Camper Fall Campaign

I love the new Camper fall campaign. The gif images and styling are unexpected, hip, and perfect for social media. See it for yourself at: https://goo.gl/SWaoIY

Fall 2016 RTW: Fur

PETA’s influence on the fashion establishment paled this fall with the abundance of fur seen on the runway. Animal printed furs, shearlings, mink, fox, as well as faux furries were all represented.

Fall 2016 RTW: Shoulders

Not since the 80’s have we seen such a surge of the big shoulder. It’s not about “power dressing” this time around. It’s all about the silhouette and a means to give new shape to this generation.

Fall 2016 RTW: Ladies of the Canyon

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).
