What will be fashionable in six months: New trends from Paris
Summing up shows held in the framework of the Fashion Week in Paris. We already wrote about trends from Milan, New York and London for the following year: bra-tops, khaki and aquamarine, colored leather and suede, T-shirt dresses, knitted items, asymmetry, bows, white tuxedos, transparent things, cuts from the hip , terry cloth, bermudas and culottes, appliques and embroidery, A-silhouette dresses, tight pants — all of this also appeared on most Parisian shows. In this material, we continue to talk about what will be fashionable in six months, and show another 9 trends from the show, which we will soon adapt to our wardrobe. However, no one bothers to do it right now.
Gold
Designers continue the trend, which began a year ago, and show things and accessories in gold. On the one hand, this is a trick in the direction of commerce, because the main consumers of luxury goods are lured to luxury - and demonstrative luxury = gold. On the other hand, there is sexuality in gold in the new season. Eddie Sliman on the wave of new sexuality acts in the forehead and shows mini-dresses of golden color with transparent black stockings. The option is dangerous, but at night, why not. Yohji Yamamoto create gold bulky coats and accessories, Barbara Bui - gold tops and pointy shoes. Rochas work with copper and gold, which is royally combined with taffeta and socks, boats. It is worth remembering that the gold color is evening, and it should be worn very carefully, mixing it with something everyday and simple. You can restrict yourself to gold accessories: flat shoes, a clutch bag, a wide belt or golden tights, as in the Chanel show.
Denim
We have already talked about the process of simplifying fashion, which in English is called casualisation and has been happening for the last ten years. Jeans and sneakers have long gone beyond the casual style and have become things for all occasions, displacing many wardrobe items. Following the sneakers, their version of which in 2014 was released by half of luxury brands, in the new season the brands are actively starting to create their own versions of jeans. Stella McCartney shows denim jumpsuits, tops, bermudas, and trapezoid skirts; Christophe Lemaire - concise denim straight silhouette; Damir Doma - Pajama Denim; Saint Laurent - Denim miniskirts; Chloé and Stella McCartney - denim overalls; Louis Vuitton - flared jeans; Valentino - trousers with pockets and tops from denim. Kenzo sews from denim prohibitively wide flared trousers, dimensionless jackets and skirts below the knee.
Bicycles
We recently wrote about how a post-fitness image came into fashion and why the line between ready to wear and activewear is erased. It is already clear that in the new season, après sport style will manifest itself in all its diversity. So, besides sports bra-tops and knee-length boxing shorts (remember the shows of Christian Dior and Viktor & Rolf), there are bicycles on the catwalks everywhere. Prada worked with this theme back in 2009. Today, Manish Arora combines them with a sweatshirt, skirt, visor and sandals on the platform. Paco Rabanne stylize them with a coat. Saint Laurent and Acne do show black leather bikes. So far this may seem wild to many, however, in reality it is a reflection of the spirit of the times and an unofficial stylistic device, if, of course, it is used carefully. In addition to sports leggings, the brands show cyclists' glasses in the new season. These are in Balenciaga and Kenzo. Obviously, online shopping Net-A-Porter, Luisa Via Roma, Shopbob, Barneys, VFILES will be something to fill their sections of activewear next year.
Jumpsuits
In the autumn of this year, Raf Simons included overalls into the Dior's couture collection, thus enlivening the shows of High Fashion Week, which consisted, as a rule, of dresses for princesses. This case is another example of the manifestation of modern wearability and fashion simplification. Already now it is obvious that in half a year overalls will be everywhere: from Dior and Céline to Stella McCartney and Kenzo. We advise you to pay attention to the extremely concise model of free cut and wear them with slippers or other shoes on a flat course.
Wide pants
Shows in Paris are almost equally divided designers on those who show very wide trousers, and those who work with a narrow cut. Obviously, this is a sign of democracy and the abandonment of fashionable dictatorship: what kind of pants do you want, wear such clothes, and for several seasons clients of fashion houses have become accustomed to a more intelligent and original look (if they can wear funny culottes) and will not give up their free pants. Lanefeld for Chanel shows wide tweed trousers paired with tweed elongated jackets. Stella McCartney creates wide trousers of pure colors: white, sand. Jacquemus show snow-white wide trousers and combine them with bra-tops or t-shirts and sneakers. What is really there, even Valentino can find a pair of wide and cropped trousers.
Light scarves
Silk scarves today are worn a little, especially in Russia - they have long been considered an attribute of the not very fashionable "ladies'" style. However, six months ago, Miuccia Prada tied thin silk scarves to the models at the 2014 fall collection show and began. Six months later, we see the same reception on many Paul & Joe shows, which combine silk scarves with trouser suits, to Saint Laurent and Acne - they also decorate necks with thin scarves.
Cutouts
We have already written about the fact that many brands in the new season create skirts with a deep slit, opening the hips. Cutouts - another bell about the upcoming sexual spring-summer season. Except for skirts in Paris shows - dominance of jackets with deep cuts, dresses with cuts on the sides. In addition, designers put geometric cuts on the hem of clothes, like Stella McCartney, Céline - on the sides, and also make small cuts on outerwear, other brands, like Kenzo, with laser cutting completely cover all clothes and accessories with cutouts. Jonathan Anderson in the Loewe debut collection shows tops with cut-outs on his stomach. The cutouts are just a reminder that in six months time will come to show the body. From all sides.
Flowers
Like gold, flower motifs gradually made their way to our wardrobes to appear in a new form in the new season. Flowers were in London, in Milan and, most of all, in Paris. For example, a podium on the Alexander McQueen show was decorated with a giant white orchid, around which girls walked, entirely covered with flowers. Asian floral prints and voluminous applications were painted on Alexander McQueen dresses. Other houses also work with flowers. So, Rei Kawakubo decorates things with bloody red roses. Chanel is decorated with textured flowers with simple shirt-dresses and elongated tops, Manish Arora is decorated with voluminous roses from Indian illustrations, Iris van Herpen with black flowers. Alescandro Del Aqua shows floral embroidery on transparent objects in the Rochas collection. Miu Miu works with jacquard, Raf Simons puts on things a print with subtle colors, Céline - floral retro print on dresses with a smell, Viktor & Rolf in the new season use a fabric that resembles a colorful tablecloth.
Technological fabrics
Cool tech fabrics and materials are the future of fashion. In addition, they guarantee protection from counterfeiting and copying by the mass market, which such technologies are not good for yet. Advanced materials allow designers to experiment more and return to the suite the original meaning of owning unique things. In the new season, Issey Miyake works with three-dimensional corrugations, creating textured and movable balloon dresses, shirts, jackets, skirts. Iris van Herpen collaborates with the architect and continues to work with 3D printing and silicone, creating textured things or dresses like ice. At one glance at these things, you understand: fashion as art does not give up its positions yet.
