fashion futures :60's mermaid
This is what we said in our March 2011 Trend Barometer: Usurping the Seventies as decade du jour, Paco Rabanne pailettes inform the creation of a sparkling, Sixties mermaid. Spanning small scale-like soda stream sequins at Christopher Kane to oversized Perspex plates at Prada to tiered, scalloped satin at Sass and Bide, application to short, sharp shifts, leg skimming onesies and low-v neck sheaths echo the flighty, feminine forms of Rabanne’s heyday. Ariel invoked, undulating gel-filled pouches and candy tones of soft cerise, blush pink and ice blue tip the mythical mermaid into current culture.
fashion futures :india jones
This is what we said in our March 2011 Trend Barometer: Building upon the hint of Wild Wild Western, pioneer spirit hinted at with Balenciaga’s collar-tipped tomboy for spring 2011, runways and editorial reinterpret a roughed-up adventurer spirit with luxe supple skins, plush furs and Indiana Jones millinery. Hardy masculinity made feminine, boxy leather jackets and crisp shirting are peppered with folkloric floral appliqué, retro inserts and strikes of diagonal stripe. Navajo influenced bolo ties are trimmed with native, turquoise decoration whilst Gucci’s chocolate brown leather tube dress teamed with full fur stoles and coordinating trim fedora further pitches a worldly buccaneer into ultra-elegant, India rather than Indiana.
fashion futures :formal abaya sport
This is what we said in our March 2010 Trend Barometer: An athletic alternative to Abaya Chic, Formal Abaya Sport captures the season’s balance of evening and sport, East and West as seen at Alexander Wang. Taking fluid, Arabic lines as the central tenet, elegant formalwear blazers nestle against extreme drop-crotch joggers, multi-pleat pants against broad-shouldered outerwear and prison-stripe t-shirts. Inky, crepuscular blacks highlight shifts in proportion and silhouette with oversized hooded jumpsuits in lightweight wools and drop-waisted sweatshirts come cocktail dresses embodying a timely alignment of continent, form and function.
fashion futures :little house on the prairie
This is what we said in our March 2010 Trend Barometer: The realization of Fall 2010-11’s Good Life Forecast, and the evolution of Marc Jacobs’ farm femme, Rodarte’s Fall 2011-12 paean to the sweeping American plains represents an embrace of autonomous, Little House on the Prairie Living. Delicate doily lace, cheer flyaway chiffons and hand-wrought beading tackling rural shaker silhouettes with a soft, romantic hand whilst floor-length prairie coats, exaggerated petticoat silhouettes, weighty wools and flocculent furs arm the country girl for creeping winter winds and agrarian demands. Barely there make-up and tousled locks augment a breathe-easy break from the demands of urban living.
fashion futures :regal opulence
We said this in our August 2010 barometer: Decadent Baroque sensibilities inform not only collections, including Givenchy Couture Fall 2010 and McQueen Fall Winter 2010, but also surroundings. Gilded frames, luxurious gold leaf and oversized chandeliers provide a suitably glamorous backdrop for presentation, look to Rococo ornamentation and The Enchanted Palace, at Kensington Palace for first-hand inspiration.
