What will be fashionable in six months: 10 trends from Paris
We summarize the results, past in the framework of the Fashion Week in Paris. In this material - 10 trends from the show, which we will adapt to your wardrobe throughout this year. However, no one bothers to do it right now.
Collections of pre-fall led by Stella McCartney made it clear to us that the leopard print will inevitably return. But if the triumph of this pattern in the Givenchy collection could still be expected, then the sudden love for the leopard from Dries Van Noten and the leopard bags and Louis Vuitton backpacks were a surprise for everyone. With regard to this trend, everything has already been said many times: wear it neatly and so on. But if, on the contrary, you decide to dress in a “leopard” from head to toe, it can also turn out to be very curious - just make sure that it looks like a deliberate departure to kitsch, and not belated nostalgia for zero with direct quotation.
Everything is simple: a denim jacket with a denim shirt and jeans - this simple and familiar technique is in business again. Say, like Miu Miu: a raincoat on the floor and a skirt on the floor - all made of denim. Or like at H & M Studio: in the version of the Swedish mass-market-brand denim suit does not look so extravagant, but also very cool. The most delicate look at the problem was suggested by Stella McCartney: she made a very feminine midi dress with lacing, similar to a very long jeans shirt. Here, all the cards in your hands: you can alter the old "levysa", mix denim layers or just tuck the denim shirt into jeans - the possibilities are endless.
And again: asymmetrical jewelery, to which we barely had time to get used to it, moved under the onslaught of the tendency “from a pair of earrings, put one on”. The Isabel Marant is a lonely ball on a chain, the Mugler has silver pendants in a slightly ethnic spirit, the Anthony Vaccarello has a cocktail earring from a cascade of crystals to the shoulders, and the Sonia Rykiel has a really gigantic pin with trinkets. In general, buy any pair in half with a girlfriend or boyfriend - and experiment.
I do not want to abuse the glossy turnovers about the "royal combinations", but it was the first thoughts that aristocratic people came to mind when the designers offered to wear the dress below the knees with high boots. Such kits require a confident feeling of proportions, but if you guess with them, it turns out really luxurious. Underlined fashionable this combination made Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga: there is a dress of architectural cut, and boots - catchy. But we especially like the serene Valentino and Hermès kits: modulations of milky shades and smooth materials.
Designer exaggerated jackets, presented in Paris, were so good that they are able to rehabilitate this type of winter clothing even in the eyes of the most notorious skeptics. A beautiful down jacket can replace both a coat and a fur coat. Look, for example, at the lavender version with stitching, like a sweatshirt from the Carven show, at the cosmically beautiful velvet blown coat of the night sky Stella McCartney or at the sculpted down jackets with open shoulders at Acne Studios and, of course, Balenciaga. The most impressive, in our opinion, things come from the young London brand Chen Peng - both in terms of colors and in terms of cut. Let's hope that the democratic brands also offer us something out of the ordinary (last winter, Topshop Unique had good options).
Previously, there was such a thing as “evening coat”, which is no longer popular with former popularity. But it perfectly describes the type of cloak, which more than once and not two flashed on the Parisian catwalks: by analogy with an evening dress, this is such a thing that you can’t even call it “ordinary” with a stretch. A dazzling golden leather Lanvin trench coat, velvety Vetements overcoat in aged gilding, or a blood red lacquer variation on the Mac theme from the Isabel Marant collection - it’s impossible to choose something too catchy or overdo it. Therefore, if you see a coat, the effectiveness of which can compete with the power of the most elegant dress, - buy. From time to time, such things are done by Zara and H & M, so we will wait.
Sportswear, which is in everyday wardrobe at all, continues to evolve. Next autumn, it will become more minimalist and more unusual, that is, sportswear will gradually move away from the well-trodden field of sneakers. At Louis Vuitton and Courrèges appeared overalls, similar to the shape of biathletes, tracksuits Vetements are threatening to become classics and replace pantsuits in general, and for Carven, Alexis Martial and Adrien Cayaddo, who have long and thoughtfully reflected on the subject of sports, came up with minimalist sports jumpers. It may be worth looking for interesting things not only in the areas for fitness and running at fashion brands, but also in more exotic outfit stores - say, for fencing or motor sports.
Velvet, smooth or monogram-embroidered satin and obligatory inlaid brooches - it turned out that it was the decorated shoes that were missing in a pair of down-padded coats and sports dresses. The most crazy version - at Miu Miu: shoes from the collection, inspired by the fabrics of the XVII century, so atmospheric, that unless they do not squat in a curtsy. A more winter and less decorative solution was proposed by Dries van Notein: his gold-embroidered ankle boots with metal details and a stingray leather heel are a real New Year's shoe. And Demna Gvasalia made satin pumps with a massive three-dimensional application of silver sequins - obviously, the future commercial hit (almost the same, only Manolo Blahnik, married Bella Swan in Twilight). In general, any satin pumps turn into Victorian ones, if you add a brooch to them (better - several, and large ones).
The fact that the fashion industry in recent years, sorts out ideas in a circle, and the stylists have won the designers, they say almost everything, and not without reason. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that creative directors are looking for new, fresh forms, unusual look. Such experiments are one of the pillars of fashion since the creation of the world, but now they look like the works of deconstructivist architects: as if they took a thing, cut it and sewed it anew. It turned out deliberately crooked, but interesting.
Here Simon Port Jacquesus feels like a fish in water, who inspiredly prepares shirts and suits, stitching them together in no particular order for the first season. Immediately after him - Demna Gvasalia, who showed his first collection for Balenciaga: hoops for the main fashion sculptor of the twentieth century, Cristobal Balenciaga, mixed in it with the techniques of modern architecture, and wittily. It is logical that in the trend and Vetements, the small homeland of Demny, built on deconstruction techniques from the very beginning.
If the skeptical eye catches in previous examples hints at graduation collections of yesterday's graduates of fashion colleges, then he can rest on Céline: Phoebe Faylo prefers not to sew the third sleeve on his back, but to play with silhouette and proportions more elegantly. Her search for new forms is a shifted waist, exaggerated shoulders, flowing hypersize and cropped wide trousers. Very beautiful.
An alternative for those who are tired of their marsh-colored fur coats (also, by the way, very fashionable in the semi-annual term). Pay attention to the smooth fur of this type, which is often found in vintage stores - natural colors are emphasized and the texture is rude from time to time, and fox colors have more fluffy fur coats. If the natural fur contradicts your beliefs, then you will have to look for the colors imitating the natural color of wild animals: this will not be easy, because artificial fur coats often paint either too lightly or too evenly. Focus on the search for a Louis Vuitton fur jacket, a Miu Miu long coat or a Balenciaga fur coat. A serious plus is that a natural-colored fur coat is absolutely unpretentious in the sense of combinations: at least to the theater with a dress and boats, even for a walk in the forest with boots and a warm hat.
