An ode to the ’80s makes a comeback every other season,
when an element from the celebrated bygone era is utilised in
novel ways to keep the vintage theme alive. This year it was
dedicated to the hippie fringes as designers experimented
with the element of detail in different fabrics such as statement
leather, breezy organza, sustainable jute fibres and even fine and
lustrous satin.
Fringed hemlines, sleeves and accessories such as waist-cinching
belts, draped sashes etc., are all set to join the racks of Spring
2019 fashion to add the extra flare to the otherwise straight
silhouettes and striped prints.
Moody Florals or
Dark Tropicals
Red-Valentino
Leaving behind the conventional character of being bright and
colourful, florals and tropical prints were revamped to address
a more oriental influence for Spring 2019. Taking up a moody
form with darker shades such as black, maroon and deeper
shades of green and peacock blue, florals and lush leafy tropical
motifs were paired with contrasting motifs such as geometrical
linear patterns and circles. These versatile print-pattern pairings
effortlessly transformed daytime looks to evening occasionwear.
These patterns also experimented with contrasting palettes,
as popping shades of yellow and pinks set against fine lines of
darker tones such as black, made a statement.
