In the current fashion landscape, it is no surprise that comfort is king. After the huge
retail success enjoyed by last season’s Bermuda shorts, its next contender in line,
bicycle shorts is paving its way for Spring.

From Fendi to Chanel to Mugler to Nicopanda, the season has enough references to
help carve out the perfect assortment for the next season. Head-to-toe coordinated
sets, popping bright neons, transitional athletic styles in updated performance
fabrics and even embellished versions such as those at Roberto Cavalli are some key
inspirations to note.

As predicted in our previous issue, denim is back with a bang!
After a long lull, the category is back with ample innovation in the form of oversized
trucker jackets, baggy jeans, cargo pants and a flurry of detail-play.
Effects such as tie-and-dye and bleached-out washes pose as key directions to
follow, with a convincing nod towards detailing such as patchwork, colour blocking
and the inclusion of decorative frills and ruffles. Worn-out finishes and frayed hems
carry forward from yester-seasons proving that the vintage look is still in.
