The latest buzz from the style frat has everyone noticing how the shoulders of garments are getting a shapely makeover. From the sleeves to the neck, there have been a lot of interesting experiments by high street brands and designers on not just the runway couture but even pret lines. From different cuts, structuring and fabrics, there has been great detailing seen in the appearances of many fashionistas and actresses. Here's looking at some of the trends that have made an appearance in the recent months on the style calendar and promise to stick on for some more time.
Architectural patterns
One of the most prominent transition of modern fashion sensibilities from the runway to the streets is of shapely architectural patterns. While shoulders have always seen droopy, lazy patterns and cuts traditionally, especially when it comes to formal clothing, dresses, especially those for red carpet appearances, have seen a drastic change.
From voluminous sleeves to abstract geometric patterns to inventing some of the classic styles like the bell, there has been an increased awareness and detailing when it comes to these dresses lately. This play of designs has added a new dimension, quite literally, when it comes to red carpet and other appearances of many actresses in the West, as well as in India.
The inspirations for these remodelled shoulders have been many, from Japanese origami to post-modern architecture designs to even natural landscapes, these patterns are literally cascading into the design rooms and eventually into the market.
Architectural patterning has lent its inspiration to both the sleeves as well as necklines. So, dresses, tops and jackets have all been subjected to a sprightly new avatar.
Fabric play
It isn't just in the patterns and the structuring but also in the detailing paid to the choice of fabrics that has added variety. Ideas like sheer blocking have taken precedence over the use of a single fabric and many designers and brands have now opted to use sheer for the shoulders. It isn't just sheer that is commonly used for these new adventurous shoulder patterns. The idea of playing with soft juxtaposed with crisp fabrics seems to be quite popular too. From cottons to silk to satin, there have been many fabrics that have lately lent their qualities to this trend on the fashion map. Interestingly, this isn't just in the Western outfits but Indian couture too has undergone that multi-fabric transformation, especially in the case of sari blouses and ghagra tops.
With this increased emphasis, stylists are shouldering more responsibility, literally!
1. Naomi Harris sports a white dress, which has stiff, well-structured shoulders, with the collar standing stiff.
2. Olivia Palermo's traditional jacket gets a very androgynous makeover with the use of menswear fabrics. This adds shape to the shoulders.
3. Joey King sports the hottest fabric of the season, sheer, giving retro sleeves and shoulders a modern twist.
4. In her recent appearance, Chitrangda Singh sported this blue outfit, where the sleeves were styled in a rather edgy design.
Peek-a-boo, say actors on the red carpet
Ahot new trend that's emerged lately on the red carpets in Hollywood is of actresses sporting short numbers with peep holes. Recently, a host of them have been giving their good ol' LBD a sexy twist. Playing with statement pieces and wearing their hair up in order to show off the bare backs, has ensured that the glamour quotient has only been upped in recent times.
Embellished patterns go lifesize
Recently, when actress Rinko Kikuchi attended the premiere of her latest, people noticed two things. Firstly, the two long slits showed that the actress can carry off a uber sexy avatar. Th second, and the more prominent, trend was the embellishments. The jewellery motifs that were embellished on the outfit is worth noting and adapting.
