Do you ever feel like the things you’ve loved are discovered seven years later and obliterated into a million tiny pieces? Me too. Tell that to the writers of NYLON magazine, who have confused our dear ENID with someone by the name of EDITH. We get it, everyone loves Luella for spring, check out Fashion Toast’s take, WWWD’s or our’s from last week. Regardless, know the character before you try to mimic it.
The New York Times is proclaiming a cartoon zeitgeist in fashion. You can spot these images everywhere from Coco Rocha in Vogue (in our mailbox today) to everything created by Luella Bartley for Spring. If we had to pick a comic book character to model ourselves after, we’d politely say no to Wonder Woman, scoff at Super Girl, and wait for our chance to become the ultimate in cool, Enid.
As someone who watched Ghost World every day (seriously) while living in a small room in New York, I can tell you that Enid rocks sweet 90′s riot grrrl style like no other. I’d much rather return to the days of Bikini Kill and Bratmobile, than be modeling my clothes after Ashley Simpson. Luella Bartley obviously felt the same way, and for that reason we thank her.
