Print Party
A heavy dose of uniquely bold print-pattern-clashing was in full effect at the international runways.
Whether over long jumpsuits, a three-piece set, shirts, track pants, jackets, robes or bags, designers and high fashion brands alike
injected a dose of bright, unapologetic and statement patterns to their menswear offering for S/S ’19.
Prints dominated the growing menswear segment this season, with designers opting for head-to-toe print-on-print variations, rather
than focusing on separates. Each designer’s individuality was communicated through the choice of pattern mixes they presented
within their collections.
The New Length
Outerwear is reaching for new lengths this season. From long and crisp formal coats, to printed and flowing casual jackets, to muted
technical performance wear, lengths that grazed the knees or hit the calves, were a norm adopted by the fashion fraternity.
Designers and high fashion brands alike experimented with a variety of materials and techniques ranging from solids, dual fabrics,
checks, plaids and even embellished details for the approaching Summer 2019 season. Technical materials such as wind-proof and
water-repellent fabrics, and utilitarian details in hiking-inspired gears are popular themes across the board for S/S ’19.
