It all started with the 70’s trend: designers wanted this go-round to be different than our mothers’s version so they recreated trends only this time they strived to make them better. Fabrics were more luxurious, no detail was left behind; embroidery and embellishment became the norm while fur took a prominent position in so many collections and patchwork combinations became commonplace. Welcome to the new normal where the over-the-top has become the base line and normcore is nowhere to be found.
