Fashion week & Tartan

Hello everyone! I come back with an article about the Fashion Week 2016, I hope you will like it.

This year we saw a lot of Tartan patterns during the fashion week 2016. Thus Tartan is the new trend of the season autumn/winter 2016 on the catwalk and you will continue to see tartan everywhere in the shops. I wanted to share with you the most beautiful autumn/winter collections of this year.

During the London fashion week, Christophe Bailey found the inspiration in the British tradition for the Burberry autumn-winter 2016-2017 collection. Burberry unveiled a collection which mixes tartan, python and sequins. The designer found new ways to reimagine the brand’s tradition strengths like these long coats in wool and mohair tartan.

Watch the beautiful Burberry show with the British singer Jake Bugg:

Topshop has also used tartan pattern in the Topshop Unique Autumn/Winter 2016 show during the London Fashion Week. Topshop Unique delivered all the hallmarks of its youthful, cool girl look with tartan dresses, of course.

As always Vivienne Westwood used the pattern in her collection. She began to create collection with the tartan pattern in the 90’s and she never stopped. Westwood turned to traditional Savile Row tailoring techniques, using British fabrics and 17th and 18th century art for inspiration. Today Vivienne Westwood is one of the last independent global fashion companies in the world. During the London fashion week 2016, Vivienne Westwood opted for trademark tartan and a touch of sparkle. The dean of the fashion industry showcased a collection emphasising relaxed glamour. And like a tradition the designer worn a tartan shirt at the end of the show.

Finally, Vêtements, the brand that the world can’t stop talking about, showcased a collection with many different tartan during the Paris Fashion Week. The collection that rebelled against authority with naughty school girl uniforms and nods to stifling femininity was applauded. The Vetements show was staged in a church and opened with its stylist Lotta Volkova. It represents the spirit of a different Paris.
