What will be fashionable in six months: 10 trends from Milan
SUMMING UPheld in the framework of the Milan Fashion Week. We have already written about trends from New York and London for this fall: black and red total bows, berets, brocade and velvet, vinyl and new tweed, wavy stand collars, chokers, striped things, maxi length, wild tights, - All this also appeared on most Milan shows. In this material - 10 more trends from the show, which we will adapt to your wardrobe throughout this year. However, no one bothers to do it right now.
Retrofuturism
Miuccia Prada is one of those who form the key trends: often other designers follow it only through the season. For example, six months ago, she was the first to mark the trend for baroque and things, as if woven by hand, but left unfinished. This season, one by one, the brands undertook to practice these ideas. In the new season, Prada is working with retrofuturism, which combines traditional femininity and new technologies. On the one hand, Miuccia shows classic and feminine fashion silhouettes of the 50s and 60s: double-breasted jackets, balloon coats, barrel dresses, cropped trousers, and trapezoid dresses. On the other hand, it refers to high-tech fabrics, molecular prints, plastic and glass finishes, and pure colors from pistachio and blue to pale lemon and pale pink. As we see it, retrofuturism should be the answer to the crisis in women's fashion, which is now stuck somewhere between androgyny, sport and hypersexuality.
Flared pants
The favorite style of the trousers of the mods of the 70s is back. According to Milan shows, flared pants can be very long (like Marni's), requiring shoes with heels or platform, or shorter, like on the Prada and Versace shows. Donatella even went to the bow in elongated flares, although, I must say, it is precisely among the shortened ones that the greatest potential exists. They look less trivial, much more practical and can be worn with shoes on a flat sole.
Orange
Orange is a complex color and rarely returns to fashion. However, at the shows in Milan, we saw orange in all its variety: mustard, carrot, cold, brick. So, MSGM show a lot of successful options for combining neon orange with things of white, neon-pink and blue, blue, beige, black colors. Fendi work with faded orange and combine it with white things. If you are not ready to decide on orange clothes, you can experiment with accessories: orange jack boots or gloves, bags will be useful. The main thing to dwell on only one thing of this color, otherwise an orange overdose will happen.
Baroque rings
Alessandro Michele showed one of the most powerful in terms of styling collections in Milan, simple and memorable. Curious was the use of baroque rings, which were last in demand five years ago and strongly associated with fans of Rick Owens. However, times have changed. In the wake of baroque fashion, luxurious Gucci rings offer to wear three different ones on one hand at once. So, rings are able to revive feminine flowing dresses, coats and suits in men's style.
Knitted vests
Such vests are associated with the fashion of our grandparents, as well as students of elite colleges. The first knitted vest reanimated a year ago, Hescieres. Season after season, other brands also came up: Miu Miu in the cruise collection and Christian Dior in the pre-autumn season. By next autumn, pseudo men vests will appear in the assortment of a much larger number of brands. Bottega Veneta sew them from Lurex and combine with silk blouses and trousers in men's style. MSGMs put on a waistcoat on a shirt or turtleneck and combine with flared trousers. Gucci combine a waistcoat with a feminine skirt and a blouse with a bow. Prada offer a tweed vest, but combinations remain traditional: flared pants, shirt and long gloves.
Loafers
In the past four seasons, loafers have completely disappeared from view: they have been pressed by sharp-toed shoes and “platforms”. Nevertheless, the Italian brands, one after another, took up the resuscitation of male-style loafers. The main thing today is an unusual finish of the shoes, whether it be a down or a rubberized sole. However, classical models are also in demand, the main thing is freshness in combinations. For example, Gucci combine loafers and blofers with wide trousers and blouses with bows, flowing dresses, skirts below the knee, trouser suits and even pea jackets. Prada suggest wearing loafers with a feminine dress, Max Mara - with a monochromatic pencil skirt and top or sweater, as well as a tapered dress and a bomber jacket. Bottega Veneta combine tuxedo loafers. But it is worth remembering that although the loafers appeared in the autumn-winter collections of European brands, in Russian conditions they are more suitable for dry and warm weather.
Lurex
Brilliant things with Lurex - running and commercial goods: it is known that the spontaneous buyer often stretches in the store to everything brilliant and bright. Lurex sweaters (attention, pink and gold) are even in the collections of Dries Van Noten, however, he almost never shows them on the runways, but buyers order them. Yes, and the same Missoni Lurex wanders from collection to collection. So the appearance of things "with a spark" on the shows is nothing but a manifestation of the commercialization of modern fashion and postmodernist flirting with "vulgarity." Marco de Vincenzo and Gucci create Lurex dresses (Moschino - in the floor), Bottega Veneta - tops and vests, as well as socks. However, the brands offer to neutralize Lurex things with a contrasting combination with shoes and men's-style things.
Brooches
Decorative brooch is another accessory that has been absent for a long time and returned in the future autumn-winter season. Marni show neat brooch pins that attach to the lapel of a coat or a sleek dress, which means that we can easily enter into the life of any of us. Prada decorates half of the items in the collection with brooches in the form of plastic flowers, clinging them to dresses and lapels of coats, jackets and vests. Gucci do not hold back at all: their baroque brooches with a large scattering of stones and crystals, as well as flowers, are additionally decorated with bows. MSGMs show brooches of geometric shapes and fasten them to vests. By the way, the brooches have already appeared on the shows in Paris, which means that they will definitely become a must-have accessory by the fall.
Ski jackets
This year monochromatic turtlenecks were replaced by ski zipper and turtleneck sweaters in traditionally sporty colors, especially popular, of course, in the 70s. In the history of fashion of the 2010s, Gesquières was the first to show ski jackets, and ever since the most common combination is a ski jacket plus a short trapezoid skirt or narrowed trousers with a high waist. Milan shows offer a couple more ideas on how to wear them: with flared flared pants and ankle boots (like MSGM or Verscace), or to wear Olympic tops with short skirts under a coat.
Long gloves
No elegant outfit of women of the 50s could do without gloves, and now, it seems, even modern ones. Taking a course on traditional femininity and nobility, the brands, one after another, include gloves in their collections. So, MSGM to the short trapezoid dress offer boots and gloves to the elbow. On the Prada and Antonio Marras shows, short and long gloves accompany almost every look. The preference is given to gloves from multi-colored leather: blue, orange, pink, blue.
