If rules were meant to be broken, what happens when there are no rules?
The only thing that London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks appeared to have in common was that each designer and influencer had a different take on next seasons trends. Never has style diversity been so celebrated in so many bold and beautiful incarnations.
PVC made a comeback at Fendi, Prada went neon, Chloe gave 50 shades of brown, Gucci’s ode to an experimental Italian film defied classification and then there was the footwear -cowboy boots, ankle boots, knee highs, sneakers, slingbacks and stilettos and the Prada flame sandal could easily have doubled as art from a Warhol collection.
Fashion has been liberated by individualism; wear anything and look modern. It’s a rare moment in time when there are no rules or boundaries and this hasn’t happened across all categories of clothes and accessories in decades. There is no one defining theme, cut, colour, fit, length, width, texture or print and while it’s comforting to follow trends, how marvellous that we can finally wear fashion questionables that have been tucked down the back of our wardrobes, just waiting for this moment in time.
