Trends S/S 05

[Lena]

true, people dont buy much anywhere anymore, but the mood is there through lower end trend consious stores eg Zara, H&M, mango etc

 

[KitKat]

Just thought I would add some 'Aviator' pics, since it's supposed to be 'the fashion' film around Christmas (so we all know what we'll probably be wearing for new years, lol!)...[attachmentid=24764][attachmentid=24764][attachmentid=24764] ooops???

*i know i'm being a little naughty here...but hey...

for some, I'm sure, but for who, that's what's worrisome....

...[attachmentid=24768]....


hmm, big brooches and rings, maybe, no more tiny delicate stuff, but some big rocks.. satiny, sleek dresses, platinum blonde???

 

[softgrey]

actually...imho..this is the year of michael kors...both his eponymous collection and celine...

i think he's hit two home runs...H&M is full of "little house on the prairie"- looking stuff...aloong with the ponchos and capes we saw at chloe...i think we're headed more bohemian western peasant...that kind of feel...mixed with marc jacobs' bow blouses which work well in here...a little cutaway velvet blazer...tweed trousers...vests-both button down and sweater style...and TONS AND TONS of jewelry...esp BROOCHES...it's all the same pieces...it just depends how you pair them and style them...

so i do see the ladylike thing...it's just not necessarily styled exactly the way we see in on the pages of vogue...but THANK GOD!!!...even anna wintour doesn't really dress like that ...that's a caricature...an over-the-top example of how it's done...in reality a stylish woman takes elements of what she sees and incorporates them into what she already owns and wears...

otherwise she would be a "fashion victim"...without a mind of her own...BORING>>>!!!

so i actually have seen these trends and ladylike styles on ladies around town...but they might pair the little jacket with jeans...and everyone is pinning brooches everywhere they can think of...and i am see round toes more and more...

like lena says...it's an evolutioin...not a revolution...you cannot compare 2004 with 1992's grunge...the world was a different place then and people are far more cautious these days (as kit kat pointed out)...which isn't necessarily a bad thing...

So the suit did come, people just split it up, and worked it differently...jacket with jeans, skirts separately..

The bohemian prairie chic hasn't even sent a breeze here yet (generally), I haven't even seen ponchos in stores yet, and I've looked! Bow blouses, I can really look for. I can't even find tweed skirts like I want them, really...because I love that look of tweed skirts and boots. The black and white mod stuff is everywhere here, more 60's than 70's. Hmm. But it always takes a while for the trends to get here, the von Dutch amongst our celebs is still on, lol..and like I said, Uggs just got here, so in the spring I'll see ponchos, I guess...now I'm frustrated.

 

[softgrey]

have you been to H&M...because it's packed with all of the above and it's flying out of the stores...they have a great knock off of this dress for $60..

gorgeous...nope, not in ours, not yet anyhow, I was just there yesterday. But maybe they have different inventories for each country? I know here they'll have like different items in different cities..

 

[softgrey]

wow...i know that there is different inventory for different countries...but i just assumed that europe had the better stuff...but i guess ny is pretty fashion forward...i always forget that it's not like this everywhere...

 

[KitKat]

i'm back, searched out some links, and these aren't designers, but how it really ends up on the shelves, and how people wear it, so you can see what I mean..

http://www.otto.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfini...aUAAAD.9e2ga5Vh

the above are typical but these too: http://www.conleys.de/sr020kategorieVP.szz...de=women&page=1 Just click throught the pages for different 'trends'... have to add, to be fair, that lady-chic and cropped jackets have been around the block here a few times..but the tweed jackets are new, and round toe shoes... And they always revive the 60s. [attachmentid=24778][attachmentid=24779]

 

[daisyduke]

lol..kinda random but i can't wait to see Leo back (practically from the dead) in the Aviator

 

[seditionary]

wow nice stuff u r all talkin about

the old style hollywood glamour..
let me tell u now.. that even though it is now dead.. (god rest its pages)
THE FACE talked about this in its jan issue (or thereabouts) of this year
the hollywood glam... spotted around clubland ... especially "nagnagnag *** hags" and let me tell u ... peeps in around london.. have been sporting this look... its not street style... its club style... big brooches.. veiled hats, hollywood glam ethic... even with some of the war references thrown in too...

also about the "everything with a twist" its definately true... in london i can say the "hip underground st martins/fashion student" crowd... are sporting this covered up glam look, suits, the dark beauty, the simple make up, the big brooches.... but its mixed up.... we have a more "supermarket style" .... grab something from this n a little bit of that... going around the different aisles of fashion/clothes in influences n references n picking what we like... everything comes with a twist... otherwise u will appear to be in costume


( i am not talkin abt my personal style... if ur thinkin this after seein pics of me... wat i decide to wear clubbin is much more of a costume than clothes)

 

[Lena]

KitKat, Zara has some real nice tweed skirts for fall,
(brown with pale pink tweed) problem is that they didnt fit
the way i was expecting ... give it a try if there is any Zara
branch where you live

thanks for the London streetwear update sedi,
much appreciated

the last real trend we saw was the entire "brooklyn chic" thing. it swept overnight. i remember going out in vegas two years ago and it wasn't one or two people adding touches here and there. EVERYONE was in trucker hats, destroyed jeans, vintage tees, blazers, and the ubiquitous "quirky" shoe. it swept this country (and i suspect others) in a matter of months. sure, we all got tired of it REALLY fast, but the magazines couldn't print fast enough to keep up with that trend. that's what i qualify as a bonafide trend. i just think that a lot of people are trying to force this new ladylike thing and it's just not happening.

most people i know who wear blazers all the time, self included, wear them because they're funky not sophisticated. but i guess we'll see (again).

uuh uh...that's a fad...something that comes and goes very quickly is a FAD...a trend is a directions that fashion in general is moving in...that must be why we aren't seeing eye to eye...

different use of terminology...


PS...since when does LAS VEGAS set trends???!!!?!?!........

i mentioned vegas bc a lot of things roll in and out of new york that don't necessarily reflect what's going on in the rest of the country/world. maybe our terminology is different. i see brooklyn chic as a trend. and things like boxer sneakers, trucker hats, etc. as fads. people still basically dress in that high+low/vintage+designer way that i think the "brooklyn chic" look crystallized. i think the brooklyn chic thing is really the reason why people have stopped dressing in a uniform of minimalist nineties black.

 

[softgrey]

hahhaaa...i don't even know what brooklyn chic is???...what are you talking about...??

 

[Salvatore]

I have a feeling Moroccan inspired stuff mixed with the Hollywood glamour will be hot. But that's just me
