Trend Report SS2014: Graphic Content

Some seventies, a few fantasy worlds and quite a bunch of technologically produced graphic prints hit the streets the previous editions of fashion week. The print variations seemed endless, the color mostly used blue and shades or purple. Now this trend doesn’t really seem to be for the subtle style lovers; fully dressed in busy prints is the way to go according to our streetstyle heroes. Ralph Lauren, DvF, Edun, BcBg Azria and Zimmerman already showed you how it’s done on the runway. Now you need to go and try this trend for yourself. Go graphic!

Round up Milan Menswear Trends SS2015

The menswear shows of Milan Fashion Week have come to and end. So while the fashion crowd moves on to Pareee we’re taking a quick look at some of the Milan menswear trends. Which – apart from the regular slim suit, the stripes and the checks – was about sensuality (so many torsos at sight at Armani Dsquared, Fendi and Versace) and things less sexy (Teva slippers combined with suits, as seen at Fendi, Prada and Armani). In between: some great denim variations (paint splashed, with leather details, destroyed, bleached), nude and sand colored looks (Calvin Klein, Jil Sander) and a wide selection of new & improved sweatshirts at Bottega, Calvin Klein and Antonio Marras (we just can’t seem to get enough).

Trend Report SS2014: Sunny Side Up

They’re the icing on the cake of a standout look. They’re you’re go to accessory after a short night of sleep. They’re another way of expressing your sense of style (or humor). And they come in such great variations this summer! Mirrored (as seen at Alberta Ferretti), see through (Miu Miu), embellished (Prada), aviator-shaped (Dior) and butterfly-inspired (Fendi, Just Cavalli, Dsquared). The options are innumerable and, in fact, apart from this season’s trends any shape or size is perfectly fashionable as long as it matches your face and complements your outfit. To get you fully inspired for the upcoming hot summer months (or for your holiday destination) we’ve created a BIG inspiration gallery full of head turning sunnies. Sunny side up!

Trend Report SS2014: What The Peep

Forget pumps and sandals with peeptoes (well, not completely), this season is all about the peeptoe (ankle) bootie. Whether laced up, leather, cloglike, fringed, suede, metallic looking, mesh inspired or decorated with fur; there’s no denying this trend and with so much variation there’s probably a version for any fashion lover. Maison Martin Margiela, Gianvitto Rossi, Fendi, Sophia Webster, Rag & Bone, Pierre Hardy and Jimmy Choo have some strong ones in their collections. Now you might be thinking.. What the peep is this shoe trend all about? But after you’ve browsed through our gallery there’s only one thing on top of your wishlist.. Show some toe, have a lovely summer with happy feet!

Trend Report SS2014: Leave Your Hat On

What can we say, a good hat not only makes a perfect outfit, but also a beautiful picture. No wonder so many mad hatters visit fashion week every season. From felt to straw, square shaped, flappy or asymmetrical, from sober to brightly colored; a light weight hat is your go to accessory this summer. Great for that mysterious look, nice little extra SPF and completely on trend. Right Marni, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, DKNY, Acne Studios and Olympia Le-Tan? Our best bet: the white Panama. Hats off for this stylish S/S trend!

Trend Report SS2014: Wild Thing

Oh animal print, we just can’t get enough of you. We might have said everything there is to say. The past few decades we have adored you more than you know of. We’ve ditched you and fallen back in love with you for so many times. And still it’s not yet over. This summer too we’re preparing to rock you like no other trend. We’ll bring the slightly updated version of you back into our closets. Sure leopard, our love, you’re our favorite this time around too. Yet we’re using you as a subtle little extra. On a pair of shoes, a shoulder bag, a silly hat. New variations come in crazy animal prints taking pretty literal. Like on that red baboon dress we shot, or the cock printed coat Mira rocks in one of our pictures. The print possibilities are endless, you’re such a wild thing!

Trend Report SS2014: All Exposed

Baring the midriff; it might seem kinda scary at first, but once you hop on this bandwagon, it’s such fun! Supermodels have been widely embracing this trend for seasons now and slowly but surely the rest of us are following. Just an inch of bare skin is enough to join in on the fun. But if you dare, go and bare it all. Show off those abs, expose! Not too body confident? Work the safer version of this trend; pairing a high waisted skirt with a crop top, that perfectly overlay each other or work with some sheerness for that extra chic effect. Jeans and crop tops make the ultimate nineties attire, while a pencil skirt and matching crop make up for some flawless eveningwear. Just look at how Christine Centenera, Mira Duma and Carine Roitfeld are sporting this trend, that just doesn’t seems to fade.
