With over 390
fashion shows that previewed their spring collections, it can be difficult to
pinpoint the top trends for the upcoming season. While we still have the cold
winter season to suffer though, luckily designers have given fashion lovers
something to look forward to. Here are some of the lust-worthy looks we can
expect to see for the Spring 2015 season.
A Taste For Transparent
It appears this
spring will be ultimate skin showoff as models march down the runways covered
in sheer fabrics. Alberta Ferretti showcased a number of sheer dresses with
strategically placed flowers creating a feminine yet daring look. A number of
designers including Lela Rose, Elizabeth & James, Oscar de La Renta and
Dolce and Gabbana also chose to bare briefs under see-through skirts.
Per’sueding’ The Public
Sporting suede
in the spring may sound like a sweaty disaster. However, this trend was widely
prominent in designer collections.
Designer Derek Lam showcased suede separates and patchwork pieces in
light muted tones suggesting a '70s vibe. Gucci made suede sexy, presenting
a stunning green dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit in addition
to a number of other suede pieces. Other designers who showed off suede include
Jason Wu, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren.
The Tummy Baring Top
Alas, the
fashion world is continuing to assure our abs are in top shape to pull off the
ongoing crop-top trend. Fortunately, designer brands including Tibi, Morra
Hoffman, and Cynthia Rowley are all pairing their version of the top with high-waisted
bottoms that help conceal bloated stomachs. Contrastingly, designers liked
Alexander Wang, Rag and Bone, and Marc Jacobs (who managed to craft a cropped
blazer-like top) paired their style with low-slung hip-hugging skirts.
White Out
While spring is
often a time where designers tend to include more colour in their collections,
many opted out of colour featuring head-to-toe looks in white. Victoria Beckham
featured crisp blank military-inspired sets while Donna Karan for DKNY took a
sportier approach with oversized mesh tops and clean white sneakers. Perhaps the
most visually stunning approach to this trend was done by Prabal Gurung. The
designer had multiple white layers in each outfit creating texture with white
ostrich feathers.
The Gingham Girl
Gingham is no
longer just a print to decorate your table with. A large number of collections
featured this picnic print in a multitude of colours. Diane Von Furstenberg
featured a number of girly dresses in the pattern in a variety of silhouettes.
Joseph Altuzarra’s pieces appeared conservative a first, but with added subtle
slits and low necklines the pieces appear tastefully provocative. Honorable
mention also goes to Michael Kors, whose pieces popped by using enlarged gingham
checks.
