And so it seems the fashion crowd has a new favorite bag this season. It’s big, it’s quilted and basically looks as soft as a pillow. It’s the Glam Slam by Maison Margiela. Now ofcourse the fact that all these streetstyle stars were carrying the new branded it bag on the same day out on the streets of Paris could mean it’s all just a partnership between brand and influencers. Yet, seeing our favorite style icons like Erika Boldrin and Tiffany Hsu with their Glam Slam bags sure makes ‘m look highly desirable. Smart move, good marketing and simply a stunning statement bag.

Roomy & slouchy; that’s how we like our pleated pants these days. Sophisticated and chic yet with an absolute sex appeal. In any color of choice, from lilac and baby pink to tangerine and emerald. High waisted with a perfect little kitten heel underneath. Paired with an oversized blazer and a waist belt. Sunnies on, it bag under one arm, hands in the pockets and off you go. To work, to party or both.

Catwalk Trend Spring/Summer 2019: Short shorts & long sleeves

Not a lot of rules apply in fashion these days. There’s not a print mix, color clash or gender blending ensemble that doesn’t fit in with the current style image. Yet certain things just work like peanut butter and jelly. One example? The fact that short shorts just work so damn good with long sleeved tops. It makes the hottest hot pants look luxurious. The most destroyed denim shorts become classy. It all comes down, of course, to not showing too much skin. And if you’re already showing off below, better keep it modest on the top. Alberta Ferretti, Celine and Louis Vuitton know all it about. A hoodie, a bomber, a Victoria blouse, an embroidered body or a futuristic jacket on top? Legs for days below. Now you try this out!

Catwalk Trend Spring/Summer 2019: High Summer One Shoulder

And all of a sudden it was summer in our country. We remember having a white Easter, but this weekend it felt like just like a weekend in June. So we pulled our short skirts, cropped tops and sandals out of our closets. Straw hats, funky sunnies and small summer bags to match. Even though we were still in the process of getting our summer body, it was time to show some skin. Legs, abs or, as is the case with this trend, shoulders. Cause if we leave it up to the larger part of the designers it’s one shoulder tops and dresses next season. Bright colored, printed or ruffled. High time to turn your cold shoulder (just before temperatures drop again).

Catwalk Trend Spring/Summer 2019: Head Wrap

From a simple silk scarf to layers of tule; wearing a head wrap is the chicest thing this summer. Just ask Dolce, Etro, Tom Ford, Gucci, MaxMara, Versace Rick Owens and the rest of the long list of designer labels who joined in on this trend (Marc Jacobs and Rodarte turning things up a notch). It creates a super sophisticated look, although it’s actually the most effortless summer look to turn to. Gone are your worries of bad hair days, plus you’ve got your hair protected from damaging UV light. Simply add a big pair of sunnies and some statement earrings and you’re ready to hop from the beach to the bar. No need to wrap things up. You’ll be the last one standing at any summer party.

Catwalk Trend Spring/Summer 2019: Tie Dye

Dior, Prada and Stella McCartney all predicted it; the comeback of the tie dye print. And not just on surfer girl Tees, but on denim jeans, boiler suits and airy dresses. Kaleidoscopic colors too, especially at Dior, that turn this hippie inspired print into a delicate one. Who knew tie dye would ever look this chic, right?!

Balmain Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

From dark and grungy to lightweight and pastel colored; Balmain fw2019 was filled with contradictions. “She’s got attitude; she is a troublemaker, and she doesn’t care. She’s defiant, but she is a paradox: She can be sweet and romantic too; she can be an angel . . . or she can be a devil. She cannot be categorized”, said Olivier Rousteing. Well there you go. The first looks were covered in spikes and studs. Yes that’s the dresses, skirts, leather jackets, shoes AND bags. Halfway throughout the collection they made way for a much more delicate image. Like flower embellishments, white fur and bleached boyfriend jeans. Shoulders were strong as ever as the super short A-line skirts couldn’t have been more pronunciated. The finale was dark, dramatic and 3D with floor sweeping capes, architectonic patent leather and bare shoulders, bellies and see through tops. A collection filled with bold statements. We’re curious to see which of them will make it out on the streets (or red carpets).

Missoni Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2019

Most labels are focusing on their roots and heritage these days and today’s Missoni show was no exception. The knitwear brand once and for all proved what their most famous for (which is creating outstanding knitwear pieces), by producing a collection in which every single piece was knit. From the suits, the dresses, the cardigans and the polo shirts to the coats and the pants. Yes even the hats and the waist bands. The collection had a rather nomadic feel, hence the striped ponchos. Head wraps for the girls, Fes hats for the guys. Lots of color, lot of comfort. And who wouldn’t want to cosy up in layers of Missoni?

Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show London FW2019

Burberry started off young and vibrant. With cool kids wearing polo shirts, rugby shirts, leather jackets, colourful checks and V-neck tops. The girls wore their hair in a tight bum, but had the coolest artwork of small little hairs on their foreheads. Halfway through the show Sara Eirud turned up in an enormous puffer coat. What a way to shake and wake things up! A few asymmetric patchwork dresses and corseted tops in the mix and then on came the trenchcoats. The second – and better – half of the show was filled with the chicest looks; perfect posh cocktail dresses, skirt suits, capes and trenchcoats with the iconic check as a lining (the classic coat everyone would love hanging in their closets). Not to mention the picture perfect men’s tailoring. So eventually Riccardo Tisci pleased everyone. Fashion forward statement makers at the beginning and signature success numbers (that will generate most of the label’s income) towards the end.
