With Seventies influences from Saturday night fever to hippy deluxe, a khaki nod to military style alongside nautical accents, experiments with transparency, patchworks of vintage prints and a mix & match approach to volume and fabric, for Summer 2015 we're set to see contrast take center stage. If you only have one takeaway from the Spring/Summer collections, make it a move towards singularity, with a modern energy founded on those twists and borrowings that fashion so loves. Read further to stay a step ahead as I present a round-up of the runway trends set to take Spring/Summer 2015 by storm.
1. Khaki And the Military Style
Since it first hit the runway over 40 years ago, khaki has become a fashion classic, returning this season with a bang. Appearing in varying styles for a number of fashion houses, we saw suede khaki pieces at Chanel's feminist protest, while Marc Jacobs offered sexy, military silhouettes and Ralph Lauren opted for Out of Africa, Safari-style glamour. A trend also seen at Balmain Paris and in Indian Street Style Clothing.
2. Boho/ Hippie
Even after about 50 years of occurrence, music festivals like Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace that contributed an entire lifetime of hippie inspired boho/free spirited colorful vibe in clothing continue to inspire even celebrities today to dress in similar fashions in music festivals like Coachella. Stepping straight out of 1970s Marrakech, these long, light and flowing dresses will billow in the breeze this summer as you take on the elements in style. This season, the luxury bohemian trend, inspired by the iconic hippie-chic look, took to the runway in powder pink silhouettes for Alberta Ferretti, kaleidoscope motifs at Etro while Claire Waight Keller toyed with lace and pleat effects at Chloé.
3. The Jumpsuit
The Jumpsuit is back! It has really been making a resurgence over the last few months and it looks like it's here to stay as a Spring/Summer 2015 trend. At Dior, Elie Saab, Pucci and Ralph Lauren all-in-ones and jumpsuits were given a couture edge with accessories such as leather belts, scarves and statement jewelry, as well as extra long zips and straps with oversized buttons. Swapping the warehouse for an art gallery the jumpsuit is set to be the uniform for the chic and sophisticated next season. Also,with Indian Designer Collections like that of Sabyasachi Summer/Resort 2015, Jumpsuits definitely seem to have come back.
4. The Sultry Sheer
The go-to color for effortless chic, whether worn as a little black dress or elegant evening wear, black is the ultimate style armor, especially when it toys with the art of suggestion. This season we saw Dolce & Gabbana offering a sultry black dress with expertly designed cut-outs, while an alluring all-black silhouette took to the runway for Michael Kors. A trend also seen at: Burberry Prorsum, Roberto Cavalli and Elie Saab.
5. Florals
Spring/Summer and flowers go hand in hand, but there's nothing natural about these new blooms. Never has the concept of florals for spring felt fresher: Big and beautiful or minute and abstract, this season, flower power is boldly feminine and here to stay. From cartoonish retro prints to ghostly chintzes, florals take a hyperreal turn. Florals have also been seen coming back beautifully in several designer collections at the Indian Fashion Weeks too!
