Fashion Month’s Hottest Trends

90s fashion is making a comeback!

There is no denying that the supermodel aesthetic, the grunge aesthetic, and the fashions of the 1990s-2000s are here to stay. From Miu Miu‘s sheer mini skirts to plenty of low-rise looks, 90s fashion has been everywhere in recent months.

Thanks to the 90s supermodel aesthetic seen on runways, we see the return of off-duty model looks. We also know the grunge aesthetic, with, low-rise waisted jeans, cargo pants, and combat boots coming back into fashion and streetwear, influencing the runway through some fashion favourites like Miu Miu, Diesel and Fendi, to name a few.

There has been a recent trend toward pared-back looks that borrow from the 90’s staples and minimal styles, such as sleek black mini dresses, pumps, sunglasses, and leather looks, leading both the street style of celebrities and fashion lovers alike.

Besides the 90s revival, the y2k movement has remained strong, with the latest y2k trend to rule the runway being cargo pants reworked into workwear and different colours.

Join the crystal core movement if you love sparkles, glitter, and all things extra. Here it’s all about glitter, crystal embellishments, risqué looks, lame fabrics, and glamorous ensembles.

From Balmain‘s glittering pieces to Isabel Marant‘s spotted ones, designers have been inspired by glittering crystals and Lame fabric. In addition, Cher-inspired metallic gowns, skirts, blazers, and booties were displayed during fashion month!

Fashion houses such as Valentino, Isabel Marant, Givenchy, Chanel, Gucci, Michael Kors and Ludovic de Saint Sernin are featuring a liquid gold aesthetic alongside sequins and embellishments.

Whether worn under decadent suiting or in a calm manner with button-up shirts or thin tank tops, shimmering sheers will glitz up and enliven any of your outings for next season.

This season saw designers push the boundaries of what fashion is, with artsy/craft core-think all things embroidered, appliqued, knitted, woven, cable knits, and hand designs seen as art pieces. In addition, designers like Coach create gorgeous artsy designs in preppy sweaters on various runways.

Fashion as art is a big trend in the industry right now, with the latest trend of 3D flowers turning simple garments into blossoming works of art in the Off-White (Ibrahim Kamara debut collection), Loewe and Bottega Veneta all hopping on creating gorgeous art-inspired gowns.

Another trend ruling the fashion x art scene is optical illusions and vibrant prints; designers such as Y/Project, Balmain and Loewe rocked this trend using a range of innovative garments, including pixelated shapes, patterns and hand-drawn designs.

The standouts of this trend include the likes of Loewe‘s collections, Thom Browne, Valentino and Comme Des Garcons. They combine couture craftsmanship and conceptual designs to create pieces for lovers of art and fashion and people who love expressing themselves through vibrant patterns, prints and other abstract designs.
