Trendstop: Key Print Trends from the Fall/Winter 2016-17 Catwalks

Fresh from the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris, the Trendstop catwalk team bring you the latest trends manifesting in ready-to-wear for the Fall/Winter 2016-17 season. The Trendstop trend experts follow every new collection to analyze the latest developments and most exciting innovations, distilling this research into our in-depth catwalk reports.

Print is one of the key components of Trendstop’s ready-to-wear catwalk analysis, dissecting every aspect of all-over patterns and graphic placements to pinpoint the exact stylization, motifs and colour usage which ensure successful products. This week, our blog readers can get a first look at three essential trend directions for print from the catwalks, as womenswear patterns evolve with an array of statement all-overs and graphic placements.


EASTERN DREAMS

Eastern influences continue to come through strongly for Fall/Winter 2016-17, this time on show with a surreal aesthetic for a playful, youthful appeal. Large-scale graphic placements take the form of stylised tigers and fantastical reptiles, while elegant floral or cherry blossom patterning is subverted with stripe mixes or decon-recon surfaces.


CAREFREE OUTLINES

Womenswear products become a canvas for creative expression, as linear lines create simple yet striking patterns. Abstract aesthetics inspire a look of continuous line drawing in stark monochrome colourways, while conversationals and repeats are stripped back with fine outlines.


INSPIRED BY PUCCI

Inspired by Emilio Pucci’s iconic butterfly motif, womenswear take a contemporary graphic direction for fall. Butterflies are blown up with oversized proportions, creating elegant, curvilinear surfaces that offer a feminine take on blocking. Meanwhile, strong outlines, pop colours and mishmash patterning underline the modern mood.

TRENDS // ECLECTIC TRENDS - EARTH COLOR TREND . 2015/16

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 2015/16 color palette trends and you can view the entire report here.

Dear Fashion Vignette readers,

Today I’d like to share with you one of my favorite color palettes for 2015/16. I did an interesting exercise the other day in my moodboard masterclass and asked my students what they would sense in one word when seeing the tactile mood board displayed on the wall. 

Their spontaneous answers were:  ancestral, organic, serene, feminine, glam, back to the roots, sienna, Marroc, tribe vibe, skin, basic, natural, sand and storm, desert, monk, tribe vibe…you see, that’s why I love this trend so much:)

Hope you enjoy it too!! 

Warm regards, 
Gudy


For 2015 the two major color forecast companies Pantone and AkzoNobel had predicted a color with a warm and natural background. Marsala on one side and Copper Orange respectively, were surprisingly close when it comes to talk earthy components.




TL to BR: Patrick Demarchelier | Styling Alessandra Salaris & Photography Beppe Brancato | via Zuujab | Marazzi


These predictions have been evolved and we see today combined a range of terracotta, burgundy, rust, ocher, pale pink and cinnamon shades – all gathered together offering an utterly beautiful color range to use in our day-to-day life.

Toasted colors are authentic, warm, versatile and have become timeless. And if you feel you want to contrast the sometimes rather feminine touch, black is a great component to offer a stronger and more sophisticated look.




Fashion, Beauty, Interior, Jewellery, Graphic Design, Arts&Crafts and other disciplines have joined in, and today I’d love to show you a few examples. What is great about this trend is how accessible and easy to integrate it is. And that is certainly not always the case when it comes to end consumer adoption.

Not only in the fashion world but basically in a wide array of fields, we celebrate that earthy tones, which look seemingly basic, can be both fashionable and functional. The above images which belong to a beautiful ceramics collection crafted by Kristie van Noort (more on collage n#4) or the hand-woven rug from CC-Tapis are lovely examples.

Among many good reasons to go for earthy tones, the fact that this palette serves as a kind of visual cleanser among all the bolder trends seen on the runway and international trade shows makes it doubly welcome, with colors ranging from nude and moss green, terracotta to khaki, rusty and neutral tones.
Actually it’s no surprise, since we still live and love the Green Trend longing for a slower and back to the roots life with its corresponding sustainable materials, loads of plants integrated in our every day, different approach of how and where to spend our vacations, including new food habits and living a more conscious life.

In other words, with such a wide color palette, we are going to see earthy tones for a while. My prediction is this trend to last until at least until AW 2016 including new shades but staying true to its essence. These are the colors for body, mind & soul.

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.  

 Gudy has recently launched her video course, How to Create a Well Structure Mood Board, you can view the details here.

She was inspired by the current Jungle Trend and a pretty tropical color palette with different shades of green, a couple of earthy tones and a warm sunny yellow.

Initially I had planned to add a couple of pink tones as well but took them out afterwards feeling it looked much cleaner like this.
