Fashion Designers have it easy..

While listening to some techno music from the 90'S, MC Hammer's- 'Can't touch this'to be specific, one thing apart from the awesomely insane dance moves caught my eyes, and probably if you youtube the video right now, the thing might just pop out at you as well. In case you haven't figured it out just yet, its MC Hammer's metallic frompy fashionable pants! YUP! The man is not only gifted in rapping but he definitely had a way with clothes and those Aladin pants were his trademark. I then thought, 'where have I seen those pants lately?' and the current Harem pants trend came to mind. Fashion undoubtedly is a cycle that makes is easy for fashion designers to cope in the financial market. All they have to do is think of a way to modernise and resurrect previous trends that hibernated. Here are a few trends that have reincarnated in the year 2011-2012 that might be familiar to both you and your great grandparents.

There goes MC Hammering in the classic pants..

....and a slightly more modern twist to the parachute pants.





The 80's will always be remembered for its loud colours and extreme fashion styles...this dress reminds us of a prom episode of Saved by the bell..

Look how these celebs rock them out..

And I had to conclude with my trendy African ancestors, who knew how to design prints that would last for centuries.
