Trend Report FW2013: Go Grunge

Thanks to fashion houses like Versace, Saint Laurent Paris and Givenchy we’re experiencing a major Punk & Grunge comeback in fashion. A trip back to the nineties when a careless look was all everyone wanted. Go rough with black leather motor jackets, fashion pieces that are torn apart and bring back the spikes. A black and red color palette is your best punk chic option and remember this look is viagra no rx not complete without a tartan shirt (best tied around the waist). As “long hair don’t care” seems to be the guys’ motto, it’s the girls’ hair that is getting much shorter (and either white/grey-ish or deep black). Touches of femininity are added through floral prints, sheer fabrics and sexy cut-outs. It’s going to be one of the most interesting trends this fall and besides lovers there sure will be haters, but we have a feeling the modern punk/grunge designers in our image gallery don’t really care…

Trend Report SS2013: Opposites Attract

This season it’s all about material mixing. Of course we were already wearing shear tops with heavy skirts. Yet this time around single fashion pieces exist of a mix of fabrics. After seeing leather accents such as collars, cuffs and pockets for a few seasons it’s all about transparency this summer. Think cotton tops with sheer silky parts, satin skirts with transparent hemlines or dresses with see through mid riffs. Not cut-outs but body parts just subtly covered by a fine layer, adding some seductiveness to the look. While Viktor & Rolf created a clash with their metallic fabric, Paul Smith showed some contrast by using lace, Jason Wu opted for leather and Dolce & Gabbana blew everyone away with their use of cork. Other labels such as Blumarine, Céline, Gucci, Stella McCartney, Chloé and Chanel showed multiple variations of sheerness, sexy, tough and sportive. Looking seductive was never this chic.

As part of the Japonism trend wrap tops are popping up everywhere. Asymmetric, sheer, printed, silky or linen; the possibilities are endless. At Etro the ladies were wrapped up in floral printed tops that literally breathed the far east. Dries van Noten gave his versions a unique twist by making them sheer, by choosing gorgeous nature inspired prints and by mixing them up with his tartan hit-print. At Prada and Pucci the tops were shiny and silky, as Prada’s creations seemed only vaguely inspired by the original wrap designs. As it appeared even a regular blouse can get the same wrap treatment by tying it together with a Eastern inspired obi belt. And after going through all these images we suddenly feel the urge to start putting a belt on top of every outfit, ’cause it looks so damn cute. It’s a wrap everybody!

Trend Report SS2013: Shimmer & Shine

Burberry, Dior, Comme des Garcons, Diane von Furstenberg, Jonathan Saunders, Viktor & Rolf; all major fashion houses that presented shiny summer collection. From gold and silver to colorful metallic and nacre coatings; it was all shimmer and shine on this season’s runways. Of course those floor length V&R and Dior skirts are not really suited for your average day at the office. But most designers managed to make metallics look very suitable for wearing on any given day.

Trend Report SS2013: Structured Volume

They might look rather futuristic at first sight, yet structured looks are conquering the catwalks. Sweaters, skirts, jackets; they’re all getting lots of volume. Around the collar, in the shoulders, around the waist and near the hemline. Unfortunately not a very wearable look for everyone, but we spotted countless petite fashion week visitors pulling off this trend. On the streets we mostly spotted those Balenciaga space sweaters. Next year, though, it will be a whole different story. As the new ruffled/structured Balenciaga, the strong shouldered Balmain and the voluminous Burberry collections hit the streets. Those tiny editor/blogger figures will be fully covered by blow up designs, with only two slim legs appearing from underneath it giving away their tiny frames. Streetstyle photogs will have their hands full capturing all structured styles and the front row will be even more packed now that outfits take up so many extra space. Welcome to the future.
