A/W '16, athleisure wear, fashion staple, fashion trends, gender neutral fashion, runway presentations

Athleisure wear has evolved from a fashion trend to a fashion staple;

influencing dress options for work, fun and smart casual.

Gender neutural, age neutral-

athleisure wear continues to dominate runway presentation and street style.

Create a signature, on-point look for autumn / winter fashion 2016;

incorporate key elements of athleisure attire:

track suit tops/bottoms, hoodies, sweatshirts, leggings,

trousers with contrast colour side stripes,

jersey sports top, immaculate white trainers,

pieces from sportswear  labels (Adidas, Puma, etc.).

Gentle layering forms a sleek silhouette while keeping the chill at bay-

keeping warm and looking good!

Be sublte with athleisure pieces or go bold for gold

for a winning style statement.

autumn/winter clothing, bomber jacket, outerwear, Wood Wood- the Greta bomber jacket

 

The bomber jacket is one of this autumn season’s staple outerwear.

With many designs from which to choose, fashion options are a  – plenty.

My particular favourite is from Danish label Wood Wood-

the lush colour and textural fabrication of “The Greta” bomber jacket

caught my eye, tugged at my heart (and a bit at my purse strings!)

Agender wear: dropping “the bomb” (jacket, that is!) on Fall Fashion for 2015

autumn/winter 2015, bomber jacket, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, gender neutral fashion, off - runway fashion, on runway fashion, outerwear, style ideas?, style inspiration

The bomber jacket

as a gender neutral,  on point piece

continues to explode with fashion heat

making another style statement appearance for autumn 2015.

.

…

This season, think out of the box with bomber jacket styling:

no need to march to standard military green-

go with with a jewel colour company

experiment with patterns, prints and varied fabrication

play with proportion for the long and short of it

switch up silhouette shaping in cropped or oversized options

…

The bomber, in all its permutations, is  ‘must have’ outerwear

for this autumn / winter season.

…

 

Heads up:  styling cues on and off runway

Bomb(ers ) Away!

aymmetric details

mixed fabrication

unfussed

subdued base colours

historic hints (medieval sleeves / contours)

’40s flair

’50s hemlines

…

The clothes are a gentle jumble of various influences.

Yet, all comes together seamlessly-

in an coherent collection.

…

The label, which launched in 2012

is “wide awake” with creative engergy and possibilities.

'April Showers'- song lyrics, dressing for the elements, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, outwear, plastic outerwear, rainwear, Spring 2015, weather wear

The lyrics from the song  April Showers–

music written by Louis Silvers and lyrics by B. G. De Sylva, 1921

have become popularised as comment on the Spring season:

“Though April showers
May come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May”

…

So, as the lyrics from the song April Showers

further explains-

“And if it’s raining,
Have no regrets”

simply welcome Spring showers as a dress opportunity

to sport fun,  colourful, playful outwear-

symbolic of Spring’s uplifting ‘feel good’ influence.

Patchy Cake Eater: serving up menswear fashion fun for a/w 2015

Patchy Cake Eater

is a menswear label, launched in 2012 by Japanese designer

Shigeki Morino.

…

(image from francoiscavelier.com):

designer, shigeki morino, patchy cake eater

designer Shigeki Morino (l) and his assistant Soichiro Nakagawa (r)

…

The label name is indicative of the collection presented

at Tokyo Fashion Week,  a/w  2015-

patchwork fabrication, emotive of a feel good from ‘cake effect’.

…

 

The design aesthetics is an unique interpretative of a gender focus on fashion:

“(creating) the masculinity that a woman wearing men’s clothes exudes,

and (applying) it back to men’s fashion.”

It is a modern label with a modern design vision

which manages to be readily translatable from

runway fashion to everyday wear.

…

When asked at interview if he had any advice for other emerging designers,

Mr. Morino offered insight from his observations of recent runway presentations:

 

“… if I had to say one thing, it would be that some men’s runway shows here are deviating too far from something wearable. There has to be a balance between entertainment and what is represented should be able to be worn on the street.”
