Woman fashion: Fusion style
19Apr2006 Filed under: Fashion Author:
When you choose spring wardrobe for you and look at novelties in shops, remember about many important things in woman fashion - color spectrum, present silhouettes, leading trends, bright accessories, correspondence of all this magnificence to your own style
But peculiarity of this season is that you should definitely think about combinations of your cloth, as today this is of great importance for right choice of your own image. You know, almost half of most woman fashion trends are hidden in unexpected mixtures. Moreover, correct ratio of ingredients will give you a possibility to look stylish and fashionable with little expenses and efforts.Romance and minimalismIn principle, if you can orient yourself right although in ratio of these two styles, then this will be quite enough for you to correspond to a status of a stylish lady. Well, it is combination of so discrepant design fancies that is welcome both in business cloth and attires for leisure time. And border between them is so thin today that you can determine it not always.
How is it expressed? Mutual penetration, this, however, should correspond to rules of good taste. Say, a combination of a traditional strict skirt of a straight or slightly bell-bottomed silhouette to the lower part with a romantic blouse with frills is highly welcome. But frills should not remind of expansible jabots of Spanish aristocrats of Holy Inquisition by their quantity and volume.
So, we can bravely combine also classic straight trousers of male silhouette without any decor with chiffon, silk, organdie and lacy blouses. High stand-up collars with lacy trimming, lacy or tulle insets, embroidery, vertical and horizontal rows of flounces, balloon-sleeves - all this is in limits of business dress-code today together with light jackets. And if you have no strict dress-code on your work, then the above mentioned woman fashion style can be wonderfully combined with classic straight jeans - without any pastes, embroideries and additional seams.Properly, present striving to combine simplicity of minimalism and splendour of romance can be considered as some transitional variant from glamour, which ruled podiums for several years, to more reserved woman fashion forms.Power and weaknessA continuation of a main trend is the way leading designers introduce elements of male cloth in woman fashion today. It seems, nothing new can be invented here. You know, almost all objects of male wardrobe were rather offered to us in this or that form.
But present day difference of mixtures of male and female is in the fact that designers see that minimalism is the first one, and romance - the second. Hence we meet original interpretations. Not just male trousers, but surely in combination with light country blouses or snow-white Victorian blouses with mass of lacy embroidery. Not just male business suits of tweed, wool or thick cotton, but surely with additions in the form of lacy jabot, transparent lace, bow on neck or waist. Not just male hats, but surely made of delicate straw and with satin bands, bows . Our task is not to copy power and masculinity, but accentuate our weakness through these takings in woman fashion.
Play of textureThe same task is solved today by designers also while playing with various textures. Indeed, we will see no any bright innovations here. Say, leather (especially patent or elastic) always had an obvious shade of brutality. So its combination with the lightest chiffon, transparent tulle and cambric again displays opposition of power and weakness, and due to this contrast presents us a possibility to show new shades of a usual image.In general, taking a light list towards woman fashion
minimalism in this season and at the same time remembering naive sensuality of the fifties, leading Fashion Houses used leather in their creatures not very actively. However, this does not mean they refused from opposition and play of textures at all. They just often use more exotic materials.Say, in bags and even shoes, we can see a combination of thick silk with flower prints and goldish straw. Tweed, denim, soft leather also combines with smooth surface of silk interestingly. Even if you prefer more traditional variants in business cloth, you can use play of textures in accessories (bags, belts, shoes, gloves), this will add a light shade of romance to your image.Play of volumesWell, you should approach usage of this trend more carefully. Volumetric things are meant not for all cases at all. This is rather a challenge to a common opinion and even good taste. Big volumes look even more radical on the background of some slinky things. Properly, this can be considered as a display of a youth style.
If you are still ready to risk, remember, today there are no any restrictive barriers in woman fashion. You can add light trousers-cigarettes, tiny slinky shorts or a tight skirt with high cut from behind to volumetric top (say, very fluffy sleeves, slightly comic flounces and frills on breast). And you can add a slinky top and a tiny jacket-bolero to a fluffy multi-layer skirt or very wide bell-bottomed trousers. The main is to remember that such play of volumes distorts silhouette of your figure significantly.
Play of patternsProbably, it’s not a secret for anyone already that flower prints became topping in this season again - both large and small. Monochromaticism, indeed, is also welcome, but designers’ passion for dresses of all forms and cuts wakens also passion for flower prints inevitably.
Geometric patterns and black-and-white drawing are somehow left aside, but admirers of such prints also have opportunity to choose something from present woman fashion collections. Indeed, there’s one rule, which you should remember about: in this case try to use play of contrasts too.This means that things with bright geometric prints should be definitely in combination with monochrome items of wardrobe. If your blouse is with bright pattern, then skirt and trousers should be monochrome (black, beige or in tune with a main color of blouse). If prints play with all colors on your dress, then you should combine it with a light summer coat of a light delicate tint. Properly, this is just another variant of mixture of romance and minimalism in woman fashion. So, today you can see this trend almost everywhere.
