2000s fashion can be described as being a global mix of vintage styles, ethnic clothing and music-based subcultures influences. But despite many different style fluctuations, denim jeans played a central role all throughout the decade.
Celebrities highly influenced new trends with the rise of the internet and image-sharing, and popularized designer logos boldly printed on clothing and bags. Designer handbags became a must-have as fast-fashion spread and offered very affordable clothing options for consumers. Designers themselves collaborated with fast-fashion retailers to create affordable versions of their designs: in November 2004, H&M launched its first designer collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld.
