80. "Somehow Y2K nostalgia" aespa's 'iron taste' fashion spree [Viknik]
The girl group aespa, which has recently gained popularity with its first full-length album 'Armageddon', is famous for its so-called 'iron taste' idols. The word "iron taste" refers to the exhilarating and strong sensation of metal on the tip of the tongue, and the intense music that seems to make it sound like the universe is exploding, as well as the visuals such as the metallic costumes, jewelry, and shiny silver makeup.
This kind of iron flavor is emerging as a new trend in the fashion world, where the concept of 'Newtro' with natural freshness or retro casting has been the mainstream. Glossy silver or metallic materials with a futuristic female warrior feel and curved design elements that drop off are key.
Signs of a sense of iron taste have already appeared in the overseas fashion world since last year. The so-called "Frutiger Aero" trend, which was popular from the 2000s to the early 2010s, is returning. Fourtiger Aero is a compound word of the font 'Fourtiger', which was widely used in early color computers, and Aero, the user interface (UI) of the Windows Vista operating system released in 2006. In the design industry, it is mainly expressed in futuristic curves and bright green and light blue combinations that can be used on window wallpapers, and in the fashion industry, it is represented by silver clothes and jewelry made of glossy materials that fit the body.
