You may be wondering why we are already talking about next years fashion trends while we are only just going into 2017 summer, but as fashion is always 2 seasons ahead, and Prada and Chanel have just had their resort collection, it would be a pity not to talk about it.
For those of you who do not know, the Resort collections that you see many fashion houses have, refers to 'a holiday or travel collection', this being the reason it is sometimes called a Cruise Collection. It is meant to be for wealthier customers who travel all year round, and are in need of a lighter summer wardrobe for their travels during winter months.
With summer ahead and holidays approaching, there is no harm in taking early inspiration from the Spring / Summer 2018 resort collection for your vacay outfit planning. Last week we saw both Chanel and Prada show off their collections and bellow are the bits that caught my eye the most...
Chanel
Karl Lagerfeld stepped back from future and space inspiration and took on a "modern mythology" theme, embracing Ancient Greek's beauty and culture. With Greek ruins as a catwalk and the clothes truly embracing a goddess theme, my favourite part of this walk is the lack of celeb models such as Kendall and Gigi, as Chanel has tried to go back to a purer times which includes the models.
Gold Is The Theme - Picture one is by far my favourite outfit from the whole walk, as from head to toe it is stunning, ready to wear and the pieces compliment each other so well. I am in love with the gold bold sunglasses as well as the cream trousers that have a subtle hint of pattern. I feel like Zara will truly embrace these looks as they tend to create beautiful cream and white clothing as well as embroidery, which has already been seen this year. Despite pictures 1 and 2 embracing the embroidery theme, I specifically chose picture 2 for the knot detail and cut out side dress! Knots are already very much in this season with many summer playsuits as well as the deconstructed shirt trend. I recently found a tie front playsuit from ASOS that i am in love with which embraces the cutout/tie style, see here.
Last but not least my favourite from picture 3 is the embrace of metallic gold, combined with a co-ord, picture 3 has given me major festival inspiration as a metallic bold skirt is deffo going to be worn. Topshop have recently brought out a pink metallic skirt that I am dying for, especially for festivals and nights out this summer, click here to see. As well as these few looks, Lagerfeld also took on crochet, macs and weaved pieces, however it is safe to say that the Chanel walk has made me want to invest in some neon lace up heels and to dig out the alice band again!
Prada
Prada spring / summer resort collection was very thought out, as the looks match the settings. The room was lit with a pink-hue, black, pink and white benches lined the centre, and huge windows showing off the industrial surroundings of the Fondazione Prada Osservatorio. As for the clothes, Prada stuck with the same colour themes and embraced a sporty yet still, overly girly touch.
Any More Pink - Just from a first glance, Prada used many materials, from shirts, sequins, feathers, mesh and pleats, this pretty much sums up the catwalk. Picture one is of course a favourite, as the crisp white shirt is a must to everyones wardrobe, but the added mesh detail, more importantly the pink mesh detail, is amazing and deffo something I will be embracing this summer and most likely next summer. Secondly, picture two has me feeling a lot of things, as the silver metallic sequin skirt is the key piece... this skirt has gave me major festival inspiration. Fashion bloggers such as Sarah Ashcroft embraced the sequins at the Coachella just gone, as she wore a Lipsy London pink sequin dress, see here.
As for picture 3, I am loving the juxtaposition of a sporty jacket and mesh pleated skirt, adding to a sport/girly look. Pleats were a big trend last summer and I have a feeling that they will make an appearance once again!! Id be very happy for this to happen so I can pull out my pink Topshop pleated trousers again. If you haven't noticed already all the models wear plaited hair and knee high sports socks which adds to the overall sporty, with a touch of pink girly look.
