Crop Tops? Yes, They are Back

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Along with every other throwback to the 80’s, crop tops have made a comeback believe it or not. Neon is another one, but that is probably my least favorite trend that’s been forecasted for the upcoming months. Checked out a Marc Jacobs storefront lately? Neon everywhere. I guess I’m just too into everything earthy to embrace those brights. They just don’t feel fall to me…I think Fall and I think warm knits, cozy corduroy, and soft scarves. Perhaps that’s just the hopeless romantic in me…the hopeless romantic is also wishing I could slink around in one of these crop tops with no qualms about revealing my stomach, but that’s not the case. Instead, I thought of some other creative ways to wear this without having to look like I just stepped out of an episode of “Saved by the Bell”.

But after some “overnight success” as her site calls it, and some hype from uber-trendy NYLON Magazine, among others, Miller realized the potential in her baby collection and moved forward with new designs. With the help of former Proenza Schouler designer Madeleine Von Froomer, the two conjured up a contemporary sportwear line–Sophomore.
