1. The little white dress. In all of its variations, this dress continues to be a basic design throughout the world. “With its length at just above the knee and the combination of a metallic belt, any woman will feel sexy and fabulous,” says designer Adolfo Dominguez. The “little white dress” is certainly becoming this year’s new “little black dress”.
2. Tribal Look. Whether we are in the city, at a party or on the beach, we are all looking for an exotic touch to our style. Martin Lamothe proposes an extreme style, by attaching ceramic horns to skirts and blouses, but there are certainly softer options. For the beach, the best collection goes to Andres Sarda, who presented a set of bikinis and swimsuits combined with feather headbands and Egyptian style sheer dresses.
3. Fly with a cape. Juanjo Oliva, who won the award for best designer in the 54th edition of the runway, is the best artist to describe this motif. It’s not about looking like a “superwoman” to the rescue, however the cape is designed to add a bit of movement to the fancy dress worn underneath.
4. The neckline…from behind. Although the traditional front neckline is presented in almost all collections, I noticed the back view to be more subtle, refined and chic. Teresa Helbig captures this French looking trend perfectly in her display of dresses.
5. Return to innocence. Say goodbye to the “aggressive woman” look. The next season is full of flowery garments and softer colors.
6. The value of accessories. Here is where the designers bring important additions to their business. Designers go to the runway with thousands of accessories that will then directly arrive at the stores for customers to purchase.
7. Farewell to the color black. In times of trouble (especially in high temperatures) our closets should be filled with optimistic colors. Designer Davidelfín sure seems to thinks so, with his recent collection known as the “Color Explosion”.
