The 90s
From Saint Laurent to Vetments, the 1990s fashion scene was
the most popular decade to mine for inspiration at the SS16 shows. Channel your
inner Kate Moss by teaming your slip with wellies and an oversized jacket as at
Saint Laurent, or take some sporty street styling tips from the Alexander Wang
show. Even the tracksuit made a seriously chic comeback, with Edie Campbell
modelling Chloe’s new velour number. We never thought we’d see the day
The Backpack
The humble gap year rucksack has been given a haute makeover
thanks to Burberry, who embroidered each model’s initials into their canvas and
nylon wares. Elsewhere, Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim luxed up the traditional
shape, while Rick Owens used, um, other humans in his demonstration of piggy
backs
Tiara Time
Move over Duchess Kate, the tiara’s taken on a cool new
runway-ready guise. No look at Saint Laurent or Miu Miu was complete without
its crowning glory. Maybe an ornate headband would be a more office-appropriate
nod to the trend, but come festival season, we’ll all be finding our inner
urban princess.
All These Little Things
It's time to flaunt every jewel in your box. Let the
layering commence, as Gucci declares that more is more when it comes to
accessorising for the spring 2016 fashion season. The berets, the brooches, the
Deirdre Barlow specs... pile them high and get yourself down to Abigail's
Party, stat.
In Chains
The classic chunky chain gets a cool-over for spring,
re-imagined in wavy chokers at JW Anderson, or scrunched into heavy clutch
handles at Marni.
Graphic Bags
Leather stripes and bold prints ruled at Dolce and Gabbana,
Stella McCartney and more, while Kenzo took the trend even more literally,
showing clusters of basic shape pouches in a single look.
Extra Long Earrings
Shoulder-grazing lengths are the objects to desire,
preferably in a mismatched pair a la Celine or JW Anderson. This is one of the
easiest style updates to try at home for the new season - simply buy two new pairs
of earrings to clash, or cherry-pick old favourites from your existing
jewellery box.
Haute Slippers
Get yourself a new pair of cool mules, pronto. Acne's woven
checkerboards and Balenciaga's cream lace slides are some of the hottest flats
of the season, and super-comfortable to boot. Let's thank our lucky fashion
stars in advance for that one, shall we?
