Do
you remember playing Crazy Taxi for Game Cube? It came out in 2001 for the game
console and was my absolute favourite game. Since I still like to indulge in
video games every once in a while I never got rid of my Game Cube. The other
night I was bored and nothing was on TV so I pulled out all the cords and games
and finally decided on revisiting my childhood with some “CARAZZZY DRIVING!”
I
had been playing for less than 10 minutes when I noticed a really amusing
thing. All the characters; Gena, Axel, Gus and B.D Joe were all dressed in
current trends!!
Axel and Gus sporting on trend floral button up shirts and Tommy Bahamas which you see flying off the racks in every vintage store and over populating the mens sections in places like Top Shop and online at ASOS.
Now Gena is sporting the good footwear, people have always loved Converse but it's been more popular since this summer and can be seen on all the fashion forward women's' feet, although I'm not a fan of the orange; Gina still has the best kicks.
Last but not least B.D Joe, my personal favourite not only for his great lines and ginormous smile but for his kick ass bucket hat! All summer I saw people in floral bucket hats but even now into winter, working down the street from Stussy- I probably see at least 5 people a week coming into Oak + Fort with bucket hats on.
You just have to love reoccurring trends, without them we wouldn't be able to relate to the characters of our childhood! Also how great were the stops you had to make- Pizza Hut and the Levi store; they were so on point with those two.
