S/S 06 Catwalk Trends

[nqth]

How about volumn (again:-)?

Balenciaga dresses, CdG and Yamamoto did it, too (but they usually do:-).

 

[Lena]

its a trapeze kind of volume no?
in the Christobal Balenciaga mood

NYtimes has a cute street style article on vintage volume comeback

 

[nqth]

Exactly, Lena:-) I've just seen it and realised how cute the Balenciaga dresses are from the back:-)

I love prints but not to much of them

Do you agree with this?

An article i wrote for my webpage.

-ROCK AND ROLL STYLE
Beatnik and bohemian are'nt all the rage, a leather coat and minimal accessories combined make an impact when paired with a understated biker hat that frames your face.

-ITS ALL IN THE NUDE
Nude-toned dresses and garments are being embraced by a number of designers, particular John Galliano of Dior, whose nude motif stems from his reknown couture collection in Paris last summer. Sequined dresses and tops are more impressionable on nude pastels, with such garments showcasing assets to be proud of and concealing the less pleasing to the eye elements to the body.

-MINIMALLY WORN
Minimalisim has been the major mood of the season coming from spring 2006. White oversized blouses are replacing the exubrant bohemian prints that dominated the highstreet last summer. Minimal need'nt be boring: pair up a beautiful white or biege shirt with thin beads or pearls.

i'd say sequined is definitely out after being so over-done last year on the british high street, but other than that i'd say you were spot on and have the same ideas as me for the coming season.

I noticed some nice examples of folkloric work on the spring runways, perhaps most notably at PHI ...

First down the runway ...
do not quote pics

I'm sorry but, what designer is this?? I'm not familiar with PHI??

 

[justlooking]

what's your webpage

 

[LoveMyBoots]

I would definitely have to agree with you on the minimalism.
Though the nude look appeared on many runways, I don't know how well it will translate into the mainstream or the "in."

Im hoping the A-line comes through even more

i like to dress my customers like cupcakes

it seems heavy draped fabrics and bigger ribbony poofs have been waiting backstage for 2 years but never really come through

The nude-look looks really good on the catwalk, but I doubt it looks like that at us normal girls. it's looks kinda businesslike, which is not really my style. At least the first picture, the second one looks more natural, which is nice. Still I doubt it will be the next trend, it take a lot of guts to walk around like that.

I think minidresses will be quite popular, maybe worn with some shorts or some tights underneath

I kinda like the puffyness at the bottom of the dresses

 

[shinkoyo_sister]

overalls, jumper dresses, and suspenders

 

[sarah13]

Long sleeve mini dress! Also love the arts and crafts feel for spring. And can't forget the white dress.

There's so many pretty things for ss 06, I still haven't decided what to invest in.....
