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.

East coast cool: menswear collection- a / w ’15 by designer, Steven Alan

"NYC relaxed", "reverse seam shirt", classic design with modern details, men's knitwear, menswear - a/w 2015, scarf fashion, Steven Alan- designer, Steven Alan- label, twisted placket detail

American fashion designer

Steven Alan

is a bi-coastal:  living / working on both the west coast- Los Angeles

and the east coast- New York City, of the continental United States.

Yet, his sartorial aesthetics is definintely not a melding of dress directive

from each of these two fashion specific cities.

Rather, his design slant leans firmly towards an east coast,

NYC cool / carefree style.

…

(image from elle.com):

steven alan, designer, portrat, elle.com

designer, Steven Alan

…

Initially a retailer / curator for up and coming designers-

Steven Alan launched his eponymous label in 1999

having no formal training in fashion design.

What he did possess was a trained eye and a clear vision

to create clothing:  starting in menswear and later to include womenswear,

which is of traditional classic casual but with his own interpretive

of distinct, albeit subtle,  modern details.

His iconic reverse seam shirt is example of this creative approach:

button down

seams on the outside

stitched down collar

narrow breast pocket

body tailored

at a length to be worn untucked

and the singular detail-  a twisted placket

…

Trouser wear has been elevated to more than simply

a stand-alone garment staple.

It has been enhanced to trouser fashion status

by trend-setting pairings with other pieces.

 

…

Skirts over trousers have been spotted on the fashion radar.

The new twist is the combo of trousers with a split skirt

for fashion-forward appeal.

Anchor the look with trainers:   casual, cool, chic.

Complete comfort, a hint of the sensual for Fall ’14 : meet designer, Carin Rodebjer

autumn/winter 2014, Carin Rodebjer, casual-wear, Rodebjer - the label, womenswear

Designer, Carin Rodebjer creates pieces for

the woman who desires a look of casual comfort

with a element of subtle sensuality.

…

Her design perspective is involved and considers

a look, a feel, an attitude of being a woman.

She describes her aesthetics as a recognition of

“…how it feels as a woman. There have always been more dimensions to it than the actual look. It’s the feel … it’s holistic in a way.”   (quote from nymag.com)

…

(image from elle.se):

carin rodebjer, designer, portrait,

designer, Carin Rodebjer

…

 

Born in Sweden and now based in New York City,

Ms. Rodebjer launched her line in 1999.

Her collections are pitched to the mid-fashion range:

fabulous clothing at a price point achievable for most customers.

 

…

 

For her a/w  2014 collection,

Ms. Rodebjer remained true to her design objectives:

casual, sexy, comfort.

The outfits were anchored by sneaker fashion wear

which I loved-   Absolutely!

who has electrified the fashion stage with

her innovative prints, striking colour choices and

informed inspiration from works of art, photography and

Ms. Katrantzou’s recent project is an exciting collaboration

with mega sportswear giant, German multinational- Adidas.

Set for a long-term partnership, the inaugural

capsule collection, Adidas Originals by Mary Katrantzou,
