With fashion month now coming to a close, Paris Fashion Week solidified the major trends that we’ll most definitely be seeing in spring 2018. Following in the footsteps of New York, London, and Milan, key trends from Paris continue to be bold and daring. One standout trend from the runways is patent leather/vinyl pieces, featured prominently in both clothing and accessories. Designers like Balmain, Proenza Schouler, and Isabel Marant all incorporated this look into their most recent collections.

Kym Ellery was inspired by forward thinkers of the 20th century, as well as the 1960’s decade when creating her spring 2018 line. The collection was packed with references to retro-looks, and included pieces like statement blouses and flared pants, as well as a black patent leather a-line skirt. Designer Tuomas Merikoski of AALTO featured this trend in the form of a slouchy pant, while in the accessories department, Proenza Schouler paired every look with a pair of patent leather, pointed toe shoes.

Some key trends from New York and London carried over into Milan Fashion Week, while others were being seen for the first time on the runway this season. These newer trends though, introduced by Italian brands, were just as bold and statement-making as their predecessors. One major trend for spring 2018 in both clothing and accessories is the use of feathers. Designers like Alberta Ferretti, Dolce & Gabbana, and Erika Cavallini all debuted feather-detailed pieces in their latest collections.

Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio of Attico utilized feathers in the form of a cream colored handbag that accompanied the styling in their retro-inspired collection. On the bolder side of things, Jeremy Scott of Moschino opened his show with an extra-voluminous tulle tutu coated in pastel blue feathers. Dolce and Gabbana‘s elaborate spring 2018 show, with a theme described as “Queen of Hearts,” included a multi-colored coat completely canvassed in feathers.

London Fashion Week, generally speaking, took a slightly more gentle approach on the runway for spring 2018, compared to New York’s maximalist, brightly-colored collections from the previous week. Many trends aired on the side of dainty and romantic, and many designers kept the color palette reserved to pastel hues. One major breakout trend was the heavy use of ruffles, whether it be in a bold, daring look, or found within a classic, ultra-feminine dress. Designers like Christopher Kane, David Koma, and Molly Goddard all incorporated the trend into their most recent collections, each with a unique twist.

The most recent offering by Ashish was inspired by a gloomy, dark mood, that has encapsulated the designer in recent months, as well as the recent eclipse. Pieces featured phrases like “Good Mourning,” and “Rest in Peace,” and the collection included ruffled gowns in sequin detailing. David Koma‘s spring 2018 show was inspired by athletic wear, and fell more on the bold side with the inclusion of a black leather mini-dress and a statement ruffle detail.

Another New York Fashion Week trend that is perfectly in keeping with the distancing from minimalism is the use of bright/neon colors. Sometimes called “highlighter hues,” palettes of bright, neon pinks, greens, oranges, and yellows took over the runways. This is unsurprising, due to the fact the the revival of 80’s decade trends has also been increasing over recent seasons. Designers like Marchesa, Naeem Khan, and Tracy Reese all ditched neutral, subdued pieces that make up the minimalism trend, and opted for a composition of eclectic, vibrant colors, all perfect for the warmer months of the year.

Stacey Bendet of Alice and Olivia, was inspired for her Spring 2018 collection by the iconic Chelsea Hotel in New York City. She got help from young artists in the city to create her designs, which included pieces like brightly colored suits and ruffled dresses in busy, floral prints. Tracy Reese debuted a collection of simple, staple style pieces, with the added lively statement of hot pink, graphic prints, and sequins.
