Is fusion the new boho? As seen in a rather fantastic photoshoot for the NYTimes Magazine, today’s up-and-coming tastemakers favor a look that could be considered the 2.0 version of uptown-downtown style. From ballgowns and bandanas to Windsor knots and Vans, the clothing combinations du jour place tony elements next to rogue accents. Now, thanks to the Times, members of this sartorial tribe have a new moniker, but since the style is all about mixing old and new, does the term fusion really fit the bill? Mull it over and let me know. Also, an unrelated (yet Times-related) question:
