Fall/Winter Streetstyle Trend 2017/2018: Red to Toe

We’ve discussed this trend before (here to be precise). But besides the full on red to toe catwalk looks from the likes of Dolce, Gucci and Chloé red has been THE color on the streets as well. And boy did it make for some awesome streetwear inspiration pics. Just glance through our gallery and see how the streetwear stars rocked their red hot puffer coats, maxi dresses, suits, sweaters and designer bags. Have you already indulged in some fancy red colored winter wear? It’s about time to paint this town red!

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: 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?

Chanel Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear FW2016

Everyone seated at Chanel had a front row seat to witness every single one of the 92 outfits passing by at the Grand Palais Tuesday morning. No iceberg, Supermarket or airport to distract us from the clothing this time around. Back to err..basic, although every guest still had a gold painted chair awaiting them. At least Karl made sure our eyes were all on those bright pink opening looks. A selection of Chanel classic; tweed skirt suits decorated by multiple pearl necklaces. Update though, by touches of denim, riding boots and leather-brimmed boaters. After the pink an array of gray and off white looks appeared, followed by touches of camel, metallic, black and white. Heavy winter wool, leather and a type of multi colored fake fur gave the collection it’s rich touch, as did the gloves, the bags (some attached to the models’ belts – as seen at Prada) and the delicate jewelry. There were coats we could live in and off shoulder party dresses you’d never want to take off. Yet we doubt whether those silly hats will ever really become a thing..

Trend Report FW2016: Eighties Influences

It’s that time again.. The eighties are experiencing another revival, right after the enormous seventies take-over. See how this all works perfectly chronological? So here’s what to expect…

After the earthy seventies color palette it’s time to bring some brights into your wardrobe.

Vests, coats, dresses, high waisted skirts; try to belt as many of your outfits as possible.
Also, wear your pants oversized yet elegantly.

Work some graphic prints into you daily looks.

Give the strong shoulder another try (preferably in sexy suit dresses).

Any excuse to wear some glitz. Throw in sequins and metallics any day of the week.

Furthermore the 2015/2016 interpretation of the eighties is all about; bold (and sometimes totally wrong) color combinations, (patent) leather, leggings, asymmetric earrings, having fun and not giving a damn.

Enjoy it (while it lasts)!

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear FW20914

Dries van Noten not only presented his fall/winter 2014 collection in Paris, he also prepared an exhibition in the Museum des Arts Decoratifs. His fall collection was audacious and practical, making for powerful, chic-with-a-twist viewing. Op Art graphics and color-centric rave-culture inspired the Belgian designer.

One of Van Noten’s great strengths is his ability to control visually intense motifs, any apparent randomness is intentional. His swirls, overlapping triptych circles and broken-striped grids were applied with bravado executed oh-so-carefully. At times, he went for the contrast of the caustic-on-classic. At other times, he opted for full-on visual shock value. Undulating stripes were another interpretation.
Throughout, Van Noten integrated athletic references — jackets and pants with zippers and parachute details that stood in contrast to the collection’s more obviously polished fare. Either way, he kept his proportions ample, right down to the primary accessories: big, 3-D flowers.

Jonathan Christopher Homme Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

Jonathan Christopher Homme likes to experiment with juxtapositions in life: masculine and feminine, light and dark, soft and harsh. All these elements were visible in his FW2014-collection which got rave reviews afterwards.

Kathryn Milan Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

Designer David Turner is behind the classy women’s and men’s line Kathryn Milan, which he launched during the Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam.

Jan Boelo Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

You don’t have to undress to be sexy was Jan Boelos message with his FW2014 collection. And indeed, he didn’t show a lot of skin. There was no need to. His male and female models rocked his autumn designs nonetheless.
