures #futureideas #trendspotting
Studio fitness has always been about feeling the burn, but new concepts are doubling down on feeling better. At @recover.nyc you can book an infrared sauna, cellular massage, and compression treatments, while @wthn, a new boutique acupuncture and cupping studio offers a healing package for PMS, chronic pain, and insomnia. Not only do these studios make medical grade services accessible, they make them a group activity. All we need now is a @classpass opt in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #recovery #fitness #studiofitness #healing #healers #cupping #higerdose #recovernyc #sweatlife #sweat #NYCfitness #futres #futureideas #2019 #2019trends #trendspotting #wellness #wellnesstrends #sauna #treatments #classpass
