UK Vogue F/W 06.07 Trend Report

[jpolla]

Im sure everybody here has seen all of the shows for this A/W and made up your own minds, however (being bored) i thought i'd post an overview of what they said. (Just before i write this, i am not claiming any credit, i am merely typing out of the magazine in front of me)
Credit: Vogue UK, and pictures vogue.co.uk
Shoes:-Urban Warrior= Powerful and aggressive, with chunky heels, platforms and wedges. Ones Below, Balenciaga

-Animal= Animal prints are a real nod to the eighties. Don't overdo ti, shoes beign a perfect way to tap into the trend. Ones Below, Roberto Cavalli

-Red= In every hue from cranberry to scarlett, there is something very compulsive about red shoes. They add a wicked streak to a conservative outfit.Can't find any pics.
-Boots= In this season of extremes, there is a huge choice from over-the-knees to little shoe-boots. Biker boots are still around but joined by chunky-soled "bovver" boots.Ones Below, Marc by Marc Jacobs

-Costume Drama= This is all about old-fashioned glamour with a historical edge. Velvet, tweed, brogues and lacing are the key. Ones below, Dolce&Gabbana

-Couture= In contrast to Urban warrior, couture means beautifully designed traditional courts and return to grown-up elegant tailoring. It's about balance, beauty and proportion. Ones Below, Marc Jacobs

Thats shoes above, now for clothes trends.
THE NEW SMART= Get ready to sharpen up your act as daywear sheds its casual guise for a sleeker, more uptown look. Result is refreshingly modern. Think Chloe.

THE LENGTH:SHORT= Tiny is big as hemlines rise higher and higher. Thigh-grazing A-line coats and flirty microdresses are imbued with girlish charm, while leggings and trousers make short styles a more tempting option. Think YSL,Balenciaga and MiuMiu

I really like it. And I've been searching for a some nice looking leopard print heels for ages. Maybe once theses trends make their splash I'll finally find what I'm looking for.

 

[ApertureRomance]

Thankyou !

I'm loving the modernist look but I have to say I'm really bored with animal print.

I saw a lady recently wearing one of those cream chunky knit jumpers with black leggings and black ankle boots it looked amazing.

 

[jpolla]

It's a such a good trend charity/thrift shops are full of hand knitted or machine made Aran knit jumpers.
