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.

Picture perfect accessorising is the “zwugy” visual

of spring/summer fashion 2016.

(zwu’ gy:  means on-point ; rhymes with mo’ vie)

 

 

…

The looks that have fashion radar registered are neck adornments.

Of noteworthy mention is the choker / scarf combo presented on the

Christian Dior spring/summer ’16 runway.

Take the fashion cue and make it your own!

She progressed to show successfully her inspired creations around the world.

Throughout the decades, Ms. Koshino has won a number of awards for

her work in fashion and art.

 

It is then of no surprise, that her autumn/winter  ’16  runway presentation

was a visual treat, expertly melding:

 

style influences from various eras

mixed fabrication of luxe textiles

diverse print designs

avant-garde accessories (headwear, jewellery, tights)

…

In all, a ying yang vibe of complementary contrasts.
