SPACE AGE

Fashion is looking forward and this season the futurism trend has a tough and sturdy attitude. Drop your floral prints and frilly hemlines from last year and embrace strong, sculpted dresses and robotic jackets.

Space age silhouettes are big news this autumn, as are fresh textures and modern, metallic colours. Thanks to Balmain’s Autumn Winter collection, full of glittering body-con dresses with enhanced shoulders, the focus of the trend is the big shoulder. Eighties style enormous puffed up sleeves, structured wings and stiff shoulder pads are rocketing on to the high street and designer rails alike.

To keep the look on-trend and up to date, shimmering textures and chromatic hues pull the style away from retro and in to the future. Cutting-edge silver and gun-metal lamé clings to the body and enhances curves while simple black adds a refined edge. For some extra dazzle, add sparkling sequins or chunky crystals.
