Village Style

Wearing: Village Style Sweatshirt – Similar (ASOS) | All Saints Jeans | Topshop Boots | Celiné Luggage Tote

When I came across this sweatshirt at Village Style in the East Village, I immediately pictured Balenciaga and Topshop having a baby… for $15. And then I noticed that ASOS obviously already created something EXACTLY like it (here). The era of the fashionably acceptable sweatshirt has begun, and we’re all about it. Standard crew necks that used to appear to me as ‘bum-like’, and printed sweatshirts with all sorts of weird graphics have been given a new reputation thanks to designers like Markus Lupfer and Phillip Lim.
