TRENT REPORT
BLOOM TOWN
It’s time to flower-up. Having appeared on a whole host of
catwalks, we’re calling floral as the print of the season.
The dominant motif of the Spring season was a tropical floral.
BLOOM TOWN
SOFT POWER
Say good-bye to the stiff power suit. The new tailoring emphasized fluid
lines, softer fabrics, longer jackets, and looser pants.
MID-CENTURY MODERN
The look of the fifties—and, to a slightly lesser extent, the forties—
influenced the collections in Milan and Paris this season with the high
waists and spread collars of fifties casualwear but updated them with
painted-on details.
BLUE PERIOD
The color of the season, full gradient of blue tones, raw indigo blue, engineering prints.
THE TUNIC
Tunic dressing with new look, with periodic resurgences , floral prints, long placket,
digital prints, sporty look, nineties-leaning street wear-, oversize tee shape, Asian
kurta.
