Nineties Youthquake
Fall 2016 is going to smell (and look) a whole lot like teen spirit. Synonymous with grunge, tattered sweaters and loose and baggy silhouettes, the early nineties experienced a major revival on the runways this week. Nineties youth culture — heavily influenced by alterna-rock and urban music — inspired designers to revisit their childhood through their collections. We’re obsessed with pieces from Coach 1941's salute to old school hip-hop (à la LL Cool J) and Raf Simons' rough-around-the-edges ode to collegiate style. This trend popped up everywhere including in the collections of Astrid Andersen, MSGM and Etro.
On the Right Track
Track jackets are gearing up for a major comeback. Their return is a result of the athleisure trend colliding with the fashion world’s recent interest in nineties style. Unlike a varsity or bomber jacket, a track jacket can easily be layered under heavier outerwear. Given how schizophrenic our weather patterns have been, they’re the perfect transition piece for your wardrobe.
Metallica
Versace’s head-to-toe silver ensemble may not be for the feign of heart, but a subtle pop of metallic can give any outfit an extra edge. Italo Zucchelli at Calvin Klein sprinkled his brand’s signature collection with hints of gold layered under coats and jackets. This trend is manageable in small doses — pairing metallic footwear and other accessories with a monochromatic ensemble will do the trick. Metallics also ruled at Z Zegna and Katie Eary, among others.
