Vogue debates potential revival of Indie Sleaze fashion

Fashion writers at Vogue are discussing the potential revival of Indie Sleaze. This style, popular in the late 2000s and early 2010s, is known for its edgy and messy look. Some believe it is making a comeback, while others are skeptical. Christian Allaire, who experienced the trend during his college years, described the style as a mix of skinny jeans, leather jackets, and messy hair. Hannah Jackson, who enjoyed it in high school, recalled American Apparel skirts and the music that defined the era. The writers agreed that the concept of Indie Sleaze might feel too soon to revive. Allaire noted a lack of authenticity today, with celebrities often having stylists that create polished images. Jackson pointed out that some current stars, like Addison Rae and Charli XCX, capture the carefree attitude of the past. They discussed how the trend might evolve. Jackson suggested it reflects a push against the sanitized celebrity culture. Events, like Charli XCX's recent performance, show that people still want a dose of "sleaze." Allaire expressed excitement about mixing eclectic vintage styles, while Jackson felt nostalgic for pieces she had discarded. They concluded that the revival could offer a chance to reimagine the style with a modern twist.
