Pretend you’re Eloise and it’s morning.
TikTok has emerged as a more important resource for the fashion business than runway shows, particularly in the realm of avant-garde fashion, in recent years. You can see all of the aforementioned in action in Plazacore. The “Eloise” aesthetic, named after the fictional resident of New York City’s Plaza Hotel, has seen significant growth in recent years.
For the sake of argument, I will assume that you never update your wardrobe and always wear tried-and-true items like collared shirts, tweed jackets, hair bows, and headbands. Upper East Side heiress Blair Waldorf is back, and she’s updated her look to be more modern and preppy, befitting her privileged status. The most recent season of Gossip Girl has some of the most gorgeous clothing ever seen, even if you didn’t like the attire from the first season, which aired more than 15 years ago (!).
However, in Plazacore, your “aesthetic” may also be important. TikTok’s biggest names, like @prettylittlefawn and @thesandraduran, have actually filmed there. While a movie set is ideal, a nearby five-star hotel and some green screen will serve in a pinch.
Plazacore fans should rest easy this holiday season because the genre is being celebrated by more than just the TikTok creators who have given Eloise their own twist. Get out your Peter Pan collar, your pearls, and your grandmother’s tweed coat. The boat has already left the dock if you decide to swim upstream.
