FASHION

In September/ October of last year; New York, London, Milan and Paris witnessed the exclusive and fresh new collections for spring/summer of this year from different designers around the globe. This year’s spring summer fashion weeks witnessed a round of awe-inspiring shows from catwalks such as Topshop Unique in London to Alexander Wang in New York. 

As seen at Paris Fashion Week, one of the designers, I personally admire; Balmain due to their magnificent shows, presented a beautiful new and unique spring summer line, still incorporating their iconic intricate beading detail and prints into items such as skirts and over-sized jackets. Another intriguing thing about Balmains show at Paris Fashion Week was the make-up choices for the models on the runway. The make-up artist for this show created a ‘barely there’ minimal look, making them appear natural and healthy, which in my opinion, was a great and revolutionary move.

Having presented their new lines for spring, months before, its now the time of year for the   designs and ideas to come into stores worldwide. One noticeable feature making its way back for another summer is floral prints and lace which is appearing in not only catwalks but  everyday stores which are accessible and affordable for everyone. Inferring from the new collections, more things that’ll look great this spring are fresh, pastel coloured items and also bold patterns. It is evident that the essentials for this season is a cute jacket and pretty hair accessories.
