hi everyone it's justine and it's that
time of the year again
twice a year i do a curated review of
the fashion trends coming for the season
this time will feel a bit different the
fashion that you're gonna see now
has been presented shown back in january
february
that's how the traditional fashion
calendar works the clothes are always
shown
way ahead of the season they're created
for
back in january february the world
didn't quite know yet what was coming so
you will see runway photos
with people tightly seated together in
first rows
indoors that's because the shows took
place pre-covered
and yet the fashion that you're gonna
see feels
surprisingly relevant right now without
spoiling it before i even start the
video
let's look at the trend boards that i
created with silhouettes
fabrics colors everything i will guide
you through all of that and by the time
this video gets published
the boards will be available to download
on my blog
first one historical shapes a wind of
past centuries is blowing especially in
the area of the neckline and the sleeves
the fabric is draped dramatically to
create volumes
there are elements here and there that
you might have already seen
in fashion museums by the way if it's
the first one of my trend videos that
you're watching today
know that i always start by showing the
more extreme
examples so to speak and then i show you
more wearable options so you always get
the whole range
of what's possible within one trend if
you're looking for historical
inspiration in fashion
mcqueen is always a good house to look
at because it's their aesthetics
this year they went for an exaggeration
of the human proportions
very big puffy soldiers the gathering at
the shorter seam on the red dress is
characteristic of a lego mutton
sleeve style second photo white
shoulders as well versus a tiny
waist corsets are a classic feature at
mcqueen
at fendi you see a variation of a lego
mutant sleeve
and that massive rough and cold frese in
french
which is reminiscent of king henry iv in
france or the tudor family in england
on the right we see a red belted coat
worn over a lace collar
and with a black sealed bow here i think
three musketeers for sure
obvious references to monarchies longing
for times
that feel less turbulent than the
present time
because they're over looking towards the
past
always feels reassuring and we tend to
idealize what no longer is
now let's see more wearable options
building
up on that same trend at chloe it's a
long virginal
white and flowy gown covering the chest
completely
with lacy and transparent detailing this
could have been a nightgown in the 17th
century
maybe elisabeth made a more
business-like blouse again with the lego
mutton sleeve style
dramatic ruffles but then paired with
21st century trousers and accessories
givenchy and max mara experimented with
volumes on outerwear pieces
it's a refreshing change from all the
minimalist shapes that we are seeing
nowadays
overall this trend plays between huge
volumes and corsetry
lots of blacks and whites which is not
reflected enough
on those two boards but i run out of
space and then textures are essential
from a lightweight cotton poplin to a
heavyweight car
next trend natural color palettes with
the clear dominance of earthy tones
when looking for stability and
reassurance which is what we are doing
at the moment
there are two directions in which we can
go either we look towards the past
which i've just mentioned or we kind of
go back to nature
so this second trend about nature is in
fact not contradicting the previous one
they work together if you want earthy
color palettes look no further than
hermes for inspiration
they are the masters of this kind of
warm beige to brown tones
perfect example here on the left though
i think the model is cool toned so the
warm tone clothes
make her look a little bit pale but okay
you get the idea
an easy way to integrate earthy use into
your wardrobe can be through
patterns chloe is showing an argyle
turtle neck harmoniously paired with
plain pens
quite the 70s silhouette in the end dior
puts the plate pattern
on woven pants i believe this is wool
and roshan
combined a lightweight woven blouse with
a thicker
pattern over layer in a darker hue
so you see three different ways of doing
it through pattern
todds is another alternative you stick
to plain solid muted colors but you mix
different hues
also very harmonious to the eye michael
kors
upper right corner this is the classic
forest green version
works well with many other colors which
makes sense for an outerwear piece
because if possible you want your
outerwear to be combinable
with all your wardrobe notice that the
tops tend to be fitted while the pants
are more flowy boxy sometimes even
oversized
is this the beginning of the end of
skinny pants
who knows regardless i think that's an
absolutely wobble trend do you agree
let's move on to pragmatic functionality
this is more than just taking design
elements or inspiration from workwear
and sticking that into high fashion
garments in impossible fabrics it's
genuinely
asking yourself how can we design
clothes that work in daily life
it should be pragmatic and functional
which is my goal as well when i design
the looks are comfortable and made out
of just a few pieces
turds overalls with cargo pockets plus
boots
done stella mccartney this is a drape
coat
with a perforated pattern can you see it
up close
you don't necessarily wear that on your
way to the gym
and yet it's extremely comfortable it
has proper pockets it covers the body
as outerwear should bottega veneta
worked with zippers the color
on the cape can be zipped up or not if
you want more space
and you also see zippers on the sides
like for ski jackets
this is halfway between normal outerwear
and active wear
looking at chadel now chanel under carl
lagerfeld wasn't exactly a minimalist
label
right and now i see this little shirt
and i think oh
chanel is venturing into the territory
of jill sander
who is the epitome of a minimalist
designer
with the boots of the passing boots very
wearable heels
think durability sustainability clothes
that can multitask
technical fabrics taken from activewear
and used in ready to wear
more examples tb almost monochromatic
the color
doubles as an airplane pillow this black
handbag by off-white
carries your bluetooth speaker it has
the shape of it
these dior shoes are actually winter
proof
and i wanted to show you the louis
vuitton look because
it really illustrates that inspiration
from activewear
adapted for ready to wear as far as
shapes fabrics and design details are
concerned
there have been years when winter
fashion did not
look like it was actually created for
winter
i think these years are over and
honestly it's good news
then luxurious loungewear this is
another trend that
is surprisingly relevant knowing that
it has been created in january clothes
that are perfect to work from home and
still look good in a video conference
sounds ideal and it's even more
comfortable than what i've shown so far
we're talking midi length like at
victoria became endure
or full length like a rochas and jusunda
or even full length n a-line
like at chloe and stella mccartney you
can absolutely sleep in these dresses
and then get up and start a zoom meeting
no problem the fabrics are silk cotton
maybe a thin velvet
anything that breeze mainly solid colors
anything from a youthful crewneck
mccartney
to a more sexy halter top rochas but
always and above all
comfortable i think this works for all
body types no matter which parts of your
body you like which parts you dislike
we'll see a ton of options in stores
this winter
and i think it's a healthy trend by
healthy i mean
garments that work with you not against
you you do not need to have a
particularly body type or size
to wear that overall we're seeing more
dresses and skirts
less pants the skirts are longer midi or
maxi
and the pants are wider less prints more
plain hues and then when you're wearing
one solid color throughout
what becomes interesting is then the
material and the texture
of the surface that's why we see more
and more 3d
complex types of knits and more varied
fabrics in general
at this point you could say justin the
trends that you've shown
are only the reflection of what you need
right now after everything that has
happened
since january you might be right but
this is still
what trend research is about you look at
a whole range of designs from everywhere
in the world
and at the end of the process you wonder
okay what sticked
and what would i want to wear out of all
that
and when i do it i also try to find the
contradicting trend
to my hypothesis if that makes sense to
check
if what i see as a trend still holds
true
what you see on the boards in this video
is the end result
so to speak so it's um it's objective
in its subjectivity thumbs up
if this video brought you some
inspiration and or
distraction thank you very much for your
support if you wish to look at the
boards
in bigger i put them in the blog posts
on my website and i put the link
to the blog post in the video
description there's one more thing
that we need to address before we end
this video have you noticed
that we have crossed the 800 000
subscriber milestone on this channel
thank you if you subscribe thank you if
you talk about this channel to other
people around you
thank you for sharing my videos
throughout all other social media
800 000 is a huge number and when i
started youtube i didn't think
it could grow that big
it proves that the clothes that we wear
why
how they're made is important
and we all need clothes so we might as
well
learn about them and enjoy the process
that's how i see it at least in the
coming months i will have more time for
youtube so
expect more videos from me on this
channel and click on that bell
icon thing to turn on your notifications
and
be notified when i upload a new video
i'll see you very soon in a new one and
until then
you can also find me on instagram take
care
