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.

One to watch! : meet designer, Jaeha-Alex Kim with a new take on trouser fashion for a/w 2016

'duckbill' trouser hem, Jaeha-Alex Kim - designer, New York Fashion a/w 2016, New York Fashion Week, signature garment, signature piece, trouser fashion, trouser hems, trousers, womenswear, womenswear designers

 

 

Designer, Jaeha-Alex Kim

was born in South Korea where he spent his formative years.

At age ten, his family immigrated to New Zealand.

Demonstrating a pronounced talent in fashion design

he presented his first collection at only 21 years old,

during New Zealand Fashion Week (2007).

 

 

…

designer,  Jaeha-Alex Kim

jaeha, designer , portrait, youtube

(image from youtube)

…

 

His collection was received with thunderous accolade and much media attention.

Jaeha- Alex Kim was hailed as a most promising talent:

a one to watch.

 

His design perspective is that of risk-taker:

innovative, inspired/inspirational.

Yet, his clothes have the welcomed quality

of wearability, of fashion access.

 

 

 

 

For New York Fashion Week,  a/w  2016,

he presented a collection true to his spirit of inventiveness

featuring a modern silhouette to trouser design, which

draws the eye down to new point of interest on the garment:

the hem redefined.

 

 

 

‘Hemmed’ in

 

 -a trouser focal point of long length sculptural intention

-hems that lay flat across the shoe

in a shape reminiscent of a ‘duckbill’

 

 

Incorporate the ‘duckbill’ trouser hem into your

a/w 2016  wardrobe as signature piece:

A fashion collaboration: design label Rodarte partners with high street store, & Other Stories

'70s fashion inspiration, design collaboration, Rodarte, Rodarte X & Other Stories, spring 2016

 

Sibling design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy

the creative force of fashion label

Rodarte

has collaborated with high street shop

& Other Stories

on a Spring 2016 capsule collection, available in store from March 2016.

 

 

…

Sister Act

designers, Kate and Laura Mulleavy

rodarte, portrait, sisters, instyle.com

(image from instyle.com)

 

 

…

Known for their feminine, fantastical, forward design aesthetics,

the Mulleavy sisters create clothing of whimsy

not necessarily for the faint of heart.

Their work with & Other Stories produced clothing which stays true

to the Rodarte brand,

yet offers options of versatility in wearability and fabrication.

…

Staying within the current retro resurgence

(evident in the Rodarte s / s  ’16 runway offering)-

there is a definite ’70s vibe to the collab collection:

shine / sparkle:  cue the lurex and sequins

inviting /  tactile:  feel the faux fur, velvet and silk

…

The Rodarte brand has amassed an A-list celebrity clientele.

Now due to teaming with & Other Stories

(part of the family of stores under the H & M umbrella)

their clothing will reach a wider audience of fashion statement makers.

…

The sister’s Spring collection 2016

which walked the runway during New York Fashion Week,

gives hint of the flavour expected of the high-street

partnership with & Other Stories.

…

To whet the fashion appetite:

Rodarte, s / s  2016

On runway

And scene:  That ’70s show:

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana

the design duo of the eponymous label Dolce & Gabbana (D & G)

are known for their distinctive design directive:

 

 

 

inevitably ornate

whimsical

often quirky

colourful

sometimes inspired by historical/cultural references

textural

stunning fabrication

 

 

 

 

never subdued, or one-dimensional

a bit of the wild, weird and delightfully wonderful.

 

 

For their a/w  2016 menswear collection, D & G presented overcoats

with more than a hint of  ‘Grizzly Adams’ fashion flair:

super-size oversized and faux fur overflow

for much tactile comfort and necessary warmth against

the winter chill.

 

 

 

…

 

 

Leg-wear notes:

close-fit knit trousers and faux fur full ‘Buffalo’ trousers
