Fashion is a fickle thing and, like a loose and unfaithful lover, is always on the prowl for something new, relentlessly pursuing change for change's sake only and bugger the hurt feelings of last year's jeggings tossed nonchalantly into a dusty corner.
It has always amazed me how designers manage to reinvent the wheel each season to create a tweak on tradition that is twisted just enough to prevent the hauling out of last season's clothes or - as we all tried during the 60s revival - Mum's beaten up old knee-high boots and mini skirts.
Throughout my youth and into adulthood, I have seen many of last century's decades revisited briefly in one short year of fashion trending, and (much to my dismay on looking back), I embraced them all.
At 16 I was on-point with flares and skull caps made from crochet doilies. By 18 I was sporting teeny-weeny A-line minis along with bouffant hair and I've revisited the 80s more times than I care to remember at drunken dress-up parties and I'll no doubt continue to do so.
So where to for threads and duds now all the cool fashion flavours have been rehashed and we have seen black become the new black for more seasons that we care to remember?
