The role of fashion inside Gossip Girl's reboot More minimal, gender fluid and emerging brands outfits
Hello, Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl is back. On July 8, HBO aired the first episodes of the reboot, blowing away all the nostalgic OG series fans and fashion addicts who couldn't wait to get a glimpse of the new outfits of New York's coolest kids. It takes little to understand that Blair and Serena have left their place and their wardrobe full of Dior and Marc Jacobs to a more contemporary style, made to conquer Gen Z and, for this, inevitably influenced by Instagram and TikTok, as also admits Eric Daman, the costume designer who worked on both versions of Gossip Girl. Compared to its predecessors, the student crew that sits in 2021 on the stairs of the MET has a more hybrid, gender fluid, minimalist style, a bit '90s slacker. He loves to mix big brands like Gucci with many emerging ones like Monse, Cinq à Sept, Bode, LaQuan Smith and Christopher John Rodgers and alternates XXL varsity sweatshirts worn with biker shorts and sneakers to skinny micro dresses, a bit like IG influencers.
