Fashion is all about shifting ideas and changing moods and with each season the desire to add the most covetable trends or the must have pieces to our wardrobes is a necessity. This SS’14 Splash interprets the trends that were the fashion world’s talk and launches them with a high street perspective. From aqua inspired florals to bold geometric patterns, head-to-toe white to bespoke sports the Splash collection is an interesting mix of dramatic atmosphere and varied styles.
Highlighting the very pulse of high-street fashion , the Splash SS’14 collection picks on key trends like ‘Eden’, ‘Nostalgia’ and ‘Rational’, ‘Creed’ for women and ‘Nautical Play’, ‘Earthy paradise’, ‘Sports Goth’ and ‘California Surf’ are key for men.
The ‘Eden’ trend is best represented by Acapulco-inspired florals growing alongside Aztec stripes in alluring colours. Feminine dressing will be the flavor of the season best represented with fit and flare dresses, crop tops and long maxi dresses with a lot of usage of ruffles and frills.
Silhouettes have been getting more interesting for a while now and structured is the route to take this season if you want to add a new dimension to your wardrobe. Follow the ‘Rational’ trend which is a flurry of origami-like fabric folds and laser cut patterns with mathematical precision.
Labelled ‘Creed’, the last trend for women this season features long flowing gowns, dresses with metallic effect, embellishments and textures.
It’s true when said that women trends are a revolution season after season while fashion for men is an evolution. This season’s first inspiration comes from the Tropical which goes on to take a new form. Termed ‘Earthy Paradise’, the collection uses washed tropical and botanical darks like the Amazon jungle, jaguar and exotic bird creatures as a core print direction.
The perennial nautical trend is redesigned and engrained through various details and new pieces for a more dressed up ‘Resort’ trend. Traditional blue and white sailor stripes continue but are refreshed and mixed with other authentic graphics like globetrotting maps and prints.
Summing up the season at Splash and primarily a high summer trend that takes motivation from the West Coast surf sports and skate wear look, ‘California Surf’ is all about retro motifs, hippy Hawaiian prints which are mixed with tribal geometry and sporty accessories.The Peninsula
