FMB YEAR 1 - Trend Map - Transparency

Page 16

ON THE CATWALK During the February fashion weeks of 2018 many designers adopted the trend of transparency and exposed models nipples through sheer clothing, showing to support the feminist campaign . During London Fashion week, Isa Arfen sent a model down the runway sporting a mustard gilet with nothing underneath. The Uniform fashion show included many garments of a sheer, translucent fabric, some garments even exposing the models entire body. At Milan Fashion Week, the Philosophy show, presented a model sporting a high neck ruffled dress with her breasts very blatantly appearing through. Designer, Krizia, exposed the nipple beneath a sheer bold red polo neck dress. At Alberta Ferretti a sheer high neck blouse was worn by one of his models. (Hodgkin, 2018) So many designers opting to follow this trend could possibly reflect their feminist stance and highlight their attempt to portray the Zeitgeist within their clothing. As the movement was supported so heavily by celebrities and the general public it could also be inferred that these designers were jumping on the bandwagon in order to attract attention and grow sales.
