Kitschy statement pieces and whimsical accessories bring happiness and allow personal style to be playful. Pop culture fashion icons show that slightly weird details can become standout elements. A tasseled, kaleidoscopic Dries Van Noten jacket worn by Miranda Priestly while facing corporate finance bros became a major wardrobe moment and triggered online debate. Some people loved the look, while others felt it did not fit Miranda’s typically polished image. The jacket was nearly removed because it pushed viewers out of their comfort zones, but it was defended as “fun.” The idea is that there should be no strict rules, including wearing shoes that do not match a handbag.
"“Wear a shoe that doesn't match your handbag. There really shouldn't be any rules.” Half the internet was totally obsessed with the standout from The Devil Wears Prada 2, while the other half felt like it wasn't on brand for the typically polished editrix. Sure, the sequel was destined to serve major wardrobe moments, but I didn't expect everyone to lose their minds over Miranda's look."
"“If there's anything I've learned from pop culture's most legendary dressers, it's that slightly unhinged accents can be some of the best parts of fashion. Every time a style star - real or fictional - rocks something wonderfully weird, I feel like it gives me the green light to get a little weird myself. Carrie Bradshaw's pigeon purse? Love. Björk's Oscars swan dress? Iconic.”"
"“So when Miranda Priestly sat across from a bunch of corporate finance bros while she was clad in a tasseled Dries Van Noten jacket, I felt empowered. The piece was kaleidoscopic, playful - it even shimmied. And it also sparked a massive online debate.”"
