On October
24th and 25th we saw the fourth season of Lingerie
Fashion Week in Manhattan, New York. More than 25 designers, both established
and up and coming, were able to showcase their 2015 spring/summer collections at the
lingerie event of the year.
It was refreshing
to see models of all shapes and sizes on the runway allowing you to see how the
lingerie looked on everyday sized women.
One runway show by You, a lingerie maternity brand, purely
featured pregnant women which added some fun and light heartedness to the show.
The lingerie collections were very diverse, some were
vibrant and striking in colour and others were light, soft and very feminine. It
was great to see such a contrast in styles and colours.
There were three looks that I found to be particularly popular
in the collections at Lingerie Fashion Week and today I will be guiding you
through them.
Black is
back and with a vengeance.
I have
started to see a lot of lingerie collections that have pieces with a punk/rock couture
influence and the spring/summer ranges at Lingerie Fashion Week were no
different with the likes of Andree Ciccarelli, Gempicket, Love Cage and The Lilith
Collection by Olivia Danielle all embracing this look in their lingerie.
Black will
always be a classic colour in lingerie that will never fade out of fashion and
bringing a new twist to it always keeps it fresh.
It was the cut-out
detailing, use of straps and intricate black lace that gave the lingerie this
punk/rock couture inspired feel. I like the fact that the designers didn’t
overdo the look and the pieces still managed to look feminine and sexy.
Yellow, the
colour of spring/summer 2015. If you want to make a bold statement next year
then you will love the yellow trend that we have seen so much of and the
brighter the better. Swimwear ranges have also embraced this trend, so make
sure you stand out on your summer getaway in this fabulous liberating colour.
Yellow didn’t
overrule the runways at Lingerie Fashion Week but when it did appear it made a
bold statement. NaiS was the designer that really embraced this colour
producing contemporary retro inspired pieces which dominated the runway. You was
another designer that featured hints of yellow in its collection.
Remember bright
is beautiful.
Soft
pastels, light weight fabrics and delicate intricate lace are all features of
the stunning romantic trend and I wasn’t disappointed to see them all in abundance
at Lingerie Fashion Week.
Designers
such as Harlow & Fox, StephieAnn and The Giving Bride produced collections
that were effortlessly elegant, graceful and enchanting. It was nice to see
softer and more subtle lingerie pieces as black seemed to dominate the runway
at Lingerie Fashion Week.
This trend
is perfect for the spring/summer season as the fabrics used are lightweight and
soft, great for the warmer weather.
Are you a
romantic? If so then you are sure to be seduced by the beautiful and feminine
lingerie that has embraced this trend.
