Fashion is frustrated: Fashion has officially lost the plot-prices are skyrocketing, quality's hanging on by a thread. And creativity? It's been MIA for so long, I'm about to file a missing person report. In the next year, expect a rise in style assemblages-personal archives having their day in the spotlight.
I've been repeating my own outfits and honestly, why not? Something unforgettable should see the light of day (or the paps) at least more than once. Anyone heard of sustainability? Even Bollywood's catching on, with Alia Bhatt leading the charge by re-wearing and reappropriating her iconic wedding looks, proving that great style doesn't always need a fresh tag. Something old, something new-right? There's also an element of nostalgia here-we're bringing back the greatest hits from different eras of our lives until we can see something new that's actually covetable.
ET Year-end Special Reads The mother of all Indian IPOs: Is it coming in 2025? 10 big events India witnessed in 2024 Thriller or mystery? How India's economy can unfold in 2025 Everything old feels new again-but this time, on purpose. This is really more of a movement and less of a trend. Leading the charge here? It's Gen Z .
With their unapologetic flair, fearless individuality-and a total lack of patience-they're rejecting fast fashion's churn-and-burn cycle and reviving vintage, thrifting, and re-styling as the new luxury. And because I'm nothing if not the patron saint of reinvention, I'll be hosting a garage sale of my most iconic designer looks to toast the future of fashion in 2025. A little archive, a little nostalgia, a little sustainability, and, of course, a whole lot of Orry.
