HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF

Are big zany hats + expanded craniums the future of fashion + human anthropologie?

I was just looking at some fashion blogs about a fashion week somewhere in some fashionable city, and I noticed this new ‘fashion trend’ that is possibly authentic, but also possibly just trying to be some sort of zany internet fashion meme. I sorta feel like huge heads are the future of fashion. Like, this is supposed to represent some sort of drive for knowledge + information until our heads swell up.  Also might be possible that we are evolving into ’super humans’, and our heads must expand so we can embed computers in our body.

I am very inspired by the fashion of Walter Van Beirendonck, who will probably be known better as ‘the bro who designed huge hats + heads.’

Sorta wish I could go to a fashion show that was clearly attempting to be ‘all zany.’

I feel like the designer bro must be inspired by the cranial structure of aliens.

Must be some sort of commentary on how our information economy + concept of ‘me’ has evolved so much. Like swollen heads.  Maybe commentary on tween culture, and the concept of ‘me’/'ego.’

Wonder if I could be a horse jockey if I had a ‘huge head’ of if that would weigh down my horse.   There are probably downsides to our evolution into huge-headed creatures.

I feel like the era of earbuds is over. We are headed back towards ‘huge ass’ headphones/earmuffs/head accessories.  Also might carry a lil machine gun in our jogging pants.

Kinda cold. Have 2 keep ears warm (possibly jam to a new mp3 downloaded from the formerly alt hypingmachine mp3 search engine).

Need some huge head accessories + a belt that is ‘fly.’

(honestly might buy some of these progressive cargo pants if Old Navy releases a similar style in 2k15.)

Honestly confused. Do yall think this is a trend or some sort of commentary on society/humanity/evolution/information?

Hope I can commission one of these huge head+hat combo deals in a ‘lil douchebag faux military hat.’

What kinda hat would u get?
Zissou red beanie?
Barry Bonds post-steroids enlarged head + baseball helmet?

Feeling hopeless. Untrendy. Might just ‘melt my face’ like the broad from . (This may or may not be a global warming metaphor.)

Will probably just ’stick my head in the oven’ and see if I can implement the new melty face trend/off myself.
