"When you walk on the street... normcore still exists" - @guyfieri.superfan
What happened to normcore? Normcore was in part a consequence of the shift to minimalism after the Great Recession of two thousand and eight. When the trend peaked, the tier fashion style was co opted by the fashion industry. As the economy got better, hype driven consumption emphasized drug models, logomania, and collaborations, effectively removing normcore from the zeitgeist. So is it really gone? According to Alexandra Then when you rank down the street, normcore still exists.
