New Year celebrations might be a distant memory, but the Lunar
New Year (according to Chinese astrology) is just around the corner, and it
made me wonder what these `new beginnings` may bring to the fashion scene. What
would we go wild for this year? Who would we celebrate? What would influence us?
Who would guide us? What would be our ultimate `it` accessory? Which designer
would we lust for?
I came up with 5 Fashion Trends for 2014:
1.
The strength of your character, your
individuality should shine through. This year is not about following sheepishly
any designated fashion inclination. The trend is to be individual!
2.
Maximalism will be our maxim: did you see Miuccia
Prada`s heavily embellished, traditional coats? Or her `bra tops`? Or Phoebe
Philo`s homage to abstract act? Or Saint Laurent`s silver embroidered boleros? Raise
you glass to the year of pop-up colour and glittery abandon
3.
History lessons will guide and entertain us, as
new looks will bring inspirations from historical figures. Just check out
Christian Dior`s spring cosmetics collection, all inspired by no other than
Marie Antoinette
4.
Reptiles will still be our friends, and so
called `exotic skin` accessories such as alligator, crocodile, lizard, python
etc, will be still sought after. Not only the real thing though; fabrics
printed in exotic skin pattern will be also turning our heads – look no further
then Stella McCartney`s faux-snake dresses – simply stunning
5.
By the middle of the year we will form close alliance
with so called `date dresses` - not overly sexy, not too pretty, slightly
demure but fabulously feminine. Dolce & Gabbana will show us the way to
seduce with sophistication!
