All the trends of Paris Fashion Week SS22
Directly from the collections of popular fashion brands and the new talents of Made in France
October 6th, 2021
With Paris, the Fashion Month of this September 2021 ended, which saw - finally live for the most part - the Spring-Summer 2022 collections of the fashion houses. In Paris as in Milan, to give us a preview of what will be the trends of the next summer season are on the one hand historical brands like Chanel, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton, on the other also innovative upcoming brands like Ottolinger, Coperni and Rokh: more and more young talents conquer the catwalks of made in France (and made in Italy) fashion while the historic Maison look to the past and their archives to create contemporary collections in step with the frenetic rhythms of fashion and its trends.
If the trends of Milan Fashion Week inspired you, read on to discover all the trends of the Paris Fashion Week SS22.
Bandeau & micro top
Tops and bras become part of our daily wardrobe if worn under suit jackets or combined with voluminous skirts and low-waisted trousers, in an increasingly micro version and in the bandeau variant. From Miu Miu to Coperni, from Valentino to Balmain, we just have to find the variant that best suits our style.
Bling bling
If in the make-up and beauty looks this Fashion Month has celebrated the return to color, as far as fashion is concerned we have witnessed a recovery of sequins, glitter, metallic and shimmer fabrics, applications of beads, gold and silver, but with the right balance and without falling into excesses. Some examples? The silver catsuit by Burberry and the long dresses covered with sequins by Loewe and Valentino.
Crochet & knitwear
Knitwear, a fabric processing technique that combines tradition and modernity, is reconfirmed as a timeless and seasonless trend. Whether in the crochet version of an unprecedented Marine Serre, in the light and almost transparent variants of Acne Studios and Coperni, knitwear will continue to complete our looks also during next summer.
Cut-out details
Leather becomes the protagonist of the looks through fabric scraps and overlapping games, giving the garments an ethereal but at the same time bold effect. Cut-out is one of the hottest trends of the last year and there is a reason why several brands choose to make it a trademark and an integral part of entire collections. Among these is the Ottolinger brand which has made the cut-out and deconstruction the basis of its creations. Unexpectedly but not too much, even the most classics like Saint Laurent and Giambattisti Valli have successfully experimented with the cut-out in their latest collections.
Ultra-low waist
The return of the low waist is now official, not only in denim. The SS22 by Miu Miu brings rebalanced proportions of the Y2K and school-girl aesthetic to the catwalk with nano short mini-skirts only 20 centimeters cut in raw. Dior and Valentino instead opt for strictly low waist boyfriend jeans, combined with voluminous shirts and oversized jackets to leave less exposed skin.
Leather & vinyl
A must of the winter season but not only, leather is the material that works in every season and applied to any garment: from the classic biker jackets to the leather pants, from the jacket-skirt suit in purple-dyed leather by Lanvin, up to the glamor of Chanel who chooses total black vinyl for its iconic coords.
See-through
Underwear (but also bare skin) returns to be the protagonist in SS22, thanks to light, almost impalpable dresses, which playing with layers and transparencies allow a glimpse of what is underneath. Which mood to choose? The total black of Coperni, Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent; Rick Owens' colored and overlapping veils; or even the neutral and ethereal tones of Givenchy and Giambattista Valli.
Contemporary power suit
A timeless trend that returns without taking any break, directly from FW21-22. The power suit takes on a different connotation in the latest collections, while remaining a symbol of empowerment: the classic suit is revisited, deconstructed and rebuilt according to a contemporary vision by brands such as Schiaparelli, Ottolinger and Miu Miu.
XXL/colorful gloves
Gloves not only serve to protect our hands from cold and cracking during the winter, but become a style accent to be worn at any time. Better still if colored, in leather, like those of Saint Laurent, or very long and veiled like those of Rokh.
Gladiator sandals
The famous gladiator sandals with very long laces that rise all over the calf, will unexpectedly return next season. From the colored version of Ottolinger to the more glamorous ones of Dior and Valentino, we are sure you will fall in love with it again.
