Minimalism!

I am so incredibly excited about this trend that we will see in the fall of 2015. Oversized and very minimalistic outfits were shown by Stella McCartney, Nina Ricci and Veronique Leroy.

We have definitely seen this before – big time in the 1920’s in the United States. It was really interesting for me because in my research it says it was about masculinity and I think this is exactly what we are doing at this moment in time. We are so ready to break paradigm about who and what  people should wear. In this collections you can see how the coats, and the collection in general, are so big and boxy with a small and simple detail in the waist, and you can see it even being so big they are perfectly tailored for the model. I love that this trend is coming in right now when we are in a revolution where we want to be free and we don’t want people to tell us what’s for man and what’s for women.

I think we are going to see people wearing these collections in so many different ways because it is so minimalist that everyone can put their own style on it. For example, I would wear one off this coats with jeans for a casual outing or on top of a dress for a visit to the ballet. The dresses in the collections are a little more casual. Even though some are sparkling, you can dress them down and they would be perfect for more casual occasions.

The colors on these collections contain a lot of gray, navy blue, yellows and so, mismatch colors on the Veronique Leroy collection.
