Do designers not care about seasons anymore?

[mcQueen]

This season most designers from every city have seemed to disregard climate in their seasonal looks! long sleeves, coats, stockings! That teamed with the traditional Autumn/Winter colour pallettes of creams, browns, beiges, greys!
With global warming and temperatures rising, I wonder how many of these clothes are actually deemed wearable in summer at all!

What do you think? Or maybe it is a sign on a new conservatism - and we will be covered up on the beach with stockings, long dresses and long sleeves once more?!

I personally approve S/S collections not containing the obvious chiffon-y, light-as-a-breeze clothes solely, considering that for my location, summertime starts much late and usually stays until September. I also witnessed that a lot of people don´t care that much once the degrees hit a certain bar, they will just ask for things like "a tee shirt and some shorts", it´s indeed the season in which a lot of people dress carelessly and inadequate (I work in a shop and I find it a bit disturbing when people enter in clothes that scream out "beach" or even worse, topless!), I think a lot of designers saw that themselves and are trying to offer an alternative way of dressing that is much more covered up and strict than what happens on the streets these days... I think Marc Jacobs gave a very good comment on that as he described his S/S 2006 collection...

I dont think seasons are being disregarded...I mean you can see an obvious difference between Sydney, as opposed to London on the catwalk...

Although, I will agree in certain areas...

especially with s/s...we're seing pieces that could easily be worn in the winter...

so in that respect, you are right...

but also people go skiing during the summer so they'll want something warmer to wear also in the winter people go to sunny locations so the same thing happens

What I have noticed is ----> Where are the long sleeves. I mentioned this in another post. The store are saturated with short sleeves blouse and tops, and sleeveless dresses and tomorrow is October 1st?? I don't want to wear shrugs, boleros and shrunken jackets over everything I got, doggone it!!!

I want to see a transition in clothing and color from season to season. I expect that.

I understand what you mean.. a lot of the stuff from the SS collections look like they come from A/W collections.. I would probably have mistaken some
but still it's not that bad I think .. I live in sweden and it's not that hot here the whole summer... especially during the evening when a sweater looks beter than having a bunch of boleros or jackets so it's good that there are lots of A/W-looking pieces in the collections
