Set in the vast arena of an abandoned car park the highly anticipated Topman Design Spring/Summer 13 show saw the meeting of two cultural divides of early 80’s America. Damn Donde Rifleman Shirt In one corner was the tailored aesthetique of the East Coast and downtown NY, and in the other, the zowie way-out radness of the native West Coast skater. Together, they created a young, fun, energetic and rebellious collection ideal for sunnier seasons ahead. First up was a range of summer tailoring, featuring loose fit pleat turn up-shorts, cut off jumpsuits and parachute silk parkas in a mixture of greys and multicoloured scribble. To follow was a collection of scoop neck sport style shirts, over-sized mesh tops, knee-length shorts and technicolour trainers. Centre of attention was the brightly coloured oversized American football jerseys paired with matching loose fitted shorts, socks and ankle boots. Meanwhile, slack fitting jackets replaced the traditional blazer, alongside suede belted bombers, baggy knitted jumpers and printed pleat shorts. Backpacks were also on show (skateboards attatched), whilst footwear visited new extremes with crazy bright trainers and ankle-laced leather cut out brogues in black, white and tangerine.

If you’re not on fashion TikTok yet, Damn Donde Rifleman Shirt consider this your sign to start scrolling. The style side of the app has quickly become my go-to resource for outfit ideas and I’ve racked up the screenshots to show for it. I could go on and on about some of the best style moments on TikTok right now (and I have) but today I need to bring your attention to one creator, in particular, whose outfit videos I can’t stop watching. Laura Hoden, otherwise known as her handle @imlauranotlauren on the app, has gone viral for her series “Celeb style on a size 10” where she re-creates memorable celebrity street style moments with pieces in her own closet. The concept of DIY-ing a celeb outfit is hardly novel, but I was immediately impressed with the level of accuracy that Hoden’s outfits achieve (she nails the overall silhouette, from the color scheme to how each piece fits), and while an exact re-creation of any A-list ‘fit can easily put my bank account into overdraft, Hoden manages to do so with affordable favorites like H&M and Zara. “I wanted to prove a point that size has nothing to do with having style,” she explained when I asked her about what inspired this series in the first place. “You don’t need the celebrity body (or budget!) to re-create these looks.” As a firm believer that style should be accessible to everyone, I couldn’t agree more. She continued, “I have seen a lot of discourse on social media of women feeling like they couldn’t dress a certain way because they weren’t a smaller size—and that hurts to see. I have lived my entire adult life between a size 10 to a size 16 and have never let my body stop me from having confidence in what I wear.”. Celebrity street style outfits are, of course, notoriously tricky (see pelvic cutouts, ultra low-rise hems, and see-through fabrics) but Hoden has an eye for the ones that she can recreate with the pieces that are already sitting in her own closet, rather than outfits that rely on shopping hyper-specific trends. Outfits from the likes of Hailey Bieber, Elsa Hosk, and Emily Ratajkowski feature regularly on her channel as they tend to fit her casual, minimal, and menswear-inspired style the most. Ahead, see the original celebrity inspiration along with Hoden’s DIY version and, of course, shop the pieces you’d need to re-create each look for yourself.
