Emerging Trend: Monochrome

There has been such a mix, match and clash of prints recently, that inevitably, we were all going to need some visual chill out time. As predicted in my SS13 forecast, monochrome is going to be big, especially if we are taking cues of some of the most exciting and successful shows so far this season. Gucci showed only single hues head to toe, giving bold silhouettes and those amazing ruffles time to shine. Jil Sander came back after 8 years to show beautiful minimalism in deeper hues, and Marni showed simple volume in both monochrome and basic colour blocking. While Ferragamo kept it muted with all over camels and khakis.
Could be a wee bit harder to replicate in real life, as in most cases even the shoes matched...
Colours shown below are from both my SS13 and AW12/13 forecasts.

  1. A classic sneaker is the perfect pair of shoes to wear with a casual tees that hits just above the ankle. Pair with a slightly oversized graphic tee for a casual cool look from head to toe (that also happens to be crazy comfortable.
