There will always be a rock'n'roll trend roaming the streets. No matter what. But there are ones that will come and go like the seasons. In this trend there are a variety of different executions. One way is the collector patch denim. These are iron on patches that you would collect, whether you actually do that or just buy it that way is up to you. Normally these patches would be collected from adventures, favorite brands or things. I have spotted it in many cool young places and I believe that this new trend will come out in a big way.

Basically entailing the impression of vintage iron on badges. Its just a fun different way of personalizing your stuff. There are themes you could use, maybe a road trip theme, or even an acid trip theme. Which is really colorful and creative. The whole concept stems from that it's supposed to cover holes and imperfections in the clothing but at the same time adds character. Yet the beauty of the design becomes clear with the excessive usage, exaggeration and the O.T.T of the badges.

There have been a few designer handbags that have been selling sticker accessories. But what I think will be the hottest item is the denim jeans + jacket. They look fun, vintage and travelled. There is something special about a piece of clothing that has travelled with you, been with you through good times and bad that is so charming.

The other side of this trend is the 70’s mega patch size, with traditional materials and color. This carries through from the patchwork trend and works its way into its own unique category. It is intentional, bold, big, blocks that are becoming super trendy. Strong proud statement pieces. So far and in my personal opinion they look best when used for pants or coats. The larger the item of clothing the better it looks because then you can really have big shapes and blocks. Imperfect perfection. And this is most certainly no grandmamas quilt!

Side note: I think that there will also be a trend of collecting stickers and iron on things again. People will start putting them on their travel suitcase. Like the old trunk suitcases with all the places they have been. Its very fun young and care free that makes this trend so appealing. So have fun with it! That is what is important here :)
