Ader Error - My New Favourite Brand

I have become obsessed with a Korean street wear brand that I discovered on pinterest or was it Instagram? Whatever the media, I am now following Ader Error on everything. Ader Error is a simple, yet contemporary brand. Making small amendments to basic garments creating minimalism that's a little bit unusual and different, with a small cut here and a change of fabric there. The cutting of the garments is clever but simple and the styling is to die for!

Its cool 90s streetwear with a geek chic twist. A tongue in cheek look at street wear moving it away from the sports wear image and mixing it up with childlike, functional styling with a nod to the 90s skater. Its young, its fresh and although the pieces could be worn alone as simple street wear garments, I would prefer to throw it all on at once and add some big earrings, large glasses and of course tube socks with your white trainers or sliders....No Debutante style. There is also a big nod to the contemporary Normcore look mixing sweatshirts and tees with denim which sounds very minimal but again its in the styling, the t-shirts need to be baggy (and preferably tucked in) and the jeans need to be cut off or rolled up just above the ankle. It's these little things that count when styling yourself up.

I love street wear and follow so many brands who have their own unique twist on it which is essential to standing out from the crowd and adding some personality to the brand. As well as Ader Errors styling, I love the mix of colour used between the garments themselves and the backgrounds to the photoshoots, I like the way they seem to clash but somehow compliment each other. What ever it is I am Ader Errors number one fan and looking back through Ader Error back catalogue of collections since their launch in 2014, they are full of so many ideas, the styling is something else, these collections could honestly keep me inspired for ages. I am proper obsessed! I love you Ader Error!!!

Normcore?

What is Normcore? The term has been doing the rounds over the past few years with each explanation meaning a slightly different thing from the next, let's not start pointing fingers as to who's right or wrong at this point. No Debutante's understanding of the word is to dress like a 'normal', to not stand out, to dress down and to not follow fashion or labels. However, when I look at any fashion look described as 'Normcore' it usually features denim jeans & jackets, a plain t-shirt, white socks and trainers and these items nearly all have a label or a logo on them somewhere especially the sports items, Levi's, a Fila t-shirt, Reebok Classic trainers and some white Adidas sport socks not the 'anti fashion and labels look' that many make it out to be. So, who is right?

I see Normcore as a mix of the contemporary Urban sportswear, late 80s & 90s retro sports club culture with a big influence from the minimal nineties denim and a plain t-shirt casual fashion inspired by Calvin Klein, Benetton and The Gap, this all mixed up with sports labels and logos to add a small status symbol to this casual laid back look. 

There is another side to Normcore which is mostly in (what I would usually describe as) bland colours like grey, navy, khaki white or black (even beige for goodness sakes)  but the styling is contemporary, it's streetstyle inspired with a nod to skate fashion with long sleeve t-shirts and those 'cool as' half mast Dickies for the boys. We are not looking at this side of things today but No Debutante will be going into more detail into this look soon.

Normcore is a look to get noticed in, not a look to blend into the crowd in, my gosh, if it was so anti-fashion how could I dress it up No Debutante stylee? The look this time round has a swagger to it, it's not preppy it's streetwear, it's contemporary and it loves a sports label!
