Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of weird fashion trends emerge on the internet. Normcore was one such fashion trend that emerged in 2014.It was all about having a hyper-adaptable
personality and being able to fit in wherever you are, as opposed to a conscious aesthetic choice.
Unfortunately, this still didn't stop everyone from Vogue to Gap from associating it with deliberate
blandness. Normcore was “fashion for those who realise they’re one in seven billion.”
Then followed Health Goth, a style movement which met at the intersection of monochrome sportswear and fetish culture. Then, in the wake of Prada’s SS16 collection, there was post-modesty – Miuccia Prada’s tongue-in-cheek response to people’s obsession with flagrant self-promotion on social media.And then came the next emerging trend- Bonnetcore. As the name suggests, it involves wearing bonnets – a type of headgear that emerged in the Middle Ages.
And now 2015 is about BeanBag Core-Taiwanese women wearing carrier bags. Hailing from China, the latest strange trend to take the web by storm is SproutCouture – bean sprout hair clips. Men, women, grandmothers and children in China are all donning the beansprout hairpin—a barrette that creates the highly sought illusion of a plant protruding from the head. This seems to be fashion's amazing trompe d'oeil by creating the illusion of beans growing out of your hair.
And guess what.. From where did this trend first sprout.. Well from a cartoon show - Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf.
It's really easy for all you fashion victims out there to participate in this trend. Simply purchase these bean sprout hair clips from ebay for just £0.63. And post your sprouts on #sproutcore..
