FASHIONCLASH Festival 2014, this was day 1

The sixth edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival kicked off yesterday, with performances, shows and clashes between art and fashion. This was day one, front- and backstage.

Trend Report SS2014: Colorless

There are those fashion lovers that stick to black their entire life. And there are fully white attire fanatics around just as well. But for everyone else the good old black & white is the safest go to color combination. No they might not even be called colors, but the styling options they provide are never ending nonetheless. Just take a look at our streetstyle gallery and tell us there’s not a look you’d love to wear yourself. Well? Isn’t the black and white trend a all time favorite that is just for everyone. You might not like prints, you could be totally against wearing dresses, perhaps high heels are you’re worst enemy, but the monochrome look you can’t resist. Work it with a little sixties vibe this season and look at fashion luminaries Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham, Rodarte and Celine for inspiration.

Trend Report SS2014: Stripe Hype

Like floral prints and monochrome looks the stripe trend has been around for quite a few seasons now. From pin to jumbo stripes+ we´ve seen all kinds of variations pop up on A-line skirts, strapless dresses and partly striped pieces. Yet the most popular striped look probably is the most classic as well; a simple blue and white sweater paired with some jeans of pleated trousers. Very French, very chic! Oh and what did you think of the endless amount of striped accessories we spotted. From striped and quilted Chanel bags to almost cartoonlike shoulder bags. As you can read between the lines we´ve got a feeling this trend is just not over yet.

Trend Report SS2014: Grande Entrée

More than your shoes, your (it-)bag and your hair this season the statement making is really done by your coat. The styles are outspoken; boldly printed, bright colored or architecturally shaped and always carelessly tossed around the body these summer coats are bound to have you make a grande entrée. Our favorite one, shot in the streets of Paris is the yellow/greenish version, effortlessly paired with a chic tweed ensemble, showing some leg for the perfect proportions. A great coat goes a long way…

Trend Report SS2014: Name Dropping

While Selfridges introduced a whole range of de-branded food products the world of fashion is holding a serious game of name dropping. Large fashion houses (Kenzo, DKNY, Acne and Dior) as well high street names are screaming for attention by placing words and logos in all the right places. Not the owner of a luxury logo? A touch of humor in the form of brand-like prints such as “Celfie” and “Homies” has proven to go a long way. Classic sport brands Nike and Adidas are experiencing a huge logo revival and, of course Chanel’s CC (perhaps printed on a backpack) is your best asset in this name dropping business.
