The Vice Global Trend Report 2007
My thoughts on “The Vice Global Trend Report 2007”.
First of all, thank you Vice, you made us look like complete morons. Every other country looks hip, but we look like we should be in war with them.
The guy is clearly from foreign origin, which is not a problem, but personally I wouldn’t use some Turkish guy to represent the Belgian youth. I do know that we’re a melting pot of different cultures, but this is dead wrong.
And yeah, you see guys like that all the time in Brussels, but the fact is that the “real” Belgian youth does not dare to walk around in Brussels. Not only do we get attacked/murdered for our cell-phones, I-pods and other expensive goodies, while walking around in Brussels looking all cool we often get beaten up for being ourselves. Yes, maybe we’re cowards, but I’d call Brussels as dangerous as NY. The problem is that it’s a relative small city, without different districts to provide hipsters the habitat they deserve.
But enough babbling about the dangerousness of Brussels, let’s talk fashion!
As you can see the guy is wearing a Carhartt-tee, and we all know that’s only fashionable when you’re a skater. (I do not like the word “skater”, but I need to use it in this case)
As you might have noticed the Carhartt-logo is kinda big, well the article says that we wear big brands and logo’s still without any shame. Well my friends, we DO NOT. That phenomenon disappeared in 2001 I reckon. Vice also tells us that Belgian boys prefer tweed over leather and that choice makes them look like decent grandfathers. (?!)
Finish that look with a comfy pair of trousers and you’re ready to go. Fuck, they’re not THAT stupid… Belgian boys like tight pants. THEY FUCKING DO.
And they also like fluorescent leggings.
About the “Girl”:
There’s nothing wrong with her actually, but she’s dead boring. The only girls who dress like that are “college-girls” without a decent sex-life. And what the hell is up with the scarf? How many sheep have died for that? Finish it with a standard H&M vest, some fake leather bag and ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly boots. Yes. That’s not how Belgian hipsterinas dress. ‘Nuff said.

This is... Belgian fashion! 02/04/2007
The Attic. Thanks to Athos for the impulsive idea.
And thanks to Julie, for the gigantic closet full of fashionable clothes!
Featuring me (the blonde), Ruslan, Karolien, Julie "Jules", Maarten in a dress & Athos.

But remember : heavy make-up doesn't cover up the many sleepless nights.
Soundtrack: 90's & a lot of electro.
