TRENDS: Our Favorite Cruise 2017 Looks (3)

Hi Guys,

The Cruise 2017 Collections have finally come to an end – sob – and we’ve gathered our favourite looks from the last set of designers to share with you.  There are some real stand-out pieces in this lot that have rivalled my preferred pieces from what we’ve seen so far – they just keep getting better and better!
With Versace going all galactic on us with the futuristic trend, Valentino transforming Bohemia into something significantly more glamorous, and Sonia Rykiel managing to bring Pirate & 60s influences together, you certainly won’t be short of ideas.  Go get inspired!
Marchesa
Marchesa’s flamboyant floral collection took us time travelling through the ages, with a particular lean towards the 20s.  An exciting mix of textures and techniques were used to give life to these pastel coloured ball-gown, embellishing them into true works of Art.  A few rockier pieces in black were thrown in for good measure, balancing out this stunning show with a rougher edge.

Moschino

Moschino brought us it’s usual carnival of colour.  Some incredibly creative pieces, with neons, crochet and an emphasis on the 70s and 80s eras.

TRENDS: Our Favorite Cruise 2017 Looks

Hey Guys,

Despite it seeming just yesterday that we were swooning over the shows at Paris Fashion Week, the Cruise 2017 collections have sailed round at top speed and are now upon us.  While we’re sad to see the back of those glorious pink Chanel suits, we’re not exactly complaining.  With a whole new set of looks to feast our eyes on, we’ve picked our best bits from the Designers who we’ve seen so far.  Let’s put it this way, you won’t be disappointed:
Chanel
Just when you thought they’d run out of ideas, Chanel has managed to reinvent itself once more. Alternative takes on classic looks, including black and embellished grey taffetas and chiffons led the first part of the show, while bright, textured, metallic tailored garments brought up the rear.

Gucci
Gucci’s collection was an explosion of colour, texture and pattern from start to finish, with eye-catching pieces, and a distinctive, retro vibe.

Red Valentino
Bringing a touch of softness to proceedings was Red Valentino, with muted tones, distressed and delicate fabrics and soft silhouettes.

Dior
Dior presented a fierce collection with a strong, masculine/feminine attitude. Over-sized, structured shoulder padded sleeves were mixed with flimsier fabrics, striking the perfect balance between the two trends.

Fendi
Fendi played with print in a fun, feminine way with influences from various origins.  Full, spanish skirts were mixed with Hawaiian prints resulting in a collection of regal, Mediterranean looks.

Christopher Kane
Also utilising bold print in his collection, Kane played with a geometric check print in a variety of ways.  Sequins and colour-clashing were mixed with duller tones to create an interesting modern take on some classic vintage styles.

Rochas
Geometric prints and structured shapes lead the way at the Rochas show.  These bold, masculine pieces contrasted the collection’s alter-ego of floral fabrics, lace, and joyful colours.

Oscar De La Renta

Renta’s show was the expectedly elegant, feminine collection of floaty florals and intricate embroidery that the designer is renowned for.  A few pieces leant towards the bohemian trend, while others adopted a vintage look from a different era, including a feathered 20s number.
