Enjoy the classics
Every once in a while, be it in the fashion, music, literature or even in the car industry, the tendency is to go back to the past – good proof of that is the appearance of classic car hire companies in major cities. This retro tendency is well documented, and it often makes people go into fashion trends that were considered incredibly bad taste a few years before. We have some recent examples of that, with the return of the parachute pants, one-piece suits and skinny jeans to women’s fashion, as a clear return to eighties fashion. In fashion, there are even some stylists that model their entire careers around a specific era in time, be it the Greek style drapings or the 20’s tom-boy fashion.
In music, there are often retro movements that take us back to times when music was considered “more pure”, as opposing, for example, the heavily electronic based music industry we have not. Literature itself moves constantly between rejecting past norms and re-embracing them generations after, only to shun them once more.
What about the car industry? We tend to think of cars as constantly evolving, and if that may be true for the technology under the hood, looks are a completely different issue. The comebacks of the Mini and of the Beetle are good examples of going back to the past.
