On the runway we have seen a come back of the Embellishment trend as well as clashing patterns, prints and textures.
Prada is no stranger to juxtaposing styles, this season mixing Hawaiin prints with tweed and sailors hats with punk boots. There was no shortage of accessories with the use of corsets, industrial style jewelry and the return of Miuccia's beloved patterned tights and socks. The collection felt 40's inspired with hair and makeup to match.
Once again Mary Katrantzou brought us clashing prints and architectural shapes. The style was a mix between western Americana detailing and granny style pieces such as overcoats, midi skirts and head scarves. This was given a youthful twist with bright colours and nature inspired details such as leopard print as well as butterfly, flame and flower applique.
Gucci kept the granny/nerdy chic theme going with ruffles, loafers and big glasses but creative director, Alessandro Michele, brought interjections of more modern themes such as street elements of graffiti, sports socks and jackets, combined with a youthful Bohemia twist of turtle necks and maxi dresses. The collection involved numerous prints and colours, using fabrics such as; leather, silk, wool, sequins and velvet with oriental and Spanish influences. With the combination of themes, fabrics and styling, the image of the brand was brought to a more modern and exciting place than we have seen previously, with the collection being dynamic yet somehow cohesive.
McQueen explored the state between being awake and dreaming with florals, butterflies, fantasy creatures, sacred hearts and feathers. The collection brought a vintage, dark romantic experience with sheer maxi dresses, leather, lace and chains. We saw lace dresses with leather corsets and structured jackets with feather and tulle skirts. Applique of fauna and flora decorated leather and lace while hair was decorated with everything from jeweled hair pins, broaches and chains.
