Now that New York Fashion Week for Fall 2018 has come to a close, the most prevalent trends from the runways have made themselves known. In terms of accessories, many designers opted out of the oversized silhouette that has been popular in past seasons. This is especially true for sunglasses, which appeared on many runways in a small, cat-eye style. Designers, like Anna Sui, Calvin Klein, and Calvin Luo all featured this style in their collections.
At Self-Portrait, masculine and feminine silhouettes were combined in the form of oversized outerwear and flowy dresses, accessorized with small, rounded sunglasses. Anna Sui’s latest collection, inspired by her love of the fashion world in New York City, featured slightly larger frames in a cat-eye style. At Adam Selman for Fall 2018, the designer debuted a bright and bold collection inspired by the 80’s, which included smaller, bright-colored cat-eye pieces.

At Paris Fashion Week, which marks the end of the Fall 2018 show season, maximalist, bold trends again stole the attention. Among the most noteworthy of these trends is the use of holographic, iridescent, and metallic fabrics. At shows like Maison Margiela, Nina Ricci, and Balmain loud fabrics appeared everywhere from outerwear to accessories and shoes.
Olivier Rousteing imagined his most recent Balmain collection in the year 2050, which was fitting considering the entirely holographic, futuristic looks featured in the show. At Anrealage, a collection entitled “Prism” featured reflective pieces in voluminous silhouettes that were meant to vary in appearance, depending on perspective.

At Marni, designer Francesco Risso included wide leather belts with oversized buckles with brightly colored vinyl coats in his collection titled “Technoprimitivism.” Similar looks were featured at Fendi, with wide, checked belts on display over patent leather trench coats of the same pattern.

At London Fashion Week, the oversized trend was going strong in both clothing and accessories. Among the most notable of pieces was the oversized tote, which was featured in collections like Ashish, Richard Malone, and Eudon Choi. Ashish was inspired in part by Indian street style, and featured models carrying brightly colored, grocery-worthy bags. At Rejina Pyo, the collection included modern style elements that were mixed with a touch of nostalgia, complete with oversized, leather totes in a muted color palette. At Richard Malone, the sustainable collection featured oversized, mesh tote bags, which were all hand-woven and made entirely from recycled plastic.
