with black stripes against

he very streetwear
inspired trend of utility
peeped through in the form
of exaggerated patch pockets
in distorted sizes and fits
juxtaposed over puffer, faux
leather and vinyl jackets for the
F/W 2019 edition.
The much hyped fanny packs
were also a part of these trends
championing utility with smaller
belt pouches, cross shoulder
bags or sweatshirts with trims
such as fanny pack attachments
and buckle closures, forming a
good chunk of the collections.
Other strong instances came
in the form of half jackets in
functional forms with multiple
pockets, drawstring closures,
buckles and zippers, emerging
as perfect layering pieces. For
these, designers experimented
with fabrics ranging from
technical sportswear materials
to denim to more tailored
varieties so as to zero in on the
wide-ranging demand.
