Patchwork is sew cool! The best mix-n-match looks from the runway
The maximalist look is taking off in earnest this season, its characteristic excessiveness coming to a head with patchwork. No signs predicted its return to fashion, but these designs, created with a combination of different swathes of fabric, were seen on the biggest runways during New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week. It's clear that patchwork is ne of the most original, fresh, and colorful fashion trends of the fall/winter season.
Even though these dresses, skirts, coats, and accessories retain that particular old-school feel, it also includes modern pieces created for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
A dash of punk
Who said fashion has rules? Alternating between checks and florals, Matty Bovan created his own fashion philosophy, mixingfabrics such as wool, denim and raw cotton, while leaving asymmetrical edges unhemmed.
Retro-chic
The Edwin Robe from House of Harlow 1960 x Revolve ($119) is not only versatile, but it is a great piece to anchor an classic yet trendy look. The mix of patterns and the subtle shine of this duster perfectly stand out against the base of ripped jeans and a simple white t-shirt.
Playing with volume
Gucci is one legendary fashion house that showcases the most exquisite needlework. It gives a twist on the usual geometric pattern, contrasting with plaid and adding volume to the sleeves and bodices of the garments we loved at their last fashion show.
Layering
Thanks to its bold visual impact, patchwork is definitely a trend that will not go unnoticed. Perhaps the most sophisticated way to wear it was shown by Coach 1941, with a series of coats that, when over mini dresses, create a perfect fall look.
Haute Couture
Patchwork was the protagonist on haute couture runways such as that of Viktor & Rolf. These stunning, vividly complex and hypnotic designs show that this technique is as glamorous as it is imaginative.
More is more
A fan of contrasts? Then this fringed patchwork wool-blend sweater from MSGM will be your new favorite. Slightly oversized it will wrap you in warmth like a quilt – the original inspiration for this trend (Net-a-Porter, $360).
Mix and match
Patchwork can be made up of monochrome or colorful patches, like those used by Jonathan Cohen in his collection. From stripes and floral designs to abstract patterns, this designer has combined them all with flair.
Earthy vibe
One of the essential pieces for this season (which you can wear with leggings and tall boots or with jeans) is tunic like the Patchwork print dress from Mango ($119) in classic seasonal colors.
That '70s show
The Denise patchwork printed silk-twill wide-leg pant from Tory Burch, with a wide silhouette that invokes the spirit of the 1970s and will give you an impeccable look for the office or even the weekend (Net-a-Porter, $160).
Pretty and chic
From the runway straight to your closet! If you are looking for a sophisticated dress that exudes style, the Sabrina Strapless Floral Patchwork Dress from Cinq à Sept is ideal, thanks to its bias-cut silk pieces and strapless neckline (Neiman Marcus, $389).
So know you know the perfect trend for fall and winter – patchwork is back and more versatile than ever!
