THE SECOND DECADE OF GRIME AND THE INFLUENCE IN FASHION
Fashion for the younger person often reflects what they listens to, we base our outfits on the status of an event depending on where it is and what artist is playing. Grime is an intriguing genre of music, a type of music that I enjoy listening to and get inspired by. Music has always inspired how people dress as we constantly follow new trends, celebrities and artistic movements. The daily struggle of what to wear has become one trend.To dress in tracksuits, caps and trainers and keeping real to yourself and your background is why the artists dress the way they do, while still looking good and influencing their audience. In the 90s many of the UK garage clubs banned trousers, trainers, jeans and baseball caps. These forbidden items of clothing are now worn in grime. Around 2013 grime began to remember what had made it such a powerful presence in the first place.

Menswear journalist Daryoush Haj-Najafi commented on his recent work "Nasir is creating a world that has a way of talking, a way of dancing, a way of moving, a way of dressing. It's got a whole world around it that is thought of as street but it's not just street, it's so much more." He is a very modern designer and is aware of what is trending and current in the fashion movement, which is perhaps why he is so appealing to the younger person too.

I consider why people wear tracksuits and trainers , perhaps they allow you to move and travel effectively within a busy lifestyle. It is interesting that people are styling their outfits for comfort and ease not just for chic.
