Autumn Winter sees a return to the modern silhouette, as we look forward for inspiration instead of reinventing a past trend. In this new confident mood the new direction has its importance in shape rather than superfluous details. The trend is for grown up dressed chic with clean minimal lines. The new look has its roots based on functionality, unstructured layers and a sense of rusticity in line with the consumers concern for natural living and environmental ideology.
The mood for minimalism is given an updated feel with hi tech aesthetic and no fuss lines which mirrors out desires for a more tailored and dressed up approach to dressing.
The colour palette is winter based and we see a palette of dark colours offset with metallic accents with an autumn jewel toned red. Key colours for coats are monochrome in black and white.
Fabrics are based on nature use fake fur types to contrast against the rustic look. Keep the modern element by introducing glossy wet look patent. Combine tweed with cashmere for texture and luxe.
Shapes are clean and minimal; the silhouette is updated with bell sleeves and wider collars.
Trends are influenced by mood tap into the symbolic statement that designers are making by understanding what they are trying to capture, relate this to your own experience of the times that you are living in and apply your own creativity and thoughts to why your outer style is ready to make a statement that is in line with the universe and the context of the times in which we live.
Each decade of fashion is an interpretation and snapshot of the era in which we live, therefore to be fluid with your surroundings and interpret a trend you need to form a basis for which you as individual see yourself aligned.
