Being still in the throes of a global pandemic, and following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was a bizarre fashion week. It felt awkward on one side, on the other you saw that designers felt that urge to live again, while setting a statement.
The revival of the 2000s «Y2K» which is the shorthand for «the year 2000» is still going strong along with vibrant colors and strong shoulders on which you can carry the weight of the world. Literally.
Enjoy those beautiful collections and as I wished already six months ago, let’s hope again that we will find peace this season and finally learn from our history.
LoL, Sandra
The must-have of the season is actually a very summery item. The white tank top gives an elevated take on wardrobe essentials this season.
Never out of style, the flight jacket aka bomber jacket is a wardrobe hero that can be worn for all occasions. From morning walk to weekend lunch to evening gala, it has had various luxe updates for fall.
Silhouettes built for speed give motorcross its fashion credentials.
More and more designers skip animal fur and work on creating the perfect faux fur. This winter mainly in neutral colors and oversized shapes.
This winter, leather is a second skin and creates eye-catching looks.
Knitwear combinations in form of dresses with cardigans or sweater with matching skirts are all the rage this winter.
Attention catwomen! Luxe leopard is really feeling fresh again.
Strong shoulders have been seen frequently at Balenciaga. Thanks to Demna Gvasalia who shaped the fashion industry in myriad ways, this detail has inspired many runway shows this winter. In form of oversized blazers styled in different ways, they are the key pieces to look for.
Corporate tailoring is heading out-of-office for autumn. Oversized tailoring, crazy prints and vibrant colors promise a fabulous sabbatical.
Mood-boosting hues in rainbow colors – designers used those shades often head-to-toe or in color block options.
Transparency takes it up a notch also for winter in skin-tight silhouettes and fearless cut-outs. The difference now? Body-con isn’t just for twiglets. Models of all sizes sported the looks down the runways.
The Y2K trend is here to stay. Also this F/W 2022 season, low-rise waists, micro minis, visible underwear and all-over denim live their revival to the fullest. The 2000s are back!
Another revival that has been spotted on several runways is the punk-fuelled trend. Tartan patchworks, edgy lines and multiple buckles add to the vibe.
Back to school! The coolest uniforms break out of the classroom and onto the runway.
This season, fashion is extreme. Either you wear miniskirts or opt for great lengths that fell to the floor this fall.
Red alert! The modern woman dresses head to toe in tight pants and sexy tops in the most feminine color of all.
Corsets and a focus on the waist are huge this winter season. The best way? Corsetry introduces structured lines to flowing gowns for a contemporary feminine silhouette.
Fashion can be art, it is a form of expression. With all uncertainties in the world, designers are creating looks to dress up. Layered, colorful, voluminous, and wild to unleash your inner child.
The perfect looks for happily ever after stories with tulle fabrications so light they are reminiscent of cloud nine, painted in a delicate palette of pastel shades.
The Roaring Twenties: Art Deco accents, boas and shimmering details ask for a Great Gatsby revival at its best.
