(Pic) The “Hipster Fashion Cycle” Illustrated

By Laura Feinstein on June 29, 2010

From Flavorwire, and designed by Emily Miethner, this colorful illustration charts what companies like Urban Outfitters have known for awhile: today’s painfully lame trends are tomorrows cutting edge fashion. For example, in the platform-ridden mid 90′s, nothing seemed more outdated than a pair of white keds- but more then 10 years later — voila, the hottest item for spring/summer.  However, one item we can be almost certain will never come back in style? The wide legged JNCO’s and Kikwears of 96,97, and 98- for some reason those seem to exist in a seperate sphere of their own- sure to never be touched by either hipster anthropologists nor fashion enthusiasts for years to come. So what items do you think are do back for a comeback some time soon?
