You can trust Ben Matthews, buying manager of Net-a-Porter.com to have a close eye on the season’s trends. He shares his top picks for Spring/Summer 2015 that will still carry on strong into the next season.
Emilio Pucci / Gucci / Etro
That 70’s Show
Designers took a more tailored approach to the ’70s this season. Emilio Pucci’s crochet waistcoats styled with flared pants and Etro’s structured sweaters with mini-fringe detailing captured the spirit of this trend and showed just how wearable the pieces are. Gucci’s suede trench is the ultimate must-have. With its classic shape, tan hue and butter-soft fabric, it totally nails spring summer’s retro mood.
Chloé / Burberry Prorsum / Chloé
Elevated Denim
Denim ready-to-wear was all over the runway. Chloé’s voluminous denim-blue sweatshirt hoodie stole the show, and Burberry Prorsum’s ostrich and shearling panelled denim jackets were totally bonkers. Channel the trend by embracing double denim – it looks effortlessly cool and is the way forward this spring.
Anthony Vaccarello / Balmain / Mugler
The Rebel
This trend is for the woman who is sharp, sexy and big on confidence – add a leather mini, loose shirting and ankle boots for some attitude. We’ve picked up Anthony Vaccarello for the first time this season – we love his effortless, rock ‘n’ roll vibe. Balmain’s leather looks offer that extra fierceness and Mugler’s body con dresses with metal trims tick all the boxes.
