possible. One obvious change is that designers
have been turning away from the casualness of
athleisure and trading it in for the opportunity
to get dressed up. The 80s still play an important
factor and Lady Diana’s iconic fashion moments
serve as a source of inspiration. Bows have
been spotted everywhere, on blouses, as belts
or scarfs. Animal prints are a wardrobe staple
and this fall is the season of the zebra. When
it comes to outerwear, the cape is the hero
piece alongside 70s inspired vintage shearling
jackets. As designers are turning more and
more towards more ethical and sustainable
fashion, fur has almost disappeared off the
runways.
Among the most influential people in the
German and Swiss fashion industry, Sandra
Bauknecht, gives us the low-down on what we
should be wearing in 2019, the punk look and
capes are definitely in!

Trending in
The wheel of fashion is turning fast and
sometimes it might seem difficult to follow the
trends. Fashion can be so powerful. Within
the first seven seconds of meeting, people will
have a solid impression of who you are. What
you wear plays an important part in it. Every
day you can invent yourself anew. So, let’s
get started and have a look at the F/W 2019
trends that reigned supreme – the ones most
important to know right now.
Memorize some of them to impress your
friends when they ask you what you’re
looking forward to wearing this season, and
not so humbly reply: ‘Definitely a hint of lilac,
everything punk from a transparent lace dress
with combat boots to a tartan skirt with a chain
choker, not to forget a cape and everything
layered. You know, the essentials.’
But what about our shoes, bags and
accessories? The fashionable additions to the
season’s best outfits have an equally polished
attitude. With barely a sneaker in sight, the
runways were dominated by clasp bags, fancy
kitten heels, and vibrant platform boots that
complemented the looks. On the grunge side
of things there were lots of cool offerings such
as, punk chokers, but most of all, there were
chains just about everywhere. If you belong to
the not-so-shy fraction, opt for some colourful
hosiery.
In general, we are looking forward to a season
full of unbridled fun. Enjoy!
