The big fashion ideas you need to know for the season, from
the latest print to the new silhouette.
The Animal: Birds
Designers used hummingbirds, swans, and pheasants in their
bold creations this season—from abstract, graceful lines to three-dimensional
birds perched on the chest and shoulders.
The Palette: Pastels
Versace to Vuitton, knee-length to floor-length,
designers gave the season a sense of airiness with a range of pastel tones.
The Item: Peplum
From Jason Wu to YSL, the peplum reigned
supreme. Whether worked into a blouse or jacket, the flared design is this
season’s must-have accouterments.
The Detail: Baroque Flourishes
Ornamental designs were all over the
collections this season. Whether found in the fabric or fine embroidery, they
added a touch of the regal.
The Silhouette: Drop Waist
Shapeless flapper-style dresses are trending
this season, with some designers modernizing the 1920s style by drawing the
line just around the hips.
The Print: Digital Imaging
From Akris to Mary Katrantzou, designers
brought our tech-filled lives to the runway this season by using digital
photographs—including a tropical jungle landscape, a spirited bow, and wrapping
paper.
The Fabric: Matte Satin
Elegant and edgy, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, and
Victoria Beckham went beyond 2012 with their sleek, modern designs.
The Inspiration: Abstract Art
Models donned swaths of solid color and
geometric shapes this season. From Barbara Bui’s clean, modern lines to Hermès’
angular couture, the art world’s twentieth-century geometric abstraction
movement made its way to the runways.
