S/S15 TREND ALERT: SMOCKING | life-in-resume

The 2014 S/S collections are long gone with their bejewelled everything, sheer fabrics and pretentious prints. Now it’s time to start preparing for the up and coming trends of S/S 2015.

2015 will see a rise in the desire to be different – this happens every year but people are really stepping up to the plate to ensure that they are wearing something that has never been done and I think the summer is a great time for experimenting.

Georgia Hardinge is the leading fashion figure head in creating beautiful garments that have led to the great folded trend that is about to sweep the fashion front line. Although the concept of folds and structures within garments can date back to early 1800s Japanese style it is really making a unique display on the catwalks for S/S15.

 The structure in the garments that Hardinge creates are beautiful and the manipulation of fabric is comparable to paper origami. The sharp lines she is able to translate into her work make for garments that are unusual yet simple – they are a trend that I can see translating really well onto the high street as although it is unique it also has a simplistic and minimal feel about it. This may be down to the sharp tailoring that has been a trend for a while not only on the catwalks about also on the high street and the use of bold colours or simple colours – often people don’t like to experiment too much with colour yet S/S allows people to come out of their comfort zones and I think this style is a great way to do that as it could become a key piece in a wardrobe that can be worked into different looks.

Hardinge is making great impact on the fashion scene with the likes of Lady Gaga, Paloma Faith and Jessie J wearing some of her pieces. I think there is a lot more to come from this designer as time goes on and I also think that the Folding origami style of fashion will be a great success throughout S/S15 weather it be to the extent of Hardinge’s style or to a sleek folded pencil skirt.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I hope to share more of my opinions on up and coming S/S15 trends.
