With the end of two great events in the fashion world, New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, and with Milan Fashion Week still going strong, we now know what designers want us to wear in the next season to be “fashionable.” But let’s be realistic--not everything that comes down the runway can actually be worn or suits every body type. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
While New York Fashion Week was a dream in white, London’s idea was neon pink, acid yellow and cool aquas. So far in Milan, Prada seems to be all about Monkeys.
Like Tina Gaudoin said in her column for the WSJ:
"so transient are trends that the phrase 'in fashion' is almost entirely redundant. By definition, the moment you are wearing something 'fashionable,' you become a follower and not a leader."
Fashion is about having fun. If you love and feel comfortable in something, wear it with confidence. So what if it is from Forever 21 not Dolce? Like Gaudoin said, “With confidence comes style. For whilst these days there might be little use for the description 'fashionable,' there is certainly much to be said for being stylish (with all that the term implies, including good taste and longevity)."
On that note, au revoir and see you in Paris for the new trends from Chanel, Miu Miu, Westwood & co., and Bisous Bisous.
