Hit the Boardwalk

1920s fashions are everywhere now and will be even bigger in seasons to come. A slew of films are coming out depicting this period and these days "Boardwalk Empire" is enjoying a very successful second season. As usual, MyTrend is here to give you the look for less. All looks from H&M, but feel free to get it from all over the place!

The Hour

"The Hour" is a BBC show set in late 50´s  London. A team of journalists, producers and tv-presenters get caught up in intrigue and political conspiracy in a time when the cold-war was starting to gain momentum. Great characters and superb styling make this film-noiresque series a must-see!

Jean-Michel Basquiat

Basquiat with Warhol

One of my favorite artists is Jean-Michel Basquiat, the New York Pop Artist who died aged 27 in 1988. His work is still fresh and new, his style the victim of countless copies. After the release of the feature length documentary "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child" by Tamra Davis in 2010, Basquiat has enjoyed a return to pop-culture by being namedropped by rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye West and Rick Ross. His personal style of dressing made him a fashion icon and his prints are selling more than ever.

Original Penguin Outerwear

Original Penguin is one of my absolute faves! They keep getting better and better and their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection has some amazing outerwear. The Speakeasy bar is the concept behind this collection and I love that "Bordwalk Empire" feeling it has. Personally I´m obsessed with this biker/aviator hybrid, but also dig the wool varsity jacket and the plaid coat.
