Dear Granny

Cate Blanchett in full-on granny mode for the film Carol

Unlikely though it may seem, the fashion world is paying homage to grandmothers with granny-style inspired clothes. Although it has lots to do with the recent taste for retro elements, it has absolutely nothing to do with being old-fashioned. Karl Lagerfeld and Miuccia Prada top the list of this trend that brings together crocheted sweaters, tweed skirts, cat-eye sunglasses, which mix post-war fashion with the elegance of the 1950s and modern colours and fabrics. The style that has taken the 'it' girls by storm proves that fashion remains ageless. The protagonism of veteran icons such as Iris Apfel and Joan Didion speaks for itself.
