Shoulders get bigger and jackets get shorter – exaggeration is the name of the game as puffed up sleeves and padded jackets make a comeback. Accentuated midriffs that are tied, knotted, cinched or belted, make a case for robe-like silhouettes through wrap jackets, blazers and dresses. Menswear-inspired garments take centre stage, channelling in a bold, independent ‘boss-babe’ vibe. In a nutshell, Fall/Winter 2017-18 is entirely about expertly executed collections that emphasize skilled craftsmanship that bring about historical references as inspiration for trends to come.
