The ABC of Fashion Trends

If you like to be up to date with everything that happens in the world of fashion, you are probably anxious to find out the trends for the year to come. So, without further delay, here it is for you. The year fashion trends can brag with a wide variety of models and textures. Creativity is what matters in this year. Mix the colors the printed materials the styles, the textures and you will get an unexpected result. Choose huge accessories and small clothes, the variety and contrast rule in the year fashion trends. There are also some retro comebacks in the fashion of this year. As you probably know, recycling the style of the previous years is a trend of the fashion in these last few years.

An impressive comeback
The 50s. The fashion of these years will come back in style. So, check out old pics of your mom or some old magazines and see what was trendy back then. As a matter of fact, there were some pieces imported from the 50s style, so you are not completely taken by surprise by this trend. So, everything that brings back the air of the fifties will be highly fashionable. So, if you opt for dresses, they will go just below the knee. Trousers with stripes or short trousers will also be a hit in the year fashion trends. Large knitted sweaters in any materials and colors are super hot. Wear these with some classy jeans and you will be updated with the latest novelties of this year. The Capri trousers can also be worn, combined with large blouses or over sized shirts.

Mixed fashion trends
On the other hand, besides the fifties style, in the year fashion trends there will be a lot of mixture between styles. So the ethno style joins with the sporty clothes to give a creative outcome. The code for the year fashion trends will be to get out of patterns. So, mix the styles the way you want and you will be very fashionable. All you need is some good taste in clothes and your imagination. The colors that will be in style are the classy black and white, brown, grey and the printed materials with floral details, abstract or even geometrical patterns. The accessories that you choose should be over sized, so great earrings, rings, huge pendants and extra large bags will be just lovely to define your style. The materials for the accessories can be natural: wood or clay or plastic, which will not get out of style in the year fashion trends either.

When’s all said and done, having read about the year fashion trends will give you an idea on what to choose for your wardrobe. Create your new outfits and get ready for year.

Scarlett poses with new designs of MANGO winter

Once again, Scarlett Johansson, one of the most internationally-famous Fashion models, will feature in the new MANGO winter campaign. This is the third time the actress has launched the firm’s new designs since she became the face of the brand last year.

A typical London residence was the setting chosen by MANGO for the photo shoot, in which the actress once again posed before the camera of Mario Sorrenti. The prestigious photographer, who has collaborated with MANGO since Scarlett became the face of the brand, succeeding in immortalising the more elegant and romantic side of the actress. Jane How was responsible for the styling, while Lucía Pieroni and Oribe, respectively, were responsible for make-up and hair styling.

In this new collection, MANGO takes a fresh look at the timeless classics of British country style: trench coats, double-breasted jackets and tailored coats, without forgetting, in knitwear, the basics and thicker garments with a handmade look.

The carefree combination of these traditional garments is evocative of the late 70s. Tweed, corduroy and leather, together with sheer silks and touches of gold, create a contrast between the masculine and the feminine, giving new meaning to the classics.

Lamya Abedin launches Al Sultan Collection for Eid

One of the largest and longest lasting empires in history – the Ottoman Empire - has become the source of inspiration for Lamya Abedin’s latest Sultan Collection. In this collection Abedin presents 50 unique pieces that showcase the rich sartorial heritage of the Ottoman era.

“Cultures and countries have always been the catalyst to my creativity and the Ottoman Empire was an epitome of such inspiration for me with its ethnical diversities, confluence of the east and west and rich cultural vibrancy,” says Abedin, as she catches her breath during the photo shoot of her new Sultan Collection at Almaz by Momo at Mall of the Emirates.

The modern Maghrebin style restaurant becomes an apt backdrop to Abedin’s new collection, which is adequately kitschy as it is classical. Giorgio Armani contributed to the Arabesque look of the models and Jacques Dessanges of Paris did the hair styling.
