44 designers, 1554 looks, 694 tags. That's the data Tagwalk provides in its report on London Fashion Week for all the predictions about the upcoming Milan Fashion Week. London Fashion Week, which has always been the most eccentric and experimental of them all, has gone for less conformist and disruptive choices this year, peppering its catwalks between beauty looks for all to emulate and new trends to keep an eye on. Enough of turtlenecks, earthy colours and blazers to revive the 2000s with its shapely silhouettes and the Goth trend, which saw a +672% increase in searches. Preppy style also returned to the London catwalk. Searches were up 118 percent and starched collars, fitted tailored suits, lace and bows spoke Miuccia's language. Brands that reinterpreted the collegiate style is Burberry, of course, with its iconic check print revisited in a macro version. And again Bora Haksu and Simone Rocha with hyper-elegant navy blue hues.
The predictions don't end here, we don't have a crystal ball, but if the metallic palette really returns, Diesel and Blumarine will pick up all the shades and invite us to wear them in the 2000 style we already saw on last season's catwalks in the Y2K version. The colours we'll be wearing the most? Bright red, bright yellow and white in its most overt looks. Also, bodysuits that expose the legs and are combined with very long skirts are back. The frock is becoming part of evening wear, while the cut-out will continue to keep us company this season. However, the model who walked the most, with nine catwalk shows in the calendar, was Britain's Nyaueth Riam, who conquered the Yuhan Wang catwalk in a sheer black slip dress with a destroyed effect. Nyaueth strode down the catwalk like a warrior in torn armour, emerging victorious from her battle. Could it be that Nyaueth is the one to displace Bella Hadid from her catwalk record? And one of the trends we hope to see more of this week? Inclusion. This includes the master Marco Rambaldi, whose collections, combined with an always strong casting of models, manage to get people talking about him - well - even in the most hostile Milan. We don't have a crystal ball, but the images, social media and numbers speak to us. Now we just have to enjoy the start of Milan Fashion Week with all the good predictions on our side.
