Foulard, the new must-have
Bon ton, ladies!
Spring Collection is proving to be a turning point for the foulard.
Used to its featuring in Haute Couture as an accessory, tied below the chin as in the '60s, or worn in the style of Audrey Hepburn, around the face together with big dark glasses?
Well now the foulard is becoming a younger garment: intertwined onto the collars of shirts as a bow, revived as a belt on skirts and jeans, and showing its trendiest side on dresses and t-shirts with foulard prints in satin and crépon.
The inspiration behind the design is clear: it comes from the Eighties and Nineties, with crests, floral patterns and geometric motifs. Highly colourful and vitamin-rich, chic in the fabrics, but essential in the designs.
Décolletés: a thousand times yes!
We don’t know where to put them anymore, but one thing’s for sure: we really must have that pair. How about we delve a bit more deeply into the marvellous world called “Shoes"?!
We start with boots in January, moving on later to lace-ups, ankle boots and décolletés. By March (or even sooner) though we can’t live without ballerinas, and then it’s the turn of sandals with platforms, and finally beach flip-flops to breath the sea air day in day out.
The first new arrivals of the 2012 Collection are in the shops, and - one step at a time - the time has come to discover them all. Beautiful, sexy and extremely elegant, today we have decided to dwell for a moment on open-toe décolletés. Ready?!
All in yellow (with a few touches of python)!
The common thread running through the outfits of today is yellow.
Cliché-free, it’s the most radiant colour in fashion, bringing verve, optimism and vitality.
Yellow is matched here with neutral colours, snakeskin prints and sportswear-style active details. One big theme for this season focalized by the matching of yellow with neutrals is colour blocking, a glamour feature in the round-necked double fabric dress which is longer at the back on top, and shorter below at the front, and has a contrasting yellow insert. Rounding off the look are the long-sleeved perforated V-neck cardigan and eco-leather clutch bag (look 2).
Gold, the new trend for 2012
Is anyone still capable of resisting the appeal of gold? Certainly not fashion, the first to recognize its seductive power and confirm gold as one of the dominant trends next spring summer.
The status symbol par excellence and standing for elegance and luxury, gold will light up any outfit with its gleaming lustre, imposing its presence on all the categories in the new SS 2012 collection. From jackets to accessories, taking in t-shirts, dresses and trousers on the way.
A tricky colour to wear, it should be avoided as a total look and flaunted with style along with white, red and black, which tone down its strong core in favour of a more ‘rock’ feel, thanks to the use of studded details and slim interlaced chains.
A lot of attention is paid to new fabrics, and to the coated and foil effects which are well represented in the trousers. This includes the jeans with gold coating, the black jeans with leather side strips, the skinnies in a stretch techno fabric, and the point-de-Milan bootlegged pants retracing a best seller from last season in a springtime weight.
Printed SS 2012 collection t-shirts
Curious about what’s new in the SS 2012 collection?
Let’s start with the printed t-shirts. Already a cult in out wardrobe, here they’re re-launched in a new version.
More versatile, more ‘rock’, more shiny.
“Never take yourself too seriously” is what the latest trends in t-shirts are telling us, with their lettering and graphics becoming a genuine device for expressing thoughts, words and emotions in a fun, sarcastic way.
While the t-shirts take on an ironic allure, the right elegance is taken care of by the rest of the look, starting with the trousers, skirts and over garments. A new alternative to the trench coat or the denim jacket is the blazer, which goes nicely with the idea of contemporary outfits that are ample on top and slim down below.
In fact, the shape range extends, with oversizes and asymmetrical cuts gaining ground alongside the super stretch line. Matched with the extra slim black calf-length skirt or the skinny pants with gold coating, they are increasingly the focus of “evening” outfits, as well as daytime wear.
So metropolitan silhouettes give the green light to printed t-shirts together with ballerinas during the day, while sexier outfits take over at night, with woven sandals or two-tone patent décolletés with dizzily high heels.
