The mother of all fashion written content, Vogue Magazine, first established in 1892, yes 1892, almost 130 years ago come this November, is persistent as they are every season, to upload their take on the upcoming fashion trends of that season in particular.
The Autumn Winter article which Not Pink is referring to in this entry was published last week accounting for the 10 A/W trends to look out for in 2022. So let's break 3 of Not Pink's favourites down, find some fitting pieces and make sense of our A/W wardrobe. Shall we ...
White Tank Tops, simple but effective.
Minimalist fashion is most definitely a 'thing of the now' these days, we see this effortless style executed all over social media and magazines every day, and so, White Tank Tops fall into this minimalist category seamlessly. Prada, Bottega Veneta and Bevza are just three of the brands which Vogue chose to include in this section of A/W trends for 2022. All of which present a similar cut of a white tank top yet it's presentation is very different. Prada chose to style their logo embossed white tank top with a multi-layered skirt. The white tank top drapes effortlessly and loosely over the waistband of the skirt. Bottega Veneta chooses a far more structured aesthetic with their scoop neck tank top as they tuck it in to a pair of mid rise denim jeans. Bevza, my favourite of all three, chooses the monochromatic route, exhibiting two off white tones in both the white leather trouser and white tank top. This, to me, is a fitting way to style a white tank top.
@imdanielsimmons on Instagram styles a basic white tank top so effortlessly and fashionably.
Vogue calls it 'return of the waist' and that we will call it too!
Fendi, Versace and Marine Serre are just three of the picks by Vogue included in this fashion trend section. Fendi demonstrates a preppy aesthetic with a blue/grey undertone shirt and a corseted grey unitard - the corset details are structured, linear and clean. Fendi has been a spotlight brand for many decades, it's refreshing to see this brand drift away from their FF motif and present a look like this one. I really love this one, it perfectly ties in with the merging of the Y2K and preppy look. Versace then took fashion week by storm as they dressed Miss Bella Hadid in an all red monochromatic outfit, clashing latex with boxy corsets, Donatella Versace understood the assignment with this one. Fendi showcased a linear and clean corset look, whereas Versace chose to execute their corset style in the technique of a V, still allowing for a tight structure, however, on the eye looks very different in comparison to Fendi, for example. Marine Serre's take on 'return of the waist' is so good, my favourite. Again, very different to both Fendi and Versace entirely, as they choose to merge layers, patterns and colour to contribute to the corseted illusion, so clever, ob-se-ss-ed.
Maxi drama, says Vogue, Maxi drama
Mini skirts are indeed still an obsession of the many today, however, maxi drama has made its presence clear on the runway ahead of the Autumn/Winter season this year. Vetements, No.12, Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Issey Miyake have all captured maxi extravaganza perfectly and here's why. Vetements depicts an all black monochromatic aesthetic, using a black bandeau and a black jersey material maxi skirt, not to forget the chosen accessories, a black balaclava and black platform boots - coming together to create a casual and comfortable look. Clearly shown on the image, the model can be seen resting her hands in the pockets on either side of the maxi skirt, furthermore, the thick waistband gives off the illusion of a pair of joggers. This one to me, is really cool, I love how the bandeau melts in to the skirt, to create an hourglass silhouette whilst still attaining that element of comfortability. No.12 with their pleated ecru maxi skirt provides the consumers to imagine a multitude of outfits through the many layers, colours and general taste of the runway look. This skirt would look minimalist paired with just the shirt, casual with only the jumper and striking with all these elements merged together. Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Issey Miyake are similar in terms of their chosen base colour yet their overall artistic execution is suited for two different occasions. Ludovic de Saint Sernin's maxi skirt is simplistic, effortless and loose. Issey Miyake, however, blends both structure and looseness with chic and comfort to create an elegant look.
A slightly different take on today's blog post, but I really enjoyed sharing Not Pink's take on Vogue's A/W fashion trends for 2022. I'd love to know which your favourite was and if you have any more thoughts.
