70s’ Nostalgia
Chloe
Gucci
Kate Spade
A major nostalgic throwback was a key peg for many designers and brands for
revolving their Spring/Summer 2019 collections around. A boho-inspired vibe
was omnipresent at the international runways depicted via an avid use of worn-
out patchwork detailing, vintage paisley motif work and free-flowing forms. The
Macintosh emerged as a game-changer in the outerwear category whilst flared
silhouettes such as bell bottoms appeared as the mainstay across collections.
Colour palettes were dominated by browns and olive greens.

A direct output of the vacation soiree, details such as crochet and fishnet pose as a
key trend for the approaching Spring/Summer 2019 season. Full on fishnet dresses –
either dotted with adornments and/or applique or plain as-is, were spotted at Dior,
Altuzarra, Phillip Lim and Pyers Moss, whilst Louis Vuitton introduced a sporty zest
with a sculpted shoulder look.
The market is ripe for handmade aesthetics and crocheted details fall right under
this category. Designers went all out and experimented with crocheted tops, beach-
approved bags and even footwear to score high on the pastoral appeal.
