Spring-Summer Fashion Trends

We continue to explore the fashion trends that will be relevant in the coming spring-summer season. This time, our attention was drawn to fashion trend style transparency. This is a mixed fashion trend, we can safely say that this trend is not for everybody, as not everyone is ready to let in their wardrobe see through transparent clothing. However, you should still take a closer look at what fashion designers offer in the upcoming fashion season.

As noted by Tim Blanks, a woman in the Giambattista Valli style can easily borrow some clothes from her boyfriend wardrobe. This, however, does not prevent her to appear in a pencil skirt rather classic style, which resonates with the transparency of the material. By the way, transparency, demonstrate the most feminine model collection Giambattista Valli - in addition to skirts, the trend of the upcoming season is implemented in dresses and tops in organza and lace.

Christopher Kane also repeatedly appealed to this fashion trend of the season in his spring-summer collection, having dressed his models in transparent blouses, skirts and dresses, which, according to Tim Blanks refer to "Psycho" and Hitchcock's "The Shining" Kubrick. The reason for transparent associations is to use rubber finish, designed in the form of a kind of lace. Such Christopher Kane dresses reminded shower caps and shower curtains of the aforementioned films, this, however, does not sound like a criticism, but rather as a compliment in favor of non-standard methods and materials.

Preen has combined in his collection  several trends: transparent blouses and dresses combined with the wide sleeves, reminiscent of a kimono, a variety of prints and block solutions.

Like many other designers, Claire Waite Keller working for Chloé, showed the fashion trend to transparency in feminine attire. Femininity of these images only highlighted by pastel shades, flying silhouettes and airly ruches. But in the Erdem fashion collection  transparency goes hand in hand with the silhouettes of the 1950s, which inspired the Erdem Moralioglu designer brand. Sense of modernity to the collection brings a mix of pastel shades with bright neon colors.

However, not all the fashion brands have opted to show this fashion trend in dresses and skirts. Some, like Valentino, Emilio Pucci and Erdem, brought to the catwalk models in transparent raincoats.

Fashion trend: stripes

Fashion trend: stripes

Striped pattern in clothing is considered to be a classic fashion trend today. Variations on the strip theme  prints seemed to have no boundaries. On fashion runways show and in reports of street style chronicles we can see wide and narrow strip, vertical and horizontal, two-color and multi-colored. The strip fashion trend is found on many different garments, from pants and shirts, finishing coats and cardigans.

There was a time when the strip fashion trend was found only in the clothing of not the most privileged backgrounds, but starting from beginning of 19th century, this fashion trend pattern is beginning to play a much more interesting role, appearing on the national flag of different countries. And in the twentieth century to strip trend begin to enter the bohemians fashion: Pablo Picasso and Jean-Luc Godard used stripes as means of self-expression - clothes with stripes then looked quite bright and unusual.

Now striped fashion trend is no surprise in now days, but it still looks quite effective and able to perform the role of emphasis even in the simplest fashion manner.

Spring fashion trends leather, spikes and torn fishnets—a look back at punk's
wild influence on fashion.

Versace Leather, spikes and torn fishnets of punk trend

WHEN THE SEX PISTOLS BURST ONTO THE SCENE IN 1976, THEIR SPITTING
anarchist anthems were the antithesis of high fashion, lint these (lays, a studded
leather motorcycle jacket is as covet-worthy as a designer bag.

This May. the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York shines the spotlight on thisrebel-
lious movement with its latest Costume Institute exhibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture. In its
early days. British punk rock hands like The Clash forced safety pins through leather while
Pitti Smith, The Ramones and Blondie's Debbie I lam holed 11 pal New York's legendary dive
bar CBGB in tattered T-shirts and ripped jeans as a protest against the city's glitzy disco scene.

Designer Vivienne West wood's punk roots also run deep—in 1976 she cultivated
many of this era's DIY hallmarks at her London boutique, Seditionaries. which she
owned with then-boyfriend, visual artist and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren.

The duos endlessly creative takes on rebellion helped shape the unofficial punk uni-
form, with reappropriated patriotic symbols including Queen Elizabeth IIs face and
the Union Jack. The movement's raw aesthetic gained mainstream appeal in 1977, when
British designer Zandra Rhodes used exposed seams, strategic rips and bondage-like
accents on her floor-length dresses.

Today, the punk fashion trend continues to be a source of inspiration for ready -to-wear designers
like  Jean Paul Gaultier. Comme des Garcons Rei Kawakubo and Givenchys RiccardoTisci.
The once-radical notion of safety pin embellishment has been reinterpreted so many times,
most notably by Gianui Versace in 1994 that it has become a fashion trends mainstay, while holes
and fabric deconstruction are considered a trademarks of contemporary labels like Rodarte.

FRENCH ACCENTS IN FASHION STYLE

HEDI SLIMANE FRENCH ACCENTS IN FASHION STYLE

An unmistakable note of Parisian chic defined the best of spring's collections 

By Avril Mair

Three words sum up S/S 13: style, substance and   seduction. You could   thank Hedi Slimane for that. When the menswear fashion designer was appointed creative director at the house of Yves Saint Laurent, the fashion world anticipated more of his signature minimalism. Instead, he looked back at the labels incredible archives from the 1970s fashion trends - the skinny pants, the tuxedo jackets, the sheer blouses... and then gave it all a decadent rock 'n' roll twist. The critics debated, but the buyers were convinced: these are clothes that women will want to wear.

Hedi Simane wasn't the only designer embracing a certain Parisian glamour this season. You can
also witness it in the work of Raf Simons, whose triumphant Dior ready-to-wear debut saw the house's femininity electrified by a daring new modem ism. The codes are still there, of course - the refined tailoring, the Bar jacket, the full-skirted finale - but with a sleek and disciplined remix. A bell-shaped tux dress worn over shorts, a lean suit accessorised by a blood-red scarftied at the neck: this is not minimalism as such, but these certainly are versatile, desirable and softly feminine clothes.
'The foundation of Dior is a reaction to restrictions,' says Simons. 'I wanted to do that too'.

This pragmatism- accompanied by a considered sensuality- was a theme that echoed throughout the Paris shows. Its no accident that Le Smoking, created by Monsieur Saint Laurent and immortalised by Helmut Newton (which should tell youeverything about its powerful, androgynous allure), was found on the catwalk at Balmain and Lanvin, belted and sharp-shnuldered or Cropped and monochromatic; but always offering a little skin. A similar kind of tux dressing also showed up at Celine and Givenchy, stripped back to the bare bones of desire. Lanvin's Alber Elbaz calls it 'deconstructed classicism', and its spirit saw designers take on other iconic pieces: the pencil skirt, the
pleat-front trousers and the pussy-bow blouse, another YSL standard.

Fashion style

"Suggestion is seduction.' according to Maria Grazia   Chiuri  and   Pierpaolo   Piccioli, whose
Valentino show had the blouse as its centrepiece, contrasting puritanical white collars and cuffs with
a delicious undercurrent of Bellc de Jour kink in sheer chiffon or nude, red and black lingerie-inspired leather. It is this spirit that they bring lo the house - a subtle subversiveness that is key to spring/summer 2013.

Despite the seductive pull of new trends, the strongest wardrobe style story this fashion season is that of timeless shapes reworked with an easy, modern edge. Consider Balmains high-waist evening trousers, unexpectedly but impeccably tailored in black leather and worn with a simple, single-sole heel. Or look at Roland Mouret's little black dress, where white flashes curve round the body in a flattering geometry. There are couture-like pencil skirts at Givenchy, deliriously split up the thigh; and leather-trimmed wool jackets at Chanel, cropped short and sweet. Whoever said you can't improve on a classic surely lied. Just look to Paris for proof of fashion style.
