Bourgeois
After seasons of more conceptual fashion, a return to a style code with elegance at its core is shaped the capsules on the runway at Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2019-2020. Think the late 1970s and early 1980s bourgeois, refined silhouettes with skirt-cum-culottes, blazers, sharply pleated trousers, tailoring Shoulder pads
The signature 1980s look possesses infinite architectural potential. Make the shoulders the focal point of creativity, whether square, sharp or shamelessly voluminous.
Capes For those wishing to stay modern while firmly classic, the return of the cape is the answer, a chic (and comfortable) complement to both casual looks and eveningwear.
Neon
The neon trend lit up the runways this Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from the 1980s, rave culture and even the nuclear apocalypse as demonstrated at Marine Serre - bold colour-blocking is a given. It’s a blatant call for attention and reaction: “What do I want? To shock people, to force them to reflect,” said Yves Saint Laurent to Vogue in 1971 after the presentation of his notorious Scandale collection.
Pop feathers
For an assured sense of Hollywood’s golden era glamour, bright feathers are a tool to be used without reserve.
