 (Yes, I'm also looking at you Southern Hemisphere, Your next!) 

The brat style movement is more than just a fashion trend—it’s a declaration. Inspired by the fearless spirit of Charli XCX, this summer is all about embracing the brat within you, and nothing embodies this daring vibe better than Bande de Vagabonds’ Turkish artisan-made brass Ring and Hoop Earrings with that Peridot Green brat colored stone for the official loki brat stamp.  These pieces are the ultimate symbol of rebellion and individuality.

Charli XCX and the Brat Movement

Charli XCX has always been a trendsetter, but with her sixth album, “Brat,” she has truly broken through to the mainstream. This album is her most daring yet, capturing the essence of what it means to be a brat in today’s world. It’s a celebration of confidence, rebellion, and unapologetic individuality—a perfect match for the brat style that’s taking over this summer.

In Stockholm, the word "brat" often refers to affluent kids living the high life, while in the world of anime, it describes confident young characters who refuse to be ordinary. In my life, Brat belongs to that special pack of beautiful actors that shaped my world with their piercingly honest performances in the movies that I grew up with.  Rob, Judd, Emilio, Molly, Andrew, the list goes on, but Today, we know a new name, Charli XCX.   This new brat isn’t just about fashion; it’s about a lifestyle that’s bold, vibrant, and fiercely independent, just like the Brat pack from my day.  What goes around really does come around. 

Vogue’s Pre-Game for Brat Summer: The Green Revolution

Vogue was quick to catch on to the brat style’s potential, much like it did with “the little green dress” back in 1968. That year, the world needed a color that was both bright and clean—a symbol of freshness and renewal. Today, that same vibrant green is making a comeback as the color of the brat movement. It’s bold, it’s rebellious, and it’s exactly what the world needs right now.
