We are now approaching the end of Day 2 Spring
Summer 2016, here's some of the trends we're spotting. What do you think the best trends of SS16 are?
We've seen an onslaught of bright colours in Angel Chen, Typical
freaks and Leaf Xia. Reds, oranges and blues taking centre
stage. Although this doesn’t mean you need to discredit those earthy tones and minimalistic neutrals, as designers James Kelly and Pam Hogg showed us.

Fringing seems to be everywhere this
season, and Anita Hirlekar
certainly put it to use. Many of her garments were encased in long tassled
material, putting a spring in every models step. Once again Pam Hogg
demonstrated some killer fringed action especially in her western rose gold number.

Swedish School of Textiles BA graduate
Josefin Runquist’s gave us the power of pleats, and we can’t remember why we
don’t wear them on a regular basis... Pleats will certainly feature heavily next season.

Volume has got to be one of the biggest
trends we have spotted thus far. From James Kelly’s feather like moss, which
snaked and draped across his garments, to Roberts|Wood's white puffball creations. Even John Daniel Isacsson presented quilted camouflage jackets like we’ve
never seen before.

Bare
skin and nudity have also played an important part over the last two days. Whether it
be through peekaboo cut outs or sheer organza fabrics as seen at Judy Wu and Alva
Johansson, showing flesh has definitely had firm footing on the catwalk.
