This show season was headline-laden before it had even begun. Hedi Slimane was making his debut at the newly christened Celine (minus the é); Riccardo Tisci was gearing up to unveil his first collection for Burberry; Ralph Lauren’s brand was marking five decades and the Missoni family brand four; Victoria Beckham was coming back to London from New York to mark a decade of her brand and Milan fashion week regular Gucci was going to Paris. But with the reviews published and all being said, shown and done, what are the trends that will trickle down into our wardrobes next summer? Read on to get an insight into what spring/summer 2019 is going to look like.
Responsible for the heyday of Alexis Colby, Bananarama and Prince, the 80s is the decade that keeps on giving. Designers mined the most popular fashion references: at Moschino, Jeremy Scott presented it in pin-sharp suits that were double breasted and worn with wide-brimmed hats; at Balenciaga, Gucci and Escada, it was all about the power shoulder, too, seen in bold primary-hued blazers and knee-length dresses.
Hedi Slimane at Celine and Isabel Marant were thinking after dark with their take on the trend, seen in the former’s ruffled and puff-skirt mini-dresses and the latter’s stonewashed-denim looks. Not one for wallflowers, the 2019 take on the trend is all about more, more, more.
