BRIGHT SUMMER COLLECTIONS APPEARED AT ALL STORES HEREBRANCE THAT SUMMER IS ALREADY ON THE THRESHOLD. FABRIC BECOMES EASIER, FIT MUCH FREE, HEIGHT OF HEELS WILL FLY OFF TO SKIES, AND ACCESSORIES Dazzled with DIVERSITY. Let's see what fashion has prepared for us.
Your pen, madam!
All the attention in the summer is on hand. They flaunt long gloves to the elbow of the finest leather, suede, lace and light fabrics. Gloves come in contrast with the outfit. Even if the model resembles a snow-white air marshmallow, and her clothes are selected strictly in pastel colors, her hands can be dressed in dark or rich colors of gloves. Another trend dictates the wearing of gloves, matched tone to tone to thin outerwear. In any case, they tend to go up, so blouses and jackets with a 3/4 long sleeve will look great with them.
In the hands of a wearer of fashionable gloves is a clutch bag. Bags of such a simple form are lacquered, reptile and fabric under the skin, necessarily have an interesting finish with rhinestones, sequins, chains.
Large bracelets and rings with large stones are the favorites of the season. Long beads with various beads lie in clusters on the chest. At the same time, glass beads, and beads, and fabric balls, and plastic, and stones are put on.
Tunics - between body and soul
In ancient Rome, the tunic was first worn as a home dress or underwear. It was called "tunikintima" and had a symbolic meaning. It was believed that it is a link between the soul and body. Such a tunic was worn over the head and had no sleeves. Later there appeared a “tunic-table” - up to the toes, with folds, a long train and bordered with colored embroidery at the edges.
Tunics have always been used in the clothing of women in the Republic of Cameroon. Embroidered by hand, they are still called the "Bubu". Mandatory accessory - large bracelets made of wood, semiprecious and rare stones. The Irish also wore tunics as part of the national costume.
Today, the favorite of all the catwalks is a hybrid of a "peasant" blouse and tunic. Accents: gold braid, embroidery and ... well, a very deep neckline. Jeans or white cotton breeches look best with narrow embroidered tunic and elegant ethnic-style sandals. Choose catchy jewelry - massive earrings and bracelets.
Geometry of silhouettes
The length of summer dresses stopped on her knees. It allows you to slightly open them or, conversely, close them a few centimeters below. Solid dresses or floral dresses - at the peak of popularity. A plain pastel dress allows you to make the main emphasis on accessories, at the same time, a bright dress dictates its own rules, so that at least jewelry, all attention is drawn only to it - its clear silhouette and geometricity. In favor is the hourglass silhouette.
Summer bloom
Dresses with a floral pattern, ornament or painting, reminiscent of brush strokes and stains left by chance by the artist, are complemented by modest accessories. The most relevant dress of this summer is a little shapeless, bag-like, sewn from the finest and lightest fabrics. Particular attention should be paid to dress finishing. The top of most of them is a corset, the shoulders are open, and the chest is decorated with loose stones and embroidery.
Night moths
Light and weightless, as always flying into the light of evening lights. Lace, silk, organza, chiffon, the finest crepes, a lot of drapery and layering - all this in summer evening dresses. Length - to the floor or to the knee (cocktail option). Tanned shoulders are open. A little rustling skirts. Embroidery with precious threads and rhinestones flicker in the moonlight.
Men in summer 2008: nerds and homeless rebels
New summer collections for men from world gurus are truly rosy. They have bright, saturated colors: red, green, light green and yellow resonate with calm and discreet shades - from pastel, pale blue, pink, ash to milky white. Designers and luxurious gold and silver colors have not ignored. In many collections, metallic and gold are actively used in the design of men's clothing.
The hit of the summer is classic natural materials: linen, cotton, rayon and leather, but there were also bold deviations from standard summer textures. Clear lines of silhouette and narrower shapes still remain trendy and relevant in the summer of 2008. The relaxed, light and quite classic cut of men's summer clothes was presented by the masters Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani. Which image can be considered the most relevant? "Nerds", "nerds", "znayki" and excellent students - in short, the image of the intellectual will remain in fashion. In support of this collection by Paul Smith, Bottega Veneta and Hermes. Brutal macho, hero and conqueror of female hearts by Giorgio Armani and Valentino. Well, the most vivid image was offered by the provocateur John Galliano. In his version, the man of the summer of 2008 is a rebel, a futuristic rebel, the hero of a sick imagination of a crazy animator, in general, something unusual and, unfortunately, completely impractical.
Perhaps the most “not summer” detail in the men's wardrobe for the second season in a row is a scarf. In all kinds of colors, shades, textures and destinations, the scarf became the main fashion item in the summer of 2008. The scarf is worn with a shirt and shorts, with a leather jacket, “leather jacket” and even with a bathing suit.
Without saying a word, almost all designers decided that voluminous and wide men's bags are the most concise, simple, but at the same time, stylish accessory. A bright touch emphasizing real masculine charisma and eroticism. You must admit that a large bag is not only practical and convenient, but also insanely beautiful.
