TRENDSPARK: Trailer Park Meets Park Avenue

Is “White Trash Chic” the latest craze or is it just plain crazy?

With the renewed vows of Heidi Klum and Seal on our minds (the two had a trashtastic ceremony, that’s Seal in a mullet and Heidi with cornrows above), we were starting to wonder if trailer park is the newest fashion trend. Pipeline answered our questions with a feature on the latest white trash inspired collections and photo shoots which have hit the glossies and runways recently. From A.Wang to Westwood, Marie Claire to Julia Restoin-Roitfel, it seems that the new money is down for looking like they ain’t got none.
