TREND REPORT AUTUMN/WINTER ‘18/19
Letter from the Editor Momma used to always tell me that “history just repeats itself” whenever I became invested in a new trend. As I began my studies of the fashion industry, I quickly began to realize that she was correct. These autumn/winter ‘18/19 trends all stem from various parts of past decades, but in true industry fashion, they feature modern and uniques twists. Whether it’s through fresh silhouettes or interesting textiles, fashion can always keep us on our toes regardless of where inspiration may be borrowed, and these following trends are no exception.

SWEET PEA FOLK-WEAR NOT ONLY TAKES INFLUENCES FROM DIFFERENT DECADES (1700’S TO THE 70’S), BUT FROM DIFFERENT PLACES AROUND THE WORLD SUCH AS RUSSIA, ASIA, MEXICO, AND MANY MORE. THIS FOLK TREND FOCUSES ON THE FLORAL EMBROIDERY AND PATTERN THAT STEMS FROM SLOVAKIA, A BRIGHT MIX OF MOTIFS THAT HAVE BEEN APPEARING SINCE AS EARLY AS THE 16TH CENTURY. THESE COLORS ARE INSPIRED BY TRADITIONAL FLOWERS THAT CAN BE SEEN WITHIN MANY SLOVAKIAN EMBROIDERIES.

GYPSY ONCE A STYLE WITH VERY ECLECTIC PIECES AND WHIMSICAL ATTITUDE, BOHEMIAN FASHION HAD BEGAN TAKING A VERY CALMING APPROACH. HOWEVER, IN RECENT SEASONS, BOHO STARTED BECOMING MORE INTRICATE WITH ITS HEAVIER WEIGHTED TEXTILES, RICHER COLOR STORIES, AND ABUNDANCE OF INTRICATE ACCESSORIES. THIS COLOR PALETTE WAS INSPIRED BY THE NEW BOHO: A DEEPER EMOTION THAT IS ALMOST AS IF GOTH MET HIPPIE.
