Spring 2018 Trends – Spring Fashion Week 2018 Coverage

Surprisingly Spring 2018 is darker than usual. Indeed, white and black are the primary color palettes. The use of these two minimal colors is prominent on many runway shows. However, designers emphasize their collection on volume & structure, beautiful drapes and a mix of textures. Speaking of textures: feathers and plastic (clear plastic or vinyl) are definitely the stars of the season.

Regarding prints: graphic black and white prints and plaids are go-to. Whereas the mauve color is doing its come back for spring but on a monochrome silhouette.

Check out the spring 2018 trends below.

This season, Saint Laurent revealed a beautiful Spring 2018 runway where feathers were the statement. Furthermore, designers Nina Ricci, Ann Demeulemeester, Celine, Alberta Ferretti have also used this beautiful ornament.

Life in plastic is fantastic: Plastic boots, plexi heels, etc.

The plastic is finally a luxury fabric: transparent with clear plastic or glossy as the vinyl. Thus, plastic was the it-piece of several runway shows like Chanel (plastic boots, coats, hats and even gloves), Balmain (plastic heels, vinyl overalls) or Mugler (plexi heels).

Pledge for plaids

This spring, plaids are back and are very playful. Particularly, designers mix this print with stripes (Balenciaga, Fendi) or print it on a sheer fabric (Fendi, Miu Miu).
