This Mood Board was a long time coming. I have in my head an image of a girl who loves school, but not any restrictions, or expectations that go along with it. She loves to be different. She’s into pop culture, anime, and in-your-face rebellious rhetoric. I’d dress her in sheer fabric tops, thick knitted sweaters, pleated skirts, sheer thigh-high’s with holes, and anime/logo button pins. The cherry on the cake; worn converse. Not worn to the point of no return, but stressed just right. I like Liv Tylers makeup in this board. She ties it all in.
This Fall/Winter, don’t get caught up in dressing for the weather. I’ve seen more and more people slowly drift away from the old methods of fashion. For example; discounting any kind of sheer or light weight clothing made with ultra-thin fabrics for the colder season. As you can see, people are still wearing sheer garments, skirts, shorts, and any other popular summer clothing. Throw on a heavy coat over any summer look and keep things moving. The reason for this is due to more people investing in quality pieces and not necessarily acquiring fast fashion. I’ve also noticed that finished hems are becoming a thing of the past too. Furs are popular BUT fake ones are preferred. Faux furs are inexpensive and cruelty free. There’s something very stress free about the fashion styles of 2017 and I totally vibe with it.
This collection hit a home run for me! Let’s start with the models; what a variety! They really showed how versatile the pieces are, and how they can fit any body type. The fabric textures, colors, and patterns were definitely summer. I got nostalgic watching the show, and not due to the classic silhouettes featured. No, this collection followed the trend reports to a T. The metallic dresses with peekaboo sleeves are sexy and curve friendly. I’d wear almost all the pieces featured. I wasn’t too crazy over the blouses with the emphasized shoulders, but I bet if placed with the right vintage denim, it would be very editorial worthy. This collection and the models represented great fashion for summer 2018.
p.s: And whoever that was in the front row… right on! LOL
A popular fashion trend hitting the market lately is EMBROIDERY. Whether it be on the sleeve or strategically placed in areas where patches are featured; Floral Embroidery is all the rage. Place them on the bust, collars, or just about anywhere else they’ll fit. Sewn and patched embroidery ads personality to any look! The floral patches are dainty and ultra-feminine with a vintage touch. Animal patches are also making a big debut. When styling items with patches, don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. Remember, embroidery and/or patches are simply embellished details that highlight the overall look. I love to get extreme with it; very very heavy or simplistic and chic. It depends on the mood of the shoot or how edgy.
