What will be fashionable in six months: 10 trends from London
SUMMING UP, held in the framework of London Fashion Week. 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.
It seems that the trend for the hyper-dimensions can not go anywhere in the next season. At the London Fashion Week, huge down jackets did not occur, but the rest of the wardrobe came under the trend. Voluminous outfits resembled the fashion of various eras - for example, Simone Rocha presented voluminous coats from as far back as 40s, army-style tightened with a belt. Lush and deliberately large dresses also featured Molly Goddard, Ryan Lo and Mulberry. Outerwear oversized - a real salvation for multi-layered images in the cold season. Particular attention is advised designers to pay overlays-raincoats. In the fall, they can be worn unbuttoned - this is how they will look most effective with light dresses and wide trousers.
The trend towards transparency can hardly be called new, but this season there were more translucent clothes than ever. Lace, gas, weightless silk - lightweight materials flashed on almost every show during London Fashion Week. Simone Rocha and David Koma showed how lacy things can be worn over other clothes like covers. Erdem, Molly Goddard, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Joseph found this same use for transparent models, layering them on light or denser dresses, as well as suits made from trousers and long sleeves. To avoid cold, combine transparent dresses with massive outerwear, such as a sheepskin coat, like in Christopher Kane.
In inclement weather, wide trousers may not be the most practical, but in warm or cold weather - a universal wardrobe item. They go well with shirts, turtlenecks and coats. Joseph complemented such pants with a voluminous sweater. For the office, suitable pairs of ordinary cotton fabric, and for walks or evening exits should pay attention to the model of natural wool, like a Chalayan. Wide pants also featured Ports 1961, Eudon Choi, Casely-Hayford, Margaret Howell and many others. Along with skin-tight skinny, which also come back, palazzo trousers are a potential hit for the next season.
Fur traditionally appears on every fashion week dedicated to the autumn-winter season. Next, designers are advised to pay close attention to the fluffy long fur of a sheep, from which a fur coat, collar, scarf or sleeves of a coat can be made. Bright shades especially in honor. If you are in favor of conscious consumption, buy a fur coat, either in a vintage store or faux fur.
Feathers - a decorative element that always attracts attention and adds a wow effect to any outfit. This season, designers are proving that a small amount of them may be appropriate even on office clothes. For example, if you have sleeves or pockets trimmed with feathers - in such cases the thing may look quite ordinary, no associations with a mad nightlife. For inspirational images - to Mary Katrantzou, Julien Macdonald and J.W.Anderson.
For the next cold winter, it is good to look after quilted coats, which you can wrap in, like a blanket. It seems that for greater comfort, the designers decided to specifically make them out of bright fabrics with a small print (for example, in a flower like the Mulberry). You can combine such coats with simple things like skinny jeans and with satin culottes, short dresses and long boots. The quilted coat doesn’t have to look cozy - at David Koma it looks elegant and strict, as if made of wool. Quilted items also featured Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Peter Pilotto.
Pastel shades are more common in the spring-summer collections, but this time the designers suggested wearing dusty colors in the cold season. In addition to the usual sand, pale pink and blue in the London week, things of a non-trivial lavender color were most common. Designers used it mainly for dresses, for example, as in House of Holland, Roland Mouret and Erdem. Le Kilt showed a lavender skirt, and Mulberry and Marques'Almeida showed luxurious coats. Like any pastel tone, it requires a special relationship: it should be carefully combined with traditionally delicate elements like lace, flounces or bows, and even better is to balance it with basic things.
There are no more restrictions - the more textures, the better. The rule of not combining more than three in one image seems hopelessly outdated. For inspiration, you can use the J.W.Anderson show: the designer used both feathers, metallized fabric, leather and satin in one image. Are you afraid to look too bright? Choose at least two, but completely different textures. Ports 1961 combined in a dress with a sequin and cotton. Christopher Kane also used sequins, but in combination with a semi-transparent lightweight fabric.
If you are tired of raincoats and coats, in the fall you can pay attention to the Cape. They are combined with trousers and jeans (especially flared), as well as dresses and maxi skirts. As a shoe, it is better to bet on a platform or a massive heel - as was shown in London week. Capes made of wool, raincoats, with zippers and buttons will warm in cool weather, from satin - they will serve as a decorative wardrobe item, as Osman has shown, you can go to the theater, museum and any evening event. Other examples can be found at Mulberry, Anya Hindmarch, Halayan, Pringle of Scotland.
Massive earrings remain relevant even during the confident onset of minimalism and the course for a "new comfort". Designers combine them with fur coats, voluminous sweaters, knit dresses and much more. Osman offered to wear earrings in only one ear. Christopher Kane combines cosmic dresses with long straight earrings that resemble metal plates. Peter Pilotto created earrings in the form of huge transparent beetles, which due to their color will look good with romantic clothes and everyday things.
