Trends 2018
The ability to form a stylish image is a great talent that requires not only knowledge of current trends, but also the ability to skillfully combine all the elements of the look: from dresses, pants, sweaters and outerwear to shoes and a handbag. The latter, by the way, is a rather complex accessory, not always amenable to taming.
Ideally, it becomes the central part of the image, brings a fresh touch to it, attracts admiring glances, and allows you to emphasize the mood. Otherwise, it becomes a common and ordinary accessory for carrying a wallet, cosmetic bag, phone and keys.
Fashion does not stand still, and the fantasy of famous designers moves forward, providing us with charming new items. This year's trend pieces are capable of transforming any image; they will interest both lovers of maximalism and conciseness in the formation of a bow, as well as fans of non-standard solutions and youth solutions who prefer special chic and originality.
Accessories fashionable this year managed to enter two opposite directions at once: on the one hand, classic samples of calm colors are popular. On the other hand, fashion designers decided not to drive themselves into frames, creating collections that are the embodiment of the freshest and most unusual ideas, in original color variations and intricate non-standard forms.
Advice! To complement the modern informal look, buy a handbag in the shape of a cute animal, candy, car, flower or even a bag. Such a decision requires courage and independence in character from the girl, since it will attract a fair share of the attention of others.
The classic forms did not remain in the background either. Intriguing variations of classic hobos and briefcases, clutches and minaudiers, backpacks and sacks delight the eyes of representatives of strict views. At the peak of popularity are elegant designs from the 60s with brightly contoured geometry, dynamic creations of the 80s in the glam-rock style with an abundance of catchy buckles, straps and rivets.
Stylish mimicry conquered the fashionable Olympus. It is welcome when the color scheme of the handbag completely repeats the print in the clothes. For monochromatic suits, it would be nice to choose a bright accent. The increased attention this season is given to blue in all its multifaceted charm.
Fashion trends presented at the latest shows
Not so long ago, shows ended in Milan, Paris, London and New York, where the topic of women's accessories was fully revealed. If in past seasons the bag was most often assigned a leading role in the image, now from a catchy and flashy accent it has turned into a harmonious addition to the look,in harmony with the rest of its details. Among all the new products that conquered the demanding audience, I would like to highlight three trends that deserve special attention:
- sports topics. A lot of words have been said about the great power of an active lifestyle. In support of the general passion for sports, the designers have released a number of attractive creations with the help of which it will be possible to complement or dilute everyday and even evening looks. Based on this, we look closely at various kinds of backpacks made of translucent plastic and leather, bags-bags, products resembling tubes in shape, and other interesting developments of clothing creators;
- reptile leather products. If last year samples from python skin were present at every show, now the attention of brands has switched to crocodiles. Such products are painted in different colors, shapes are also very diverse. Only the foundation remains unchanged. The advantage of this material is that it is more practical and durable. To complement the business style, the best solution would be to stop at a square or rectangular tote bag or a practical satchel in the form of a chest;
- transparent plastic products. The beauty of translucent things is most fully revealed in the collections from Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld transferred into his products the great power of nature's main engine - water. In the fresh line, there were many things with transparent details, outerwear made of plastic and shoes with decorative inserts. Based on all these beauties, surprisingly light and attractive images were created.
Advice! To keep up with the latest trends, get such a handbag, and so that complete transparency does not become a problem, wear it together with a clutch. He will certainly hide everything secretly and so you will find yourself in a double trend.
Popular forms
The previous sections have covered fashion offerings in general. Now I would like to dwell in more detail on the samples demanded this year.
Miniature crumbs
Well-known brands decided on a cunning move: they did not invent something new, they only reduced the models we were used to. There are proposals so tiny that only lipstick, money and a phone will fit in them. Actually, what else is needed for happiness?
Such patterns are combined with everyday casual bows, boho or ethno. Suitable for both daytime walks and evening events.
Full size giants
Spacious accessories are still popular. And although in the coming season they reach really gigantic sizes, due to the spectacular decor and non-standard solutions, they will never fall under the category of bad taste.
Glossy magazines offer fashionistas a huge number of oversized handbags: from soft, plush with rounded shapes to hard ones with strict lines. This option is suitable for both business women and glamorous beauties, sports fans and young mothers.
Clutches
This is not the first season in demand, so this species is presented in abundance. Any of their outlines and sizes, decorated with rhinestones and sequins, appliqués and embroidery, or strict, made of leather, are relevant - it all depends on the taste of the fashionista herself.
We can say with confidence: clutches are the undoubted must-have of the coming season. It is simply not more convenient to come up with an option.
Chests
It is impossible not to note the demand for bags with a clearly defined geometry, resembling chests or suitcases in shape.Although they are somewhat unusual and unusual, they look attractive and elegant.
In practice, they do not always turn out to be comfortable, but they attract increased attention. Interesting designs were presented in their collections by Louis Vuitton and Valentino, Stella McCartney and Thom Browne, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana and Claudia-Li.
Round
In the coming year, the circle takes a special place. Medium-sized rounded accessories can be made from a variety of materials and in various color variations: both discreet and monochromatic, as well as painted with extravagant prints. The popularity of this trend was traced in the shows of Salvatore Ferragamo, Manish Arora, Louis Vuitton, Anya Hindmarch, Alice + Olivia, Dolce & Gabbana.
Non-standard solutions
As we all know, design fantasy has no boundaries. Some of their works are very peculiar; not every fashionista will be able to decide on such an accent in the image. However, such developments, along with the usual classics, have the right to be considered.
Two in one
If you have several favorites in your wardrobe and often you cannot decide on the choice, this trend will not seem completely crazy. The fact is that Chanel, Fendi, Chloe and other brands now offer to combine two accessories into one. Looks very peculiar, but there is something in it. And do not be afraid to look strange, the correct combination will only emphasize the individuality of the owner.
Pillow bag
These beauties are very large, they will help out if the owner is on the road for a long time. The most comfortable one was seen at Maison Margiela. Made of white plush fabric, it really looks like a soft pillow. The truth is given only by the handle and minor decor. And Simone Rocha offered loose velvets: soft, pleasant to the touch and incredibly seductive. Stylish whimsical work suits evening bows.
Belt bag
In 2018, the belt clutch took root on fashion catwalks. This wardrobe element has returned to everyday life from the distant past, has become more beautiful, elegant, but at the same time has not lost its functional significance.
Advice! Stylists suggest wearing belt handbags in everyday bows and in combination with cocktail and evening dresses.
As for the guru of the fashion industry, Givenchy presented fans with a cute and very neat little wallet. Zimmermann put the emphasis on braided texture. Noon By Noor took off from a rectangular outline. Also, a practical product was present in the lines of Marc Jacobs, Rochas, Public School. And Balenciaga and Alexander Wang decided to surprise the public by offering fans belt bags over the shoulder.
"Clothes" for the bag
This unconventional solution was noticed only by Balenciaga and Chanel, but it is so extraordinary that there is not enough strength to pass by. The creators have created a kind of cloak worn over a handbag. Although some see it as a skirt. Well, let's wait a little, maybe after a short period of time it will be impossible to go outside without dressing your assistant.
Wicker base
Another trend that attracts attention is basket weaving. Charm, reminiscent of straw baskets, captivated the catwalk and the hearts of women of fashion. They are found in collector's editions of Sonia Rykiel, Ulla Johnson, Giorgio Armani. But most of all I was pleased with the look of Phillip Lim. Part of his beautiful creation was made of ordinary straw, and part of it was covered with straw bunches, which made the work itself look like a mesmerizing flower-straw composition.
Fringe
Confidently, but unhurriedly, fringe décor fills the women's wardrobe. Fancy jewelry is found everywhere: on clothes, shoes and, of course, on accessories. Sometimes the fringe inserts were larger than the product itself. The trend was supported by Calvin Klein and Balenciaga, Versace and Christian Dior, Loewe and Alexander Wang. And here the style is practically not important, because the fringed accents look great on suitcases, chests, clutches and even shoppers.
Trending prints, patterns, images
Let's say "yes" with fun and carelessness, in the coming season many pranks are allowed in the color design of handbags: scenes from cartoons and comics, prints with favorite movie and pop characters, catchy inscriptions.
In the warm season, it is impossible to do without the image of flowers and plants; such a proposal will delight gentle and romantic natures. Floral arrangements are also used in embroidery, appliqués and ornaments.
And stylists also focus on the image of the logos of brands and large companies. Sometimes you need to do something nice for your favorite manufacturer.
Advice! And do not forget about the main trend of this year - the "total look" direction. In it, the color of the bag completely repeats the print in the clothes and its texture. This direction is given to us by Dior, Chanel, Dries Van Noten, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQeen.
