Top gets shortened again and the stylish crop top, worn practically on everything, brings us, in a flashback, back directed into the nineties.
It is now almost twenty years since the navel piercing has made its first appearance in the video “Crazy” of the Aerosmith and in very recent times it seemed a forgotten accessory.
That attitude, rebellious and carefree, typically of bad girls seemed to have given way to the most creative and communicative tattoos trend.
Not so far as last summer, the advertising campaign for H&M beachwear sees the singer Beyoncé accessorizing her bikini with the navel earring, a symbol of royalty and nobility since in the ancient Egypt .
And if you look back over history of fashion, there are many models who have worn it. From Victoria’s Secret Angels, like Alessandra D’Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, to models on the catwalk trying to iconize their own body using it as a sign of recognition.
Simply a wish to stand out? The exaltation of a character or the affirmation of an identity? Many people use it to add that certain ” je ne sais qua” that makes them notice. Others only as ornaments or decoration.
I have been undecided whether to make one or not for a long time. And thinking about this trend, I feel a little nostalgia. Perhaps, what has always discouraged me was the possibility to contract infections and the painful procedures. Definitely you need to read up to do it safely and now you can have all the info you need surfing the internet.
