hi everyone it's Justine and it's time for the trend video of the season i do this twice per year
once in fall and once in spring it's a curated review of everything that has been shown on the
runways what to remember why and how to make these fancy design looks were bore in real life
normally this video comes in february sorry for those of you who know it and have been waiting for
it i was busy working on the restock of my jewelry collection this is now done big check and i will
have more time to make videos again the fashion for this season was prepared a few months ago
so in the middle of the pandemic as we didn't know yet how to solve it or how long it would
last i think that state of mind is clearly visible in the collections in my opinion
where the designers infuse their own personal aesthetics and visions a lot more than usual
not just the clothes themselves but also the way the clothes were presented may it be outside
of the runway outdoors through a photo lookbook through a video performance many different formats
among all that variety i see three main design directions and several trends within each one
first a pragmatic and very understandable search for extreme comfort clothes that are good for the
work from home lifestyle long flowy configurations that make the entire outfit on the left
you see a classic take by chanel with the halter neck and the jabu collar a more romantic version
with lego mountain sleeves a more boho chic very chic version with the beautiful fabric by dior
a sportswear version by riton this reminds of streetwear street style
because the basis is a t-shirt and because the color palette is very contemporary
and yet there's a lot of draping and pleating in this design last but not least on the right
side an arty version by issemi yaki i really like this one what do all these have in common
no cleavage is shown you could wear any of these for zomko and look fabulous you
could also wear them on the couch and be super comfy and minimal natural footwear
throughout it's about the dress not the shoes if dresses are not your thing and you prefer pants
this is the year even though it's summer and not winter where full length trousers and a bit wider
are finally replacing skinny crop pants if your tall and crop pants are even more cropped on you
like it's my case this is our year flared for san loren and gucci then ritton presented the shape
which i've seen across many brands very large on the thighs and then cinched at the waist level
it includes pleats all around the waist and can be worn under a hip-long top extra long like at chloe
or it can be a combination of different fabrics chanel cropped the pants but completed the length
with the drape organza i believe in fact most brands showed very high waisted pants at the
level of their natural waist or even higher and in fabrics ranging from mid to very lightweight
perfect for summer super comfortable now on to the epitome of the comfortable garment the sweatshirt
zipped and striped it's a sporty look see on the left side max mara made theirs oversized
and with elevated sleeves as a design detail mcqueen made voluminous sleeves
that fit their overall aesthetics and yet manages to embrace this season's trend i love that shape
and when mcqueen known for their corsets start making sweatshirts it's a sign of changing
times vrito made a wide one almost like a poncho rodate which is a dreamy romantic brand anyway
mixed baseball stripes with lace and with a very feminine flower pattern the one in the
bottom right corner i wanted to show you because it's a gel sander design it's not technically a
sweater anymore but it still looks very casual and with a beautifully draped element the times when
all sweaters look the same are i think officially over now we're going to get many more options and
i'm very happy with that evolution because it reflects real lives of real people and
i always say with these fabrics you can do a lot more than what brands currently do overall
for that design direction that tends towards extreme comfort and the search of pragmatism
designers have chosen fabrics and cuts that are easier to combine with your existing wardrobe
easier to wash less patterns more solid colors so it's a lot more simple streamlined and wearable
now we're switching gears completely and we're going to be looking at trends which might actually
be the opposite of the boards that i've shown so far some designers have been dreaming of the world
going back to normal of being able to have dressed up parties again or simply to escape to a dreamy
fairy tale world or at least that's how i understand where this trend comes from and so
we're seeing 21st century princesses a full-length embroidered dress at dior a punk princess at
mcqueen note that the corset is here the combat boots are here it's a mcqueen look after all but
the tool is baby pink and gathered into the kind of volume that little girls typically dream of
lava draped the silk into beautiful sleeves with a gathered color reminiscent of 18th century
undergarments rodate combined tulle silk lace and embroidered details the fairy tale got pushed even
further into covered shoulders and capes there is something very powerful about women who wear capes
lava made shoulder coverings that are almost liquid right that embrace the exact shape of
the shoulders it's very sensual valentino made the cape a part of the garment itself in a fabric so
light and flowy that it flies as she moves can you see around her feet this is venus walking on water
and then burberry or erdem took their modern day fairy tale warriors to the enchanted forest and
magic creatures could be coming out from behind a bush anytime i'm getting a little bit carried away
but i understand how from a design perspective when you've been wearing your pj seven days in
a row around the house you can you need some fantasy this is not necessarily the kind of
garment that we need right now but they look great this leads me to the third big design direction of
the season showing a little bit of skin as to suggest the intimacy of a homely setting
first the key item of the season elevated bralettes they're not really tops but they're not
bras either so i'm not sure how to call them very short cropped much higher than the belly button
at hermes the look is a bundle worn under a suit which adds some belly coverage and skin coverage
overall a jaw it's worn under a luxurious matching rope isabelle maron styled the voluminous bralette
with the color matching pair of suspenders jacques mousse exaggerates the sleeve volume even more and
pairs it with a fitted pencil skirt big sleeves as in fairy tale sleeves right from the previous
board because sometimes trends do overlap he also presented a version with a classic shirting collar
and sort of ropes criss-crossing around the waist overall you see these tops are cropped pretty high
but the bottom garment that it is paired with is usually also very high waisted so that it's
not your entire belly showing it's really just a strip of skin which corresponds to your upper abs
would you wear that and if so how would you style it i must say when you're in
a zoom call nobody sees more than this anyway and it is extremely comfortable isn't it our
next trend is about texture you could call it a mesh as in the dress van norton design on the
blue sky it can be laser-cut as valentino did it with the chic and sleek white dress
where the bottom part has the cutouts on the black outfit next to it also by valentino it's
even layered so the skirt has that mesh kind of look and it's layered under a mesh looking sweater
which is textured as well it's texture on texture but monochromatic the two designs on the left are
layered over a neutral and opaque basis yet quite revealing of the model's silhouette
but without showing any skin the red dress on the right side isn't technically a mesh
but it's composed of those little red spades which are linked by little metal rings
again building the same kind of pattern and effect notice that all these designs are in solid
classic colors the texture itself is in focus here rather than being openly exposed the skin here is
only visible through those little spaces and holes it is suggested thumbs up if you enjoyed
