Fashion forward owner of Manuka’s Momento, Ros, sets the agenda for the coming spring season trends, showing us how easy it is to turn the side walk into your very own runway.
“We might be in the depths of winter, but here’s a little preview of summer 07/08 and it’s going to be hot, hot, hot, thanks to sexy shots of starburst bright colours and outrageously short frocks. Leggings in every colour are suitable companions for many of the super short looks. Key trends for the season include…”
Metallics
Metallics are by far the hottest look for the season and are guaranteed to be everywhere, in matte and modern silver and gold, fluid jersey stretch fabrics or crushed metallic cotton blends – tops, tunics or dresses for day and evening.
Sports Lux
A luxurious twist on the traditional athletic look. The unique combination of cool urban pieces in timeless and elegant fabrics makes this trend a predicted favourite. Summer trench coat/jackets will be “must haves” – from coloured linens to traditional natural colours.
Romantic White
New modern take on the style, the romance is still there, but the shapes are more simplistic. It is now all about voluminous sleeves and skirts, crisp cotton lace, raw edged smock dresses and beautiful ruffles. Coloured embroidered floral patterns and crochet inserts are folk inspired looks that have proved very popular overseas.This new look is being called “FOHO”!
Prints
Summer frocks are stamped with a multitude of prints, from striking graphics that provide a unique and vibrant look with a retro feel to the ever classic flirty florals.
Bold Bright
Colour – Everything from magenta to acid yellow, cobalt blue and fire red are strong trends for the season, teamed with black or beige for a crisp clean look.
Accessories
Metallics are again featured here with the majority of shoes and handbags being either silver or gold. And the best news of all – Flats shoes are still very much in fashion.
