May I add that I'm not really a fan of all this hipster thing going on???
This is my opinion, but from what I've seen, I don't get the ''I want to look dirty'' and not in a sexy way. The people I have seen who dress like that (hipster style) always look like they've been wearing the same clothes for weeks without washing them
Not a fan either of the ''Kanye West'' glasses...

But they're not popular here at all.

I have another one.. After seeing a reply about the stick thin-ness trend.
Retailers need to start acknowledging the average and above average women out there! Meaning the size 12s and up. We exist and we need fun trendy clothes too!

cupcake_x, that is exactly what I meant
Generally speaking, I only say they're unique because I haven't seen many people wearing them from the area I'm from...most girls wear the usual flip flops or flats. That's what makes them different to me.
Mostly I was referring to the especially interesting designs of gladiator sandals, because there are the flat ones that hit at the ankle (the most common ones) but I especially like ones that go all the way up to my knee like the Chanel ones I saw and fell in love with, and Steve Madden ones that go above my ankle as well. To me, they can be very unique.

I still think ripped jeans are stupid in general, whether you pay $500 or rip them yourself. It is funny when a girl wears ripped jeans but forgets to shave her legs, or she gets the rip around the butt and you can see her underwear.

I know what you're talking about... like those cheap clip-ons girls wear.
But if it's done well by a pro, extensions and weaves can look amazing and give the hair so much more volume. I love fake hair! woo!

I hear this a lot - I do some seamstressing.. I usually make one off pieces that tend to be really 'special' (i.e. take a LOT of time, they involve beading, embroidery et cetera) but I always end up making them in size UK6-8, because I have a model friend who models them for me for my portfolio who is that size... and then get complaints from other girls I know as to why I don't make more thing in their size. I make them that size for two reasons - the first isn't concrete, but I KNOW my friend will do exchanges for the clothes I design for her - she brings me to her photoshoots to do some MA work, or buys them off me, whereas I don't know if anyone else will.
And the second, the more concrete one - it all boils down to material cost. I can't make two identical pieces in an 8 and a 14 and charge different amounts for them, I have to charge the same, even though the size 14 cost me twice as much to make as the 8 did. ;(
It's unfortunate, but unless people want to pay more for the cost of material (which they never do) there's nothing I can do. I'm fairly sure this is why there is more of a selection iin smaller clothes sizes also - it's cost and profit effective.. a size 8 shirt might cost you €10 to make, and a size 16 €20 - but you have to sell them both for €25. ;/

I think it's funny that for practically every trend that is mentioned here, there's someone thinking (or posting) "Aww, but I really like that!"
So if you like something, it makes you happy, and you believe it really suits you stick to it. You can't please everyone no matter what you wear, so you may as well please yourself ;-)
Eg. I like ripped jeans. I have fun ripping my own. However, I ALWAYS shave my legs, even if my jeans aren't ripped. Ewww..... And NO rips are allowed near the butt or crotch area!! Like any "trend", they won't suit everyone. I'm slighter bigger on top than on the bottom, so it's fine for me to draw attention to my bottom half. Also, horozontal rips can have a widening effect, so it won't be flattering to many people but I'm a small girl so I don't care. I'm in to rock and metal, so it suits my 'vibe', whereas they're not going to look right on you if you want to look prim and proper, or whatever.

Girl I hear you about the cost, but being a bigger girl myself, I would totally be willing to pay for quality pieces, even if they cost me a bit more then the smaller sizes. As it turns out, many of the things for girls my size are made like crap and are made in the style of "old lady", and not worth what they ask for them in the first place. Give me well made, stylish pieces and I'd be willing to fork out more cash!
Also, I'd love to see some of your pieces sometime!

I think those gloves are 10x more attractive than the shoes.
