It’s time to progress from the humdrum of cold winter nights
and the subsequent layering of bleak colouring and lust after spring’s
menagerie of tropical Hawaiian colours.
Menswear biggest trend for Spring/Summer is the revival of
70s disco mixed with 90s UK acid house scene to create a futuristic explosion
of print and colour, definitely only for those that aren’t scared to push the
boundaries of fashion, think Leigh Bowery performance art but with a street
wear vibe.
Moschino, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli have shown influence
this S/S in pop art with bright block coloured suits. Versace mixed it up with
double breasted suit jacket cut off at the shoulders teamed with bubblegum coloured
short shorts. For a more avant-garde futuristic vibe for the season look to
Margiela and Lanvin use of metallic tone.
Tip for establishing that you are wearing the most trend
worthy colours think fruit but with a surrealist twist – watermelon, tangerine,
acidic apples, banana.
For inspiration for S/S trend look to Tate, Liverpool
upcoming exhibition ‘Glam! The Performance of Style’ which opens 8th
February. It offers a look into the visually extravagant pop glam style which is
all about bold colours and the pushing of fashion boundaries which S/S 13 is
all about. Also V&A exhibition 'David Bowie opening 23rd March one sure to pack the most meatiest of colour punches.
