Passion for fashion keeps the fashion capitals of the world alive for years. Whatever the season is, the fashion trends in the fashion capitals never fail to impress the world. So what's the fashion verdict this autumn 2012?! Let's start discovering this season's fashion frenzy!
Metro Mag's September 2012 issue features the trends in the five fashion capitals of the world--- Paris, London, New York, Milan and Manila. Based on my reading and research from Metro Mag, FashionTelegraph, Fabsugar and StyleBiblePh, I've come up with a summary of the fashion highlights for each fashion city.
PARIS
This season, Paris' fashion highlights are metallics and silhouette; these swings are featured in Alexander McQueen and Lanvin's line. In addition, volume and texture are also predominant for this winter.
LONDON
The apparent trend in London focuses on brocade and florals. This style creates a certain visual effect for the Brits. In terms of color, three are in for this while; these are lavender, red and army green. It may seem hard to mix and match these colors, but you can always try. If you really find it hard to combine the three, then you can always pick a predominant color and just have the remaining colors the color of your accessories. Other notable must-wear this time of the year are leather trousers, rolled-neck tops and hats.
NEW YORK
What's the madness this winter for the Yankees? Well well... Say welcome to prints and textures for a more lady-like look. This theme brings confidence and strength to the New Yorkers. When it comes to color, red and military green are in. This is similar to the color trend in London except that lavender is not much of a focus in New York. Furthermore, the style you need to try to be in like a Yankee is the geek/preppy look. As have been said, geek is chic again, so put your glasses on and have a preppy layer.
MILAN
Ciao fashionistas! There's a mini clash between flamboyance and restraint for this season in Italy. Cavalli's line manifests fashion love for extrovert designs while Veneta's collection shows restraint through designs which have touch of depth and introspectiveness. On the other hand, black and white pattern never seems to fade; monochrome is in for the Italians this autumn. Leopard, silver and gothic styles are also a mania for this time of the year. Last but not the least is fur. Oh, the cold season is starting!
MANILA
Mabuhay Philippines! Grandeur and classic-end are the primary themes for this holiday season. Yeah, sort of heavy themes, but the details of the design for the different collections this season pretty much portray the motifs... In line with this is the laid back style, not being too much over the top. As to specific clothing, biker-inspired jackets are very much sought-after for this cold season of the year.
Indeed, the fashion capitals of the world always surprise the people on what's in for the season. As for the bottom-line of this year's autumn/winter season, it's all about details and ornaments. Whatever the color or style of an outfit is, no doubt that details and ornaments are becoming more and more of a focus.
