A bohemian mood was seen with many collections for Fall 2016 RTW. Long flowing dresses with ruffles, floral prints, and pattern mixes give a laid-back ease to this kind of dressing.
Fall 2016 RTW Trends: 3D
I love these sculptural pieces shown on the runway for Fall 2016 RTW. Some are actually 3D printed (Iris van Herpen) while others create the effect with volume sewn into the fabric or using an origami pleating (Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçon, and Noir Kei Ninomiya).
Trend: Red, White & Blue

Red, white, and blue was used in many collections for Spring 2016. Marc Jacobs did a complete collection in the trio of colors. While these looks may not be a homage to patriotism, they are a fresh take on a classic combo.

The 60’s “Mod” look could be seen interpreted in these designs for Spring 2016 RTW. Mini skirts or shifts, plastic-like fabrications, and op-art patterns all add to the look.
