So heres my first post! Trends to start watching and trends to start walking for 2010...
Pay close attention to…
Embellished: Burbury Prorsum, Givenchy and Lanvin have it down. Team ornate crystal tops with skinny pants or layer embellished clothing with piles of crystal jewels. A plain tee also looks amazing with a heavy metallic encrusted neckpiece.
Digital Prints: With the recent passing of one Alexander the Great, it only seems right to announce him. Alexander McQueen’s reptilian prints are gloriously graphic with loads of colour, the work of a genius. Vibrant prints work best on simple clean cut shapes; look for simple shift and sleek tops. Keep hair and makeup minimal, and be brave! Mix it up, there are no rules.
Bright Whites: Calvin Klein and Stella McCartney have shown that crisp whites can be spring/summers ultimate palette cleanser using a more tailored look for their 2010 collections while Fendi and Sass and Bide show pure brilliance and soft silhouettes. Layer sheer whites for a more subtle look and add neutral tones for accessories.
Athletic: Sport gets sexy, intense colour-ways and eye-catching panelling; you’ll want to adopt this look for summer. Cover-up with a luxurious hoodie in a silk or cashmere, complete the look with canvas athletic style shoes. Check out Balenciaga, Josh Goot, BCBG Max Azria and Alexander Wang’s recent collection they know what they talking about.
Sheer: One of spring/summer 2010 prettiest most romantic trends is the sheer peek-a-boo pieces. Flowing chiffons and superfine knits combine a perfect way to pull of the look. Make sure you layer chiffons and organza’s to avoid a real see-through look, invest in nude slips and make sure skin is buffed and super soft. Have a look at Ralph Laurens translucent layers of white not to forget the brilliance of Narciso Rodriguez.
Pastels: Sweet like ice cream palettes and coll citrus tones give floaty layers a sexy edge. Christopher Kane is clever and great inspiration for this trend, also check out Valentino and Louise Goldin for a beautiful manipulation of fabrics and shapes. Wear this trend with a boyish belt or tough heels, stick to modern and simple.
Underwear: Lingerie inspired super feminine styles with lace corsetry using satins and pretty lace detailing, Underwear worn as outwear has finally become acceptable. Pair retro corsets with cardigans and tailored pants, or incorporate small detail like a lace slip peaking out from under a skirt hem. Make sure you look at this season runway shows from Bottega Veneta, and Preen for a classier take on this hot trend.
Military/Khaki/Utility: Recent collections from Jean Paul Gualtier and Marc Jacobs, show a fun take on this trend, using khaki neutrals with elegant tailored styling. Balmain is a favourite of mine giving Utility a rock-star edge with embellished shoulders and distressed detailing. This trend can be glamorous simply add embellishments and try using the uniform look for evening with military jackets in softer fabrics.
Future Warrior: Focusing on the ancient world as its focus and centre of the trend, looking at Ancient Egypt and Rome, this trend is hard not to like. Modernise historical elements with futuristic twists such as Metal Plating, Tunics, Chain detailing and tribal inspired motifs. Mix ultra feminine with tough warrior eg: soft flowing fabrics with sharp metal or studded finishes. Most importantly wear this trend with confidence, be creative and wear with conviction!
Start to rethink… Fringed clothing, Asymmetrical lines, Grecian braiding, Fairytale Romance, The Bandage dress, Fur, Retro denim, the knee high gladiator sandal, retro jumpsuits and fake tan!
