SS18 Trend Report: All the trends you’ll be wearing in 2018

The Fashion Month dust has settled, we’ve finally emptied out our cases from Paris Fashion Week (still can’t find that missing earring, dammit) and the street stylers are back to Kira Kira-ing their breakfasts, instead of each other outside show venues.  We’ve done our Spring Summer 2018 fashion trends research, and now we’d say it’s high time for some next-season wardrobe plotting. Let’s face it, it’s never too early to start that wish-list – especially if you want more than a hope in hell of getting your hands on that Gucci bum bag. So, what did we learn from the NY/London/Milan/Paris Fashion Week whirl?

We’ve got two words – Fashion Prozac. That’s right, after an epically depressing year for politics (and just about everything else), designers reacted in the only way they know how. With uplifting, colourful, joyous clothes that took us off into another universe. Kaleidescopes of rainbow colour, the yummy new sugared almond pastels, Versace’s Insta-breaking supermodel reunion, some pretty powerful 80s power dressing – and OTT texture and fringing galore. The message: the outlook might be a little gloomy right now, but at least we can dress ourselves happy…1.AW18-Fashion-Trends-Thumnail-1220x686

Against a majestic waterfall set, Karl Lagerfeld paraded clothes inspired by water, though not in an obvious way.

“Water is the driving force of all nature,” said Leonardo da Vinci. He’s to be forgiven his error; he lived in the era b.k. — before Karl.

On Tuesday morning, Karl Lagerfeld, fashion’s own indomitable force of nature, paid tribute to that one identified by da Vinci with a Chanel collection that was all about water. It started with the set. The Grand Palais under Lagerfeld’s watch could be subtitled “The Realm of the Possible,” because he has transformed it variously into an art gallery, underwater world, posh supermarket, Eiffel Tower esplanade and rocket-launching pad. And now a majestic outdoor retreat, its 50-foot tall, 275-foot wide expanse of faux rock — sculpted, varnished polystyrene panels — equipped with six points of falling water, the surrounding trees dappling the light. It looked for all the world like a natural wonder. Never mind that it took two months to build and nine days to install. Lagerfeld could not have known when he planned it how right his mis-en-scene’s resonant serenity would feel on this particular morning.

The clothes, too, were inspired by water, though not in an obvious way. Well, not obvious except for the raindrop earrings and repellent plastics for Chanel boaters, boots (many over the knee), handbags and outwear, both functional (hooded capes and anoraks) and decorative (little tippets). But for the most part, Lagerfeld delivered the motif via fabrics — tweeds, laces, knits — shot with metallic to glisten and change with movement and subtle shifts of light; sheer, open-work constructions, some suggesting ripples, others, fishnet cellophane fringe; abstract watery prints; shaggy fringing that mimicked seaweed

That surface glimmer imposed unity on a collection exciting in its diversity. Through 88 exits, Lagerfeld offered endless wardrobe options while playing significantly, though not exclusively, to the younger side of the house demographic. He started out in casual mode with a pair of midriff-baring fringed tops over a mini and shorts, and offered a significant denim interlude. There were snappy shifts with contrast diamond-shaped insets defining the waist and full, playful party skirts. Jackets came both sculpted and unconstructed. Pants Name your pleasure: wide, skinny, short, long. The bags — fabulous, sometimes carried in multiples: big cross-body quilted carryall; iridescent plastic totes; squishy sequined clutches, clear minaudières adored with crystals. Yes, there was a lot going on, but invitingly so, all ultra chic and upbeat. Lest it cross over to too much, Lagerfeld closed with a series of gentle white evening dresses, each one shimmering with delicate light. Perfect.Chanel RTW Spring 2018

ALL THE FASHION PIONEERS LEADING US INTO THE NEW SEASON

The fashion set is currently on its semi-annual tour of fashion weeks, from New York to London, and now Milan. The loudest takeaway thus far has been that the media is batshit for Batsheva, a collection of high-necked, long-sleeved, and generously frilled pioneer lady dresses from the New York designer Batsheva Hay. Breathless coverage from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New Yorker, among others suggests that perhaps the Urban Prairie Girl is on her way to unseating the Silver Lake Shaman (and the Brooklyn Lumberjack before her) as fashion’s current muse.

recently interviewed The RealReal’s chief merchant, Rati Levesque, about how the company uses data to track the desirability of certain items (Cartier Tanks are having a moment) and adjust pricing accordingly. On a personal note, she mentioned setting up an alert in the app for menswear-style coats from Loro Piana and Dries van Noten—a pro-tip for label-specific fashion hunts, or to find the one that got away from a past season.

Redesigning fashion

The interview with Levesque was one in a new Quartzy series of interviews called Redesigning Fashion that Marc Bain, Annaliese Griffin and I did with leaders in the field—you might call them fashion pioneers—who are forging paths we might barely have imagined a decade ago.

Marc Bain spoke with High Snobiety founder David Fischer, who took it back to the Blogspot days, when he started High Snobiety to share his thoughts about streetwear and sneakers. Today, that blog has grown into a publisher and creative agency with more than 9 million monthly visitors to its site and 2.4 million Instagram followers.Batsheva-dresses-e1537552598442

I enjoyed the New Yorker profile of Hay, especially as side-by-side reading with Cathy Horyn’s New York Magazine profile of Rachel Comey, one of my all-time favorite designers of clothing that I actually wear. It’s exciting to watch these women find success by dressing women as they like to dress themselves.

If you’re feeling this pioneer dress thing but can’t get your hands on (or wrap your head around) Batsheva, the California-based labels Doen and Christy Dawn make slightly more accessible versions. And there’s always vintage Laura Ashley on eBay.

Or, look for Ulla Johnson dresses on The RealReal

The RealReal, if you’re not already addicted, is a luxury online consignment site where people can sell the high-end clothes, accessories, and home goods they no longer use to people happy to buy them at a discount. They’ve recently opened stores in New York and Los Angeles, and have worked with over 9 million customers.

Virtual or real? Fashion world split over digital supermodels

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – The three women gazing into the camera in an advert for French luxury label Balmain look like they could fit in at any high-end shoot, but Shudu, Margot and Zhi are “digital models” whose rise is dividing the fashion world.

The computer-generated trio at the center of Balmain’s new campaign is the latest example of fashion brands embracing technology to lure digital-savvy younger clients.

Best known of the three is Shudu, a black digital model created by visual artist Cameron-James Wilson last year. She has her own Instagram account with 145,000 followers which describes her as “the world’s first digital supermodel”. Modeling shots include her wearing Tiffany jewelry for Vogue Australia.

Responses from the industry during New York and London fashion weeks were mixed, with designer Michael Kors among those critical of computer-generated imagery (CGI) being used in this way.

“I am not into a digital model. I am into real people with personalities and opinions,” Kors said at his show in New York.

“The idea of digital models is something that I hope does not gain popularity.”

But British designer Alice Temperley believes using CGI could help cut costs.

“I quite like the idea of doing some of that for the commercial and then spending the money on doing events,” Temperley said at London Fashion Week.

“I think CGI for computer, for website, for selling purposes, for walking backwards and forwards and showing a product on a website is genius, but not necessarily to bring life and flavor into a brand, because that’s much more personal.”

Shudu’s creator said the rise of CGI in fashion was inevitable. “After all we see CGI being used in almost every other industry,” Wilson said in an emailed statement.Screenshot_2
