Give us more Paolo Sebastian
by Unknown
If you're planning on googling upcoming trends for this season... Don't.
I'm serious. Just don't. What we see on the runway isn't necessarily the next big trend we need to follow or buy, but versions of it will flood all the shops we buy in. And look what the runways are giving us (and it hurts my eyes)-
Burberry Prorsum
Bottega Veneta
Gucci (Gucci what were you thinking??)
Max Mara
Tory Burch, Polo Ralph Lauren, Alexander Wang
MM6 Maison Martin Margiela (I'm quietly sobbing while looking at this horror rn)
Dries Van Noten
Peter Som
Karen Walker, Rodebjer, Adam Selman
Designers... Please... Stahp
We get it- it's gonna be like we're stuck in some 70s meets 90s denim bar with unfeminine silhouettes. But why so unfeminine? Because, TBH the ideas are great, but they look 110% worse with straight, loose tailoring and unflattering ends.
In that massive disappointment I've actually found a positive side, and it's my biggest new crush, Paolo Vasileff- founder of Paolo Sebastian. He's been in the game since he was 17 and now at twenty-something he has launched the most beautiful, etheral collection of 2015.
It's pure art- although most is haute couture, the ideas are mesmerizing. Girls wearing his dresses look like goddesses. See some of the collection from this year-
The materials look like flowing marble and liquid flowers- it's all just incredible. I'd like to see those kinds of patterns trending this season- not PVC shoes and denim coveralls.
