Art Worn As Life.
Many Designers this season were influenced by artistic expression and brought this to life via their collections, bringing a playful and optimistic vibe to this seasons shows.
The Power Shoulder.
Volume sleeves were seen EVERYWHERE this season. From bold 80s padded shoulders in relaxed suiting, to feminine puff sleeves in maxi dresses and tops. Designers focussed their attention on details on the top half of outfits (probably as a result of the endless zoom calls & meetings this year).
Essential Collar.
Following on from the power shoulder, another key detail that may have been a result of online meetings this year was the essential collar. Bold, statement collars were seen across several shows.
Layered Tunic.
Slim leg trousers were seen layered with long tunics and shirt dresses over the top.
