Punk


One of the thematic trends for spring (and summer) 2011 is, still, the punk style. Since its introduction in 2010 it has become of more and more influence: its elements impact a lot of other trends. The punk style includes studs, heavy boots and safety pins.

Tip for the punk look: you can easily create this look by using accessoires that stand out and making unexpected combinations – wear heavy boots under a dress or get new laces for your sneakers to spice them up and wear them under a skirt. Cheap Fashion in Rotterdam (Meent 25) has a great variety of second hand items that, with a bit of creativity, you can combine into a great outfit!

Lace clothing


Lace fabrics in spring 2011 are classic with a quality antique touch. We see a lot of lace skirts and dresses, both black, white, and colored. We can see this trend represented in almost every collection in any fashion store: go to H&M or Zara, or take a look in your mom’s closet!
