hi my beautiful bestie,
welcome to What Is This Regarding? where we take a critical lewk at wtf’s going on around us. with fashion month wrapping up (kinda) i’ve surveyed the landscape and the inspiration i’ve turned around with is that our muppet king oscar the grouch is very much an unlikely style icon.
1. iconic headwear
interesting millinery means something when it comes to personal style. we’re not talking buckets, fedoras, or a standard baseball cap; we’re talking hammered metal trash lid.
get the lewk: dries van noten goes full oscar with this cap; thom browne takes our creature lewk to the sea here; burberry said WHAT THE DUCK; or go full whimsy with issey.
its also worth noting how many full metallic lewks we saw this season on the runway, obviously inspired by our very own trash king:
2. ironic messages
hes’s basicaly wearing OG BFF. tell me we wouldn’tve seen our girls britney, paris, and the like in a I <3 TRASH shirt back in the day pumping gas or grabbing coffee.
what i love about oscar is that he keeps it simple; neutral metalics, pop of color, typical it-girl behavior wearing. a silly fur, and a message.
3. just. a simple city gorl
it appears that he’s either living in dumbo or next door to the carrie bradshaw apartment - the perfect place to be an it gorl. remember: oscar is just like us: city dwellers with a dream, living amongst trash.
so my gorgeous friend, i hope you feel more inspired to go live the day as your own truest style icon, bc that’s wtf its all about.
<3
i love u like i love fuego takis (YES THEY ARE VEGAN!!!),
