Retro nabbed a front row seat at London Fashion Week. Here’s our prediction of the hottest trends, most influential designers and best moments from the glam fest.
S
tudio 54’s ritzy, kitschy influence can still be seen on the catwalk but a softer, less edgy, 70’s autumnal breeze drifted through Somerset House as tan, burnt orange and mustard
yellow proliferated. With crushed velvet, tie-dye and lamé also making a comeback (actually when was lamé ever out of fashion?), Retro also glimpsed a widening of the trouser leg in a hint that flares are back, combined with groovy denim shir ts. Look out, the urban cowboy’s back! Tweed, corduroy and tartan are in vogue as the major heritage brands reinterpreted classic looks. Mulberry teamed up corduroy suits with long socks while more contemporary designers like Ashish went for edgier interpretations of plaid. But once again, Westwood was Queen V in Retro’s eyes with a wickedly cool depiction of Londoners using red, tartan prints and woolen pieces cut in trademark jaunty angles. Expect to see the flapper look back, particularly drop-waisted 1920’s dresses, which will also influence contemporary dress waistlines.
