When it comes to color:
Desert colors which are very much like camel in terms of saturation and tone, but the hue is totally different (pretty much like chanel khaki nail polishes)
Tangerine was everywhere:
Variations of magenta and cyan were featured in many collections, some of them went all the way CMYK wise:
Other trends not related to color:
- Flowers stitched/embroidered over transparencies
- Very direct references to orthopedics in shoes and certain corsets and neck pieces
- V necks layered over round necks or collars / deep V necks
- Bandages (they feel very much like leeloo from the 5th element)
- plastic harnesses
- Knitted ropes over the clothes or in accessories
- Transparencies but not in a flowy dreamy way, more in a very stiff almost plastic like ascetic way
- straight lines layered one on top of the other (in skirts made of square panels, layered skirts, layered tops, etc)
- schyzophrenic prints that are huge, bold and all over the place like in Michael Angel
- A collar shirt that is not wide on the shoulders but that leave the whole shoulder area bare... I am pretty sure there is probably a word for that kind of shirt but it certainly escapes me.
Overall I think the mood has shifted from the romantic princess of the woods kind of vibe to a more clinical, precise and even cold atmosphere.
