TREND REPORT: Sweet Emotion
Mary Fellowes • 07/30/2016
THE DEBRIEF:
Since whimsical maverick Alessandro Michele took the reigns at Gucci and turned the fashion world upside down, stylists and fashion lovers all over the world have been liberated from prevailing minimalism, and devotees of the Miu Miu and Margot Tenebaum world of irreverence have a whole other world of style to toy with. Play is the key word—there are no rules with this trend (which shows no signs of decelerating for pre-fall and fall). Unleash the inner child that loved to play dress up, mix and match to your heart’s content, be as expressive as you want, and then some. This is fashion where you dress for yourself and no one else.
STYLE NOTES: Keep the silhouette and shapes narrow as these pieces, whether all piled on together or used as flourishes, are bold enough.
The less sense the look makes, the better. The more playful it is, the fresher and newer it will feel.
Mix vintage, high street, and designer with carefree abandon.
BEAUTY NOTES:
Keep the makeup on the clean side—neutral tones or a smudgy dark rocker chick eye is as far as it should go.
The same goes for hair. The more ‘straight out of bed’ it feels, the better. This trend has a lot to say, so your beauty look can take a youthful back seat.
