Backstage Fashion Trend FW2018: Prints & Patterns

We’ve been talking seventies styles earlier this week. Remember the seventies inspired color palette and streetwear looks we selected? Well besides the color palette, the silhouette and the accessories (chunky boots, XL sunnies, waist belts) there’s another 70s ingredient you can not miss: it’s the prints and patterns that belong to that decade. And we couldn’t help but spot some of those retro prints backstage at the FW2018 fashion shows. Checks at Emporio Armani, Prada and Fendi. Heavy striped at Marni. And graphic patterns at Stella McCartney and Rochas. Statement, sometimes dazzling prints. All in a palette of warm autumn shades (and a touch of vibrant orange).

Streetwear Trend FW2018: White Boots

Who knew a good white boot could ever beet the biker boot trend we’ve been seeing for years. Well, that just happened. For the second fall season in a row white boots are all the rage. And though you might need a second to really get the look, they work with just about any autumn outfit. Velvet red pants, a fringed skirt, a lilac dress, bare legs and a short skirt, an oversized trench, a snake printed coat and lots of pink and ruffles. Seventies shades, bright colors or a pretty pastel party; the white boot blends in with any style. Pin heels or chunky heels, cowboy style, lace up or knife boot inspired; these white boots are made for walking.

Streetstyle Trend FW2018: Space Sunnies

Nothing makes a statement look more than a pair of outer space sunnies. As it seems small, sharp and often colored sunglasses are the new eyewear trend. The cherry on the cake of a silver colored look or a FW2018 Prada fit. A touch of retro and some space vibes. Like you’ve just stepped out of 2030. Come rain come shine, the really turn any look into a showstopper. Sunny side up! The future is now.

Streetwear Trend FW2018: Seventies Inspired

Large sunglasses, flared pants, waist belts, floral prints, long silhouettes and a palette to match; the seventies trend is all over our streetstyle images and we’re loving it! Ochre yellow, burgundy red, olive green, salmon pink and just about any shade of chocolate will make up for a perfect autumn colored look. So are you ready for some free spirited fashion or have you jumped onto the eighties bandwagon already? In any case, we’ve selected some of our favorite seventies inspired streetwear looks to inspire you for any upcoming fall event.

Beauty Trend FW2018: Making Waves

 

If there’s one fall/winter hairstyle you simple have to try it’s waves. Not curls really, but subtle, smooth wavy hair. The perfect effortless way to make it look like you really did put a lot of effort into your hairstyle. Whether you’re going for a walk with your dog or getting ready for a night into town. Try a central parting as seen at Isabel Marant, opt for clumpy curls as Paco Rabone demonstrated or go for long, healthy waves like the models at Missoni. Whether you use an iron tool or let your natural curls dry, remember ‘effortless’ is key when it comes to this beauty trend.

Streetwear Trend FW2018: Checking Out

Probably the biggest trend for the new season: checks! Whether tartan, plaid or tweed; with a statement check you’ll look on point and on trend. Checks on your trenchcoat, checks on a pair of pants, checks a midi skirt or checks on a scarf. Pick your favorite item to rock this trend or mix ’em all up for a checks-on-checks look. Very British and in line with Burberry’s renewed focus on their iconic check print. Are you checking in or checking out of this trend? Checks please!

Couture Trend: Out of the Box

Now here’s a trend you can hardly use as inspiration for your day to day outfits. Although, the true message these designers are bringing across is to think big. When it comes to couture shows there’s no limit to size, shape or color of the designs. And a lot of the creations are exaggerated on all parts. So it was bright colored candy pink at Armani, Giambattista Valli and Schiapparelli. 3D silhouettes at Viktor & Rolf, Alexis Mabille and Iris van Herpen. Fairytale like designs with a big showstopping factor. Out of the box dream dresses we can hardly see being fit into a one. What you can learn from this trend? Use your imagination, even in your daywear dressing. Dream a little and dare to express yourself.

Beauty Trend FW2018: Meet Me in the Middle

It’s clean, it’s simple, it’s chic. Wearing your hair down with a parting in the middle is probably the most effortless look we’ve seen for fall. Middle of the road, but in a good way. Victoria Beckham, Fendi, Stella McCartney and Versace all opted for this hairstyle, making their models look sophisticated without trying too hard. Wear it down or in a little low bum (Parisian chic), don’t use a lot of product and work this hair trend like Gigi and Kaia did at Versace. Meet you in the middle!

Womenswear Trend FW2018: Dress Up Game

Like you came from your grandmother’s attic dressed up in all of her most outspoken pieces. That’s the look many big brands were going for on their runway shows. Bright colors, exaggerated silhouettes, statement making and most of all dressed up! And of course a runway is clearly very different from what what we actually wear on the streets. Yet you can certainly take notes from these fashion houses. A little extra accessorizing never hurt nobody. So instead of wearing just the big sunnies, just add a funky head wrap and wear a chunky backpack. If Marni says it’s a thing, you’ll look cool & collected and are sure to make some heads turn on your way to work.

Streetwear Trend: Snake Alert

Sure, you might have picked up a snake skin bag or belt on your holiday in Bali. But if you’re really into this fall trend you’re gonna need much more than that. After we’ve lived in leopard for quite a few seasons the animalistic trend is now moving onto snakes. Full on snake print looks, that is. Inspired by the snake print runway looks at Bottega Veneta, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fendi, Cavalli and Gucci. Preferably in earthy tones, but some bright yellow might work too occasionally. All snake printed errthing, from the dress to the coat, the bag and the boots! Snake might just be the new neutral
