Trying to tidy up my huge stack of magazines [theoretically this counts as packing], I come across something.
Summer 2002. Young, stupid, thinking we know what we're doing, we publish our own magazine. In retrospect not much did go right, but, from the "hot tip style" kinda pages... [Americans, for "braces" read "suspenders".]
"Let's wave a sad farewell to belts... all you yuppies out there, dust off your favourite accessory, for braces are the big thing this winter. With minis, cords, even shown with casual joggers and the ubiquitous gothic shirt in fashion shoots all summer, braces are THE item to keep your clothes up on the cold days and nights ahead of us. Wear them with one side unfastened for that extra Chloe Sevigny chic. We do."
And what do we see *everywhere* at the moment? That's warranted mentions on The IS and in Super Super and no doubt a fair few other sites and publications that I've been too lazy to notice? That's right. So we were ahead of our time, whatevs. Now just keep yer eyes peeled for the one-sided look, and we'll be able to crow "told you so!"
