Trend Report SS2018: Eighties by day

Another eighties revival in fashion means shoulders once again are the focus point in many summer silhouettes. If it’s up to Gucci, Saint Laurent and Off White big, rounded shoulders are a ‘thing’ again. Preferably combined with something leg revealing (Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant) or high waisted and high heeled (Y project, Off white). An eighties color(black) palette of mint greens and purples is in order as well. Now let’s see if you still got those eighties dance moves to match!

Fall/Winter Catwalk Trend 2017/2018: Skirt + (oversized) Sweater

Nothing says cosy autumn outfit more than a good skirt paired with an oversized sweater. Just ask the creatives at Victoria Beckham, Balenciaga and Dior. A combination so effortless you’d wanna throw it on every single day. Paired with boots, trainers or even a pair of shiny loafers. Skirts can be pleated, layered or tulle as long as those XL woolen/cashmere sweaters are super chunky. Long sleeves, high (turtle) necks. Oh and primary colors seem to be a theme here. So will your look be bright and yellow (MSMG), midnight blue (Dior) or red on (a different) red (Victoria Beckham). Just keep it classy and extremely cosy!

Fall/Winter Catwalk Trend 2017/2018: Victorian Collars

So we already spoke of maxi dresses and XL sleeves. Now it’s time to take a closer look at the other essential part of the ‘prairy chic look’; the Victorian collar. This trend was already initiated in summer 2016, but is now taking over fall/winter 2017/2018. And we couldn’t think of a more winter proof statement maker. Spot this trend at Erdem, Christophe Lemaire, John Galliano and, of course, Valentino, the house that has been promoting the chicest long, cover up dresses for seasons now. A warm color palette, floral prints, ruffled touches as well as lace details (to add a little sensuality/femininity) work beautifully with this style. When it comes to beauty warm autumn shades of make-up and a sophisticated updo (so that collar extravaganza gets all the attention it deserves) are the ultimate extras to add to this look. Little house on the praire gone fashion.

Fall/Winter Catwalk Trend 2017/2018: Let’s Paint This Town Red

Are you ready to paint your town red? Love it or hate it; bright red is THE color of the new season. And if this is your color, you’re in for a treat, cause for f/w you’re allowed to go all out! That means red shoes, red pants, red tops, red coats. A definite ton sur ton look that will make you hard to miss in a crowd. From all major brands (Dolce, Gucci, Chloé) supporting this color of the season Fendi picked it up in the biggest fashion of all. And Kendall’s Fendi look might just be the leading look in this lady in red trend. So are you prepared to look red hot in the designer pieces from the new collections?

 

Summer Catwalk Trend 2017: Tiny Bags

Apart from Balenciaga’s big, bigger, biggest bags tiny bags are always a theme during summertime. Ss2017 was no exception. Yet as tiny as they come, those mini bags in the brightest colors, hanging from chunky chains decorated by fur (furry friends as seen at Fendi), pins, studs and shiny hardware, are absolute jaw droppers. The type of bags that can make a plain black look turn into an on trend statement maker. Highly photogenic, extra Instagram reach guaranteed. Plus, you can pair them with other tiny bags (so you can still carry around the shitload on make-up you think you’re gonna be needing for the day) as seen at Dolce & Gabbana. At Louis Vuitton large phone covers had the looks of small bags. And of course there this season’s hip bag/belt bag trend (spotted at Jil Sander and a little more exaggerated at Marni). The award for the tiniest bags out there goes to Valentino’s bags, which don’t even fit a credit card. But hey, they sure look sophisticated and might be the ultimate necklaces to hold some cash money on your summer night out.

Summer Streetwear Trend 2017: Pink Life

Pink walls, pink plates, pink velvet couches, pink cars, pink skies, pink hair, pink outfits. Slowly but surely we’re turning everything around us in one giant pink bubble. And really, who wouldn’t love a daily dose of pink? The guys and girls we spotted this summer, during Amsterdam Fashion Week and the menswear shows in Paris sure knew how to pull off the color du moment. Some wore just a touch of faded pink, others went all out with vibrant magenta hues from head to toe. And that girl with the leopard printed pink hair was just everything and perfectly symbolizes what this summer trend stands for. Pink for president. #pinklife

Summer Streetwear Trend 2017: (rain)bow down

Get your make-up pencils in order ’cause color on the eyes is a ‘thing’ again. A revival of a eighties make-up trend! Bright colored eye make-up was all over the national and international runways. From rainbow stripes to crafty eyeliner lines on, above and next to the eyes; a good eye shadow palette seems a necessity this season. Just click through our gallery of backstage beauty images of Haider Ackermann, Martin Margiela, MaxMara and No21 and you know what’s up. Time to get arty on the eyes. Rainbow down b*tches!

SS2017 Trend: Smooth & Shiny

A little sparkle goes a long way, so make sure you stack up on some shiny pieces for SS2017. Add a little disco to your #ootd. Opt for metallic (Haider Ackermann, Balmain), choose for sequins (Kenzo, Gucci, Marc Jacobs) or wow in crystal beads (Proenze Schouler). Taking the trend a little further you can of course add some shimmer in the shape of jewelry (Kenzo) and make-up too (eyes and nails deserve some extra spark too). Oh and of course then there are Gucci’s crystal encrusted glasses. What ever you do, don’t hold back. Shine on and, for everyone who’s looking; make it worth their while.

SS2017 Trend: (Patent) Pink Party

When Valentino red turn pink you know something’s up. Bright pink is becoming the #1 color for this summer. And we can not think of a reason not to join this pink party. From Balenciaga to Vetements; the most fashion forward looks in bright pink are making headlights on the streets, in the fashion magazines and, of course, on Instagram. And might you think bright pink is daring enough, think again. Bright patent pink (as seen at Bottega Veneta) is even a better option. Not to mention the satin pink spotted at Ralph Lauren. And let’s not forget the red/pink combination both Sportmax and Valentino introduced. The in between shade of raspberry red spotted at Kenzo, Hermes and Michael Kors might be your best bet. The ultimate summer shade that works beautifully combined with mint green (just look at one of the Céline runway looks). Show some color, give them something to talk about and make it a (sweet) summer to remember!

SS2017 Trend: Underwear = Outerwear (again)

Why don’t you.. turn your outfit inside out? Wearing your underwear as outerwear is (once again) the coolest game changer. Wear your bras and bralettes over  your blouses and dresses and you’re right on trend. Or rather, leave the house in nothing more than a sheer body, a transparent slipdress or a triangle bra (midriff on display). Probably the easiest way to make a statement this summer. At least, that’s how Victoria Beckham, Céline, Alberta Ferretti and Alexander Wang feel about it. Not to mention Dries van Noten, Miu Miu and Giambattista Valli’s version of this daring trend. So, are you ready to show some skin or even #freethatnipple? Oeh la la.. lingerie!
