Trend #9 - Back to the Future/Colour Pop

Back to the Future/Colour Pop

Bags and shoes carry a sense of futuristic style with odd and unlikely shapes used in heels and handles and metallic and bright colours being a main colour trend. Revolutionary new fabrics are being used to create a modern feel and mix-and-match geometric shapes are the key feature of designs.

You can't go through the season without mentioning colour popping. Bright, vibrant colours and block patterns - unmissable this season.

Trend #4 - Architectural

Architectural

Companies are working on new material contrasts to unite practicality, style and comfort all in one fabric. The minimalistic look inspired by a new breed of architecture is being brought to women’s wear with clean lines, light colour palettes and a very obvious presence of white. White exaggerates not only natural fibres but also colour contrasts and the femininity of the body. The way in which we shop is changing; we are forced to reconsider the norm, meaning our tastes are being re-evaluated. On one hand we have the asymmetrical look but on the other, mathematical symmetry and simple geometric shapes are also apparent. The basic shapes are being dramatised by blending shiny and matte fabrics to give a sense of luxury. The illusion of plastic materials are evident. Metallic and multi-filament yarns add more of a futuristic yet practical feel to opulent and architectural styles. The pops of deep primary colours which blend into delicate pastels are key.
