Meanwhile…at Norwegian Constitution Day

Back to your roots is one of the big lifestyle-trends at this moment, and regarding to the young Norwegians our photographer Muriel Schouten spotted during her visit in Norway this trend also considers clothes. Well sort of. The Norwegians celebrate the signing of their constitution in 1814 in their own way: they dress themselves in traditional costumes, young and old, walk in parades carrying banners and playing music. They are proud of their dress and it shows! It’s original and pure, beautiful and real.

And now we know for sure where the likes of John Galliano take their inspiration from.

Streetstyle vs. Catwalk fashion

Each fashion season we all get very much inspired by the collections presented on the catwalk. After New York, London, Milan and Paris we have new creative ideas and we have picked up the trends we will probably be wearing a season later. So there’s no doubt fashion designers create trends or at least a certain style.

Yet it’s also true that a big part of  fashion starts on the street. What people wear in their daily lives is a starting point for fashion too. Whether it’s your grandma walking her dog in a floral printed skirt, your father in one of his suits or your neighbour is a pair of old school jeans. Every kind of streetwear can be the beginning of a fashion trend.

During the fashion weeks our team always spots the most fashionable people outside the fashion shows. They wear clothes not everyone dares to wear. Their streetstyle is often bright-colored, crazy-shaped and remarkably printed. Not to mention their shoes and accessories.

To show you that streetwear can be an inspiration for fashion designers we selected six outfits that were seen in the streets as well as on the runway.

While wearing your boyfriend’s clothes is a big hit this season we saw the masculine look at Lacoste and on the streets. In many fashion shows designers draped their fabrics, which gave their designs a very romantic twist. One of the girls on our streetwear photos showed even jumpsuits and drapery can work well together.Black and white or blue and white stripes belong to the navy trend that’s hot this spring. Dutch designers Spijkers & Spijkers showed this look on the runway, we saw it outside of the shows. And as more and more jumpsuits work their way into today’s streetwear, it was’t hard to find a yellow printed one that matched the Marc Jacobs version.

Anna dello Russo worked a golden dress that could just have walked out of the Gianfranco Ferre show. The lollipop pink she chose for another dress was Lindsay Lohna’s color-choice for Ungaro too. The red leopard print Dolce & Gabbana introduced, was seen on a pair of streetstyle pants. And of course the style of a tweed Chanel suit can always be seen on a chic lady somewhere in the streets.

Streetfashion: celebrate color

Who’s afraid of yellow, purple and red? We’re definitely not.  And so are the people we spotted in the streets of Milan and Paris. Color adds flavor to your outfit and it sure makes  the sun shine on a rainy day. Red is favorite, but also the soft shades Dries van Noten introduced in his 2009 fall-collection.

Streetfashion: harempants

It looks like the days of the legging are (almost) over. Harempants are taking their place. It’s not everybody’s favorite, but depending on your figure it can be a nice summer-item. Mixed with a short jacket and high heels it can be casual and dressed at the same time. We spotted some earlybirds during the fashionweeks in Paris and Milan.
