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.
