Sketch by Beatrice Brandini

Phillip Lim A/I 2013-14

The sales are now archived. Now you think about what we wear next season. Which will be the most anspire or dreamed garments and accessories, which trends is more representative for the next Fall/Winter.

I have identified the strongest ones, and select the outfits that I personally have seemed the most beautiful, elegant and easy to wear. Underline the source and low cost  “revisiting”. Finally one  sketch for every mood, such as personal interpretation.

The macro trends are:

GENTILE BON TON, geometry, bias, polka dots and flowers, but also very black and white (a “refuge” in the fifty, a trend that wants to be positive and romantic, in a historical moment that just has very little romantic).

MIX 80, a trend influenced by the music, the main color is the electric blue and a mix of patterns (see retrospective “David Bowie is” to Victoria and Albert Museum in London).

FETISH GOTHIC BLACK, black total (evergreen!), with cuts and materials (especially leather) that underline the body (see exhibition in Rome of Helmut Newton, see the worldwide success of “50 shades of gray”).

NEW GRUNGE a real mix and match with large volumes, Tartan, triumph of knitwear  with handmade  aspect (reflection of the new social problems, as had happened in the late 80’s, incredibly “rediscovered” by Dior or Vuitton, two of the most sophisticated and historical brands of the world).

I believe that fashion, with its beautiful proposals, however, is always the true witness and photograph of the time. The trends just mentioned are not random, with an accurate look  you’ll understand more deeply what it want to say.
