We all know that the 70’s era has inspired a plethora of fall must-haves – from sophisticated suede to the resurfacing of the glorious bell-bottom – it’s clear that this stylish period has made quite the splash on and off the runways.
But, there is one trend that leaves me both inspired yet unsure – the patchwork craze. It’s reappeared time and time again in Fall 2015 collections and street style stars have even caught wind.
So, let’s take a closer look!
About a week ago, the lovely Shiona Turini took to Instagram (in a Throwback Thursday flick) showcasing an eye-popping Junya Watanabe patched design. It was interesting to see a modern take on the vintage staple!
Model Caroline Trentini rocked a bold Chloé poncho and matching midi skirt in the brand’s Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear presentation.
And, how can we forget Katy Perry’s Moschino patched denim wonder?!
Taraji P. Henson was styled in the same Fall 2015 jacket for the Season 2 of Empire. Fierce!
Emely Montero looked absolutely stunning in a jewel-toned dress by Prada.
ASOS even tried their hand at patchwork with this fly skirt! Although it’s not as conventional as the Chloé example, it’s a more contemporary version. Sidenote: How amazing is this color scheme?
Gucci stayed ahead of the curve as their Spring 2015 collection housed flowy silhouettes, loads of orange and intricate floral patchwork.
Tom Ford accented his Fall 2015 runway denim with patched knee-high boots and that showstopping statement coat. Go Binx!
I’ve even spotted a decent amount of patched trousers on the market.
And, to round things out, we have another sartorial gem from Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2015 collection. Model Ysaunny Brito uplifts numerous autumn trends including floral patchwork, over-the-knee boots, a fringe bag and a pom-pom bracelet.
Whew! I’m still in the air over this one, ya’ll!
Be real. What do you think?
