Top ten trends for spring/summer 2016
SUIT UP
Ladies, it’s time to get a suit. You can decide whether you want a skirt suit or a pantsuit, or both. Pant suits range from Gucci’s acid green one reminiscent of the 70s and Studio 54 to tailored tuxedos at Givenchy and pajama influenced ones at Dolce & Gabbana. For skirt suits turn to Chanel, which showed prim pretty period looks or to Prada which was all about boxy jackets with skirts.
VINTAGE MAXIMALISM
The trend to love, because come on, where else will you find kaleidoscopic colour, ornate details and a dash of eccentricity. It’s typified by a dress in pink and purple edged with black lace, with dashes of sequins and an flaming orange embroidered parrot that frames the neck and waist (Gucci). Valentino, Dries Van Noten, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, Erdem all did it too. They gave us lamé and brocade, beaded, bejewelled, fringed, heavy metals like gold and silver, and print on print to make this one of the biggest trends this season.
BOLD STRIPES
Spring summer is usually all about the flowers but not this year. This year, the print to own is a big, bold, colourful all-over stripe. Think juicy hues of red, green or yellow. Its avatars range from the nautical at Ralph Lauren Collection to the girly at Chloe or the Eighties print at Ferragamo or Stella McCartney.
