[ TREND + PRINT REPORT ] AARYN WEST STUDIO

Today's post [ TREND + PRINT REPORT ], is from FV print and fashion contributor AARYN WEST of Aaryn West Studio based in Los Angeles, California. Go here, to check out their website. 

Below are their some of her Fall 2015 Runway Trend inspirations: Mixed Media, Geometric Stripes and Nouveau Floral along with their print backgrounds.

     MIXED MENSWEAR    

There seems to be something invariably more masculine about Fall prints than in the Springtime. This patchwork mash-up of traditional menswear motifs is the perfect example of that notion. Staying within a limited color palette and keeping your print elements small will allow for maximum harmony in this mixed print trend.

     GEOMETRIC STRIPES     

Clean geometric shapes are carefully arranged and layered in these densely packed stripes for Fall 2015. While it may sound a little generic at first, we find it to be quite a versatile trend. Throw a few Moroccan or African elements in for a tribal feel, or take a more optical approach for a Memphis vibe. You could even have it merchandise with your 70’s group by adding in a simple and clean daisy shape to one of rows in your stripe.

      NOVEAU FLORAL     

Take a more simplified approach to your Fall floral designs, as seen here with these stylized Art Nouveau inspired motifs. One delicately detailed flower is repeated throughout the design in a simple, yet compact, layout, which keeps the eyes moving but doesn’t overwhelm the viewer. We actually see it as a subset of a larger Fall 2015 trend rooted in Interior Design, which we’ll explore further a little later on in our review of Fall collections.

Athletic Vibes

Being comfortable is really a luxury. I feel the most relaxed when I wear a pair of sneakers and a pair of baggy jeans, but I also love wearing heels, dresses and skirt. Of course it's difficult to have it all and heels are not always the most comfortable, especially after 10 hours of work. Well it's good that there are fashionable and comfortable garments that both looks and feels good. These track pants from the H&M Studio collection is definitely one of those. They have a track suit feeling to them but still looks like pants. I would probably not wear a pair of Adidas track pants with a pair of heels as they for me are associated to my days as a football player. But these pants have just the right amount of sports and fashion combined.

See you soon :)

Suited Up

Happy Monday guys! Didi you have a nice weekend? Here the spring has arrived and my spring jackets have finally got to see the sunlight. Even though I lived in Barcelona for almost four years I get equally surprised every year when the temperatures switches from cold to warm in just one day. Well I'm not complaining :) The weekend was spend enjoying the sun and yesterday it was a special edition of the vintage market Lost & Found. Well I didn't find anything this time but it was nice to have a look.

Today's outfit is all about tailoring and jewellery. As the accessory freak I am I got really excited when I was introduced to this Miami based brand Maryjane Claverol. Gorgeous colourful statement necklace that definitely will add spice to your look. For me the accessories are the final touch to my looks, the missing link that connects my garments together and this jewellery brand definitely has that effect!

See you soon :)

Brown Tones

Happy Saturday Guys. Anything fun planned for tonight? I'm going to watch my friend playing at a bar in Eixample. Really like her music so it's going to be fun. In a bit I'm heading out to enjoy the beautiful weather but before that I wanted to show you today's boho look consisting of a vintage suede vest that I have had for ages, a 70's inspired dress from Zara with beautiful lace details at the chest and my leather pants that I found on sales.

I wish you a great weekend!

TRENDS // ECLECTIC TRENDS - GUDY HERDER - SOFT CANDY COLOR TREND . SS 2015

From our FV contributor, Gudy Herder of Eclectic Trends who is based in Barcelona working as an Interior Stylist, Trend Observer and Trainer. Her website Eclectic Trends is full of interior and trend inspirations, http://eclectictrends.com.


Here is her latest S/S 2015 color trend and you can view the entire report here.

Dear Fashion Vignette readers, it’s Gudy again from Eclectic Trends, and I like to share a pretty ‘sweet’ post with you today. For all of you who might have thought, pastel colors are dated, please see a few impressions and predictions on how pastels have evolved now. They are featured both in a more vivid way or get really chalky but pastels are definitely not disappearing but rather get slightly more ‘mature’. Would love to hear your thoughts! Warmly, Gudy

I have recently deleted my pastel color board on Pinterest with pins gathered since 2013 since I felt it was quite dated. But to my surprise pastel colors are on rise again. They were really huge a couple of years ago, and you find today two pastel trends which are a) a more velvety powder look and b) vivid pastel colors.

The main difference is two new colors which are geranium and lavender (the corresponding Pantone codes are linked) you see in this first grid(#3 and #5).

This color trend has been eventually called Soft Pop and is forecasted with similar images for S/S 2016 by other great experts such as WGSN. I do see the candy colors already for this year and believe they are still actual next summer with probably a slight move towards more vivid tones. This season they are still pretty chalky (if you search for a nice chalk paint brand, try Auténtico - the color palette is really beautiful) and often muted.

What makes this trend so interesting is the fact that these colors are applied to pretty much any creative field. I have stated on the keywords sum up nine of them but could easily add another three like flower styling, hair (beauty would the then refer to cosmetic only) and jewelry.

Pastel colors used to be applied to rather playful designs often with a touch of humor or even created with a pretty kitsch approach. But the change towards a much more sophisticated design is probably the major novelty here.

Pastel colors started already getting more ‘mature’ last year when paired with a neutral background, different shades of gray or even black (that would be a different post though).

What is really huge are pastel hair braids, wigs and anything around pastel-colored hair.

Pale pink is the one that stays fresh every single year and has been adopted to men collections too. We start seeing a transformation towards unisex colors meaning there is no specific lady or gentleman color but both gender openly share. Well, this is what we observe on some fashion shows but we might still have a lengthy path ahead of us to make that a reality. Thoughts? G, x
