Fashion is my Kryptonite

Do you like fashion? Do you know the terms elf boots, eye jewelry, facekini, eye tattoos or bagel heads? Whether you like fashion or not you will find the following weird trends very interesting.

Can you imagine getting a piece of platinum jewelry in your eye? Why not? It sounds weird but it is no so strange in places like Rotterdam or New York, where many teenagers have already tried these kinds of accessories.

Another way of changing your eye style is tattooing or dying your cornea. It is now a new trend in Canada. Reasons for this practice include the improvement of sight or a better appearance. The problem is that the process can be very dangerous. Many people have gone blind after the procedure.

Talking about danger, have you ever seen a boy wearing elf boots? It is now part of the Elven outfit. These boots are long, pointy and if you wear them you look like if you were going to punch someone in the ass. It is not a joke, this type of footwear was very popular in Mexico, where it was trendy for a  long time. Initially men wore them to try to impress women but, honestly, I don't think they have have a chance.

If you really want to impress others, just follow the Japanese. Have you ever eaten a doughnut? Well, you don’t have to if you travel to Japan, where you can inject saline into your forehead to make a sort of bagel shape on your face. Although the saline finally gets absorbed into your body, many people have already tried this.

Apart from this, if what you are looking for is to cover your face just put on a facekini. Not a bikini, not a tankini…but a FACEKINI! Actually these facekinis were created to protect people from sunrays, but it is better to buy sun cream because you look like a terrorist if you wear them.

What else will people be able to do in order to attract others' attention?

Hipsters

Hi guys! Have you ever heard of the word hipster, well, you will probably have an small idea of what it is, you will have in mind those typical boys wearing big glasses, long beards, always hearing music with his i-phone while they drink Starbucks coffee. Okay, so this urban culture is now becoming very very popular amongst the young.

The word hipster first appeared a long time ago in the 20th century within the jazz music; this urban culture has a great relationship with the hippies and the indies. The hipsters is an extended group mostly in cities like New York, Chicago or San Francisco.

They are mostly intellectuals that show independent  thoughts and have a special attraction to the artistic world, they love independent cinema and unknown music bands (that probably nobody has never heard) mostly alternative rock. They are always trying to be original and different than everything, refusing the local brands and shops, interested in ecology, freedom and living in his own world. In conclusion, their principal hobbies are cinema; music, arts, photography, travelling and showing their opinions on social networks.

Now I´am going to talk about their estetic; their form of dressing don’t follow an specific line, they wear reuse or vintage clothes they find in retro stores and t- shirts with messages, symbols, animals,or of some music group.  Hipsters don’t wear any make up because they are in favour of natural beauty, moreover, they don’t even brush their hair because they refuse any type of  artifices.(something I like).

In my personal opinion, nowadays there are too many hipsters, or mainly people that want to be like them pretending to be something they are not, so its not really an original or different culture. It is also a great  irony to say they don’t follow any type of fashion when they really are the fashion.
