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.

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.
