To go along side the collections of boards I have on Pinterest, I thought I would create a little series of blog posts discussing trends we are so bored of seeing in fashion image, and that have just been worked to death.
First I want to start with frames. Circa 2007 they were still vaguely original, with Tim Walker still shooting with them for Vogue, so they must have had some appeal. But the more they diffused to be used in non high fashion editorials, the less acceptable they have become, being regarded more now as an amateur prop.
Worse still they have become the newly weds cliche, the Pinterest pose of choice. No self respecting stylist would now even dream of using them for fear of the ridicule they would face from their peers, or you know, just thinking they're a bit stupid ;)
The only way I can see them working now is for the mockery and irony opportunities. Though unless the stylist realises it's ironic, then really it's just tragic.
Looks like frames have had their day (well had it a while ago), time to chuck them on the fire, the wood makes good kindling!
Here's my Pinterest board on frames, plenty more pictures on there.
