THE ’80S
If femininity isn’t your style, rest
assured, because the ’80s power suit is
back with a vengeance to kick Barbie
Doll’s derriere!
Lanvin
showcased large
shoulders and a tucked-in waist with a
subtle Asian touch to his tailoring.
Match this styled suit with a sheer shirt
to expose a little peak of an
undergarment… maybe that expensive
boutique piece you’ve been convincing
your partner to buy for the honeymoon?
Jean Paul Gaultier
showcased an ’80s
collection inspired by the era’s icons,
including Sade, Annie Lennox, David
Bowie, Michael Jackson, Boy George and
Grace Jones. Not an appropriate look for
your day? Why ever not..?
’60S AND GEOMETRY
In the warmer weather will you – and your
bridesmaids – want to be swathed in
clingy full-length satins and silks?
Chanel
,
Louis Vuitton
,
Alexander
McQueen
and
Chloe
have sent a
collection of swinging ’60s models down
the catwalk in classic mod and baby doll
cut dresses adorned with geometric
squares, stripes and block patterning.
Cut yourself loose from the usual
identical bridesmaid kit by choosing a
pastel mod-style dress. It’s light, smart,
tailored and – rather importantly! –
suits all figures. What could
encapsulate your fresh, beautiful
spring wedding better than the vitality
of the 60s?
SHEER AND SHINE
This season will be infused with a ’90s
flashback. Among the many looks flooding
the catwalk is the glimmer of metallic
materials and sheer shimmering fabrics.
Silver is a daring, yet subtle, way of
blending the stark contrast between black
and white.
We have seen many designers adopting
this, including
Simone Rocha
and
Dolce and
Gabanna
, with their metallic leather skater
skirts, bright green metallic tunic tops and
reflective see-through skirts.
But for your special day our favourites for
this season include a silver fitted dress from
House
of Fraser
or this neat suit from
Hobbs
’ Invitation
collection – elegance and sophistication combined
with affordable tailoring, and an original take on
classic wedding style.
This year fashion is giving you a free pass to
express your individuality. So grab the
opportunity and make an entrance!
