The Fashion Forecast 2015

FIX UP, LOOK SHARP

A new year brings with it resolutions and desires for change. Given that 2014 was the undisputed year of normcore, where streetwear and organic, loose shapes were ubiquitous, we predict a movement towards structure and sharp tailoring. This was hinted at towards the end of the year with the new Givenchy campaign in which Julia Roberts stares defiantly into the camera in an oversized and well tailored suit. Indeed, on the catwalk there was also a clear move away from street wear for the 2015 collections. Elaborately embellished, flamboyant and occasionally 3-D midi skirts were shown by the likes of Burberry, McQueen and Erdem, suggesting that making an effort is essential in 2015. Geometric silhouettes and cuts also featured heaving in the S/S '15 shows, with high waists at Balmain, sharp edges at Philip Lim and structured jump suits at Marios Schwab.

DO IT WITH FLARE

More established, we predict a big year for Simone Rocha. With a successful collaboration with J Brand Jeans at Dover Street Market this year, her romantic designs are re-establishing ideas of femininity for the modern woman. With Luella Bartley at the helm, we also predict that Marc by Marc Jacobs will re-establish itself as the go to brand for the fashionable Brit.
