124 April 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com STRIPE MANIA The humble stripe has been around for ever in the clothing world, but, this season, it took the catwalks by storm with line after line (pun intended) of catwalk models strutting this latest trend. Every runway from Gucci and Dsquared2 to Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith featured stripes in some form or other. Tommy Hilfiger’s youthful collection was full of swimwear and beach party-ready pieces in vibrant lines. Tod’s showed how to wear this trend with effortless chic in monochrome. Marc Jacobs took a fun option by stamping lines in two colours. This trend is one of the easiest to wear. Be it wide, thin, vertical, horizontal or even diagonal, wear this versatile print in any fabric and don’t forget to choose a colourful line to be right on trend. METALLIC MADNESS Bring out your inner diva this season as it’s all about glitz and glamour. Must-haves for the season include reflective leathers, lamé, crinkled silks, sequins and other shiny materials. For a glamorous night out, opt for full-on sparkle as seen on the catwalk of Emilio Pucci. Paul Smith adopted a daring take on the trend with men’s suits in luminous fabrics. For an understated look, go for one statement piece like a stunning pair of silver trousers, as was seen on the runways of Tod’s, Loewe and Isabel Marant. If you want to play it safe, take inspiration from Paco Rabanne by adding a flashy jacket to any casual outfit. You can either go for full-on bling or add a little sparkle for a touch of drama. This trend can also be worn during day time, but tone it down by adding just one piece to give your outfit a bit of a pop. fashionfeature Spring Summer 2016 APPLE SHARMA Spring is just around the corner and summer will soon be upon us.
