What Is Normcore?
Once upon a time, there were individuals who did not care about fashion trends and would wear anything that was comfy. Individuals who on their day off loved non-cool sneakers and non-trendy skinny jeans. These were individuals who did not care to know what hemline was out and what color was in.

Sasha KonikovoPublished 6 years ago in StyledThe 70s Movements
The 1970s was a time where people were looking for peace from all the chaos created in the 60s and were looking for freedom. People were also looking for their rights as a human being and to be equal with one another. Since the government was not listening to the people, the people claimed the streets creating many riots and protests to force them to listen to them. These occurrences opened a new door to fashion. Usually, a Designer would show his/her collection to rich clients and then to the mainstream via fashion magazines and retail shops. This was the traditional way of spreading trends. Fashion started developing from the streets as people started using fashion to vocalise their speech. In this essay, I am going to explore two of the movements in the 70s and how it influenced fashion. These fashion trends till this day have still influenced and still visibly present. The two movement that I am going to explore are the Black Power Movement and the Women's Liberation Movement as both of the movement were very big in the 70’s.
Prativa RaiPublished 6 years ago in StyledSweet Nose Warmer, Bro!
I fully support those who use initiative and are actively attempting to provide a service for us in society through the creation of new products and inventions. But I simply cannot get on board with this. Though my nose is reduced to a red, snivelling mess quicker than the average person, the mere idea of strapping one of these abominations to my face puts my suffering sharply into perspective. My rather one-sided view may be down to it conjuring memories of the beak I wore as part of my dodo costume for a school play in my pre-teens. I still resent it for almost detracting from my wonderful performance in that Alice in Wonderland production; however, despite my personal motives, I doubt I am alone in ridiculing this latest craze.
