“The low shot or hip silhouette. We already saw it in the 20’s, we already saw it in the 60’s and 70’s and it was our basic rule in the 2000’s. Officially the hip style is back. Glitters everywhere. This due to the search for exposure and the desire to stand out after the pandemic. Glitter, lamé, sequins and metallics will prevail strongly. Definitively, one of the great general trends -and one that trend hunters were already visualizing in the streets- is floral, but in a retro 60’s style”, explained Torrejón.
