Trickle across and Trickle up theory

TRICKLE-ACROSS THEORY

Proponents of the trickle across theory claim that fashion moves horizontally between groups on similar social levels.
                   In this theory, there is little lag time between adoption from one group to another. EXAMPLES:-  aviator glasses, kimonos,bold bottoms and many more.

TRICKLE-UP THEORY

The trickle up theory or bubble up pattern is the newest of fashion movement theories.In this theory the innovation is initiated from the street , so to speak and adopted from lower income groups; thus the movement is from the bottom up.EXAMPLE:- pea jackets, khaki pants,leather jackets, punk look,t-shirts,ripped jeans.
