ON THE ROAD

Who knew the comfort of bomber jackets would bless us this season. The hint of daredevil biker attitude is an inkling towards a countryside hike that was long forgotten in the past. Those jackets over a dress are the new cool, we can say.

LIKE A QUEEN

Feel like a superhero yet? Because these capes are on the mission to make it all quintessential for the season. Gone are the days of floor-length mantles that followed one around like a pet, it’s all about the style of donning a thigh-length and a waist-length cape.

CHECK IT OUT

Cross patterns cover all possible timelines because they were here, are still balancing the strong fashion traits and we don’t want them to go anywhere. Well, one may say that true love is a myth but fashion has fallen in unconditionally for chequered patterns, transparently describing it as a forever kind of thing.

DOT TO DENIM

With all the air of respect, nothing ruled the ramp as consistently as denim did. From old school Givenchy denims to the coolest touch of Chloé, it felt like a time-travel story of the fabric in the season.

FLOWERS BEFORE FALL

Florals in pre-fall? Feel the nature’s plush. The craze of florals took the season to bloom on another level. Be it the Gucci signature or the delicacy of Zuhair Murad, the freshness was enthralling.

THE PRINTS

Did you manage to have bottoms up in prints yet? Because they are coming from top to bottom this season. This alluring alliance of regal and prints might go a long way as all-over-prints ruled the runway from Giambattista Valli to Roberto Cavalli.

SWEET AND SASSY

We need to borrow this feeling of bold and beautiful from the ramp for a while. Forget that all rugged biker or a delicate darling touch, these leather dresses are beyond that horizon. Even Chanel, Michael Kors, and Fendi took care that they offer both pretty and sexy.

FOLD IT OVER

The illusion within the folds is enchanting, on stage charm of pleated skirts is a successful experimentation which was encouraged by luxury brands like Fendi, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen and many more.

IN IT, FOR IT

Keeping it a level up when bringing the inside glamour out is a task well done this season. These slip dresses paint the sensual and classy on the same page. From Givenchy to Victoria Beckham, it’s all about getting ready for the party.

SOCIAL STRIPES

Either horizontal or vertical, stripes are not leaving the runway till the end of fashion. Stepping aside from our expectation of boring lines every season, designers took care of keeping the tale on with the play of interesting colour and size stories.

POWER IN SUITS

We have heard of power coming with a responsibility but since we are browsing in the world of fashion, lately, power is coming with the suits you can’t afford to skip on the ramp. They did complete justice to the elegant words like smart and chic.

DANCING LENGTHS

Balmain, Au Jour le Jour, Burberry Prorsum and many more brands are plotting a point of making everyone fall in love with tassels and fringes. It’s a joyous emotion to ride along with the dancing movement of strands on your ensemble.

THE SKIN SHOW

A get-set-go for warm and snugly comfort in the season. It doesn’t get cosier than this, when everyone from Givenchy to Zuhair Murad is in favour of textured skin overcoats. Not just the solid skins but the story of texture on them, takes it to the higher measure of fascination.

VELVETY TOUCH

The time when it all went royal to the level of velvet. The closely woven fabric took the season by elegance, be it Barbara Bui or Miu Miu, it all came to the softness of the enticing material and its regal notion.
