FASHION WEEK ’16 – A FEW TRENDS PREDICTED SO FAR
New York & Milan Fashion Week ended a couple of weeks ago and Paris Fashion Week is still going at this moment, but what have we learnt so far that is being predicted for what we will be wearing in 2016? Well, it seems that fashion more and more is being challenged and influenced by social media outlets such as Instagram but there is still a lot of great beautiful fashion coming out of fashion week with pieces that designers are taking our breaths away.
As mentioned in one of my previous posts #IAMNYFK – Being True to Yourself, the fashion industry is now finally noticing and taking a stand about all different kinds of beauty that exists in our world. No longer are we just seeing the beautiful, tall and very thin models on the runway and on the covers of every top fashion magazines from around the world.
IF I LIKE IT, I WEAR IT - I MAKE IT MY OWN
Here are a few trends predicted that I’ve personally selected to help give you a head start on updating your wardrobe. There is no need to wait until the actual seasons to start wearing them! Go do it now!
My motto has always been: “If I like it, I wear it – I make it my own!”
So go ahead and create your own sense of style and just OWN IT!

The 80’s are back BUT in a different way! Romance, layering, femininity and softness are the main key players, with intricate details also a focus. Go minimal, structured tiers or just go for it all! Dresses, skirts and/or shirts with ruffles are on trend.
Rag & Bone – Slip dress
That’s right, the 90’s slip dress is back in fashion! Kate Moss (one of my favorite all-time supermodels) who made it an iconic style, the slip dress has come back in trend for this season. Rag & Bone have taken the iconic dress to another level, keeping it to the classic signature style but with an extra street style edge. Love!
Burberry – The Baby Banner mini tote bag’ – SS16
The handbag of the moment is the mini tote bag. It’s chic, its’s cute and it’s very now. Go back to the minimal essentials.
Calvin Klein – Fall/Winter 2016
Everything in all black is back in trend again this season and Calvin Klein showcased that during New York Fashion Week for his fall/winter 2016 line.
Diane Von Furstenberg – SS16
Another trend taking over fashion week has been pleats. This sort of style can easily be dated quickly but the designers this year have made it just modern enough by keeping the pleats small and simple.
