Every woman wants to be beautiful and fashionable. And what does the word "fashion" beloved by all the ladies mean? Most encyclopedic dictionaries interpret this term as a temporary advantage or the dominance of a particular style in a particular area of life or culture.
Fashion influence
It is fashion in a specific period of time that determines the style of clothing, entertainment, art and lifestyle. But for us it is most common to associate this term with clothing and the manner of dressing. And at all times, most ladies do not want to be fashionable enough, or, even worse, old-fashioned. Therefore, both girls and women spend a lot of time flipping through magazines, watching programs about fashion and beauty, in search of their unique and at the same time actual style. And especially fashionable young ladies are constantly throwing the words “haute couture” and “ready-to-wear”. For those who do not fully understand their meaning and do not want to get into trouble, I propose to understand.
Models on the Catwalk
Fashion trends in clothes are traditionally set by couturiers and fashion designers recognized by the world community. But here's a bad luck, when you look at the fashion models, majestically walking along the catwalks, there is, to put it mildly, bewilderment from the extravagance of the outfits that they demonstrate. And the first question that arises from the audience: "How can this be worn?" But for the creators of such outfits, they are much more than just clothes. This is an opportunity to express your imagination, artistic taste, etc. To create a new model of clothing for couturiers is like painting a portrait or painting a picture for an artist. These outfits are unique, they are made in one copy, they can be called handmade. Of course, such exclusive masterpieces are much more expensive than simple clothing models.
Clothing for everyone
But the clothes that are suitable for use by wide layers of the population in the world of fashion are called "ready-to-wear". Translated from French, this term means "ready-made dress" or "ready to use." Variants of clothes of this class are made, as a rule, according to sketches and patterns of couturiers or leading fashion designers, but unlike “haute couture” models, they are sewn in factories and in large batches. That is, from the unique clothing created by the couturier, they choose such models that can be adapted and economically used in the future, while giving those who wish to see such dresses not only in magazines or on the catwalk, but also in boutiques or ordinary stores. And by the way, ready-to-wear is one of the main sources of income for model houses. Agree, this fully explains the fact that on the street or on the bus you are unlikely to meet a girl dressed in an expensive exclusive dress. But the outfit from the class of general consumption on it may well be.
As a rule, ready-to-wear clothing is of high quality and is marked with the name label of its creator or brand. And although the model can exactly repeat any “haute couture”, its cost is several times cheaper.
Collection presentation
Demonstration of the ready-to-wear collection, in contrast to the haute couture presentation, is carried out much earlier than the start of the season. So, summer collections are presented in October-November, and winter collections in April-May. That is, clothing manufacturers should have time to focus on design trends to make outfits for women of fashion by the beginning of the season.
Summer fashion
Speaking about the summer 2014 collection, ready-to-wear, the following trends can be distinguished. This season, designers decided to please the beautiful ladies with calmer classic styles, the dominance of simple cut is traced. Although in some collections, along with minimalism, there is a layering and an abundance of decor, and next to the straight and chiseled cut there are voluminous and free forms resembling flying clouds. One thing is indisputable - the designers focus on femininity; in the current season there is no unisex style. Of the new trends, sporty style is noteworthy, especially based on surfing, and shirt dresses.
The color scheme of ready-to-wear-2014 is represented mainly by calm, pastel colors. All shades of violet are relevant (from pale lavender to orchid), sand tones, orange and yellow, the colors of freesia and red capsicum, a soft shade of gray and green.
The quality of fabrics to match the season - they are light and transparent. Many designers actively used guipures and chiffon in their collections. Ladies are invited to try on dresses made of translucent chiffon, lace or macrame, under which underwear is visible. It seems that the designers seriously decided to expose the girls and show what should be hidden from prying eyes.
Features of the cut
Speaking of styles, it should be noted that the high waist of trousers and skirts returns to fashion. Low-rise jeans are a thing of the past. Moreover, the width and cut of the trousers can also be chosen to taste. They can be flared from the hip, narrow with a smoothed arrow, similar to cigarette pants or classic straight. The main thing is that they emphasize the length of the legs and the harmony of the figure.
As for the length of skirts and dresses, here the opinions of fashion designers diverged, each has its own length, although there is a slight advantage of midi. A special difference between skirts and dresses that are fashionable this season are asymmetrical hem and even sleeves.
In addition to the high waists of skirts and trousers, designers offer cropped tops with a wave-like trimmed edge and often contrasting piping. Various shirts remain popular. Lovers of the neckline should consider that it is unfashionable. In the new season, it is much more relevant to wear a dress or sundress with a neckline on the back. Moreover, the cutouts can be very diverse: deep and not very, curly, trimmed with lace or drapery, the main thing is that they emphasize the bending of the back.
As noted above, the trendy trend is decor. Particularly popular were sequins of various shapes and sizes, from which some designers were able to create real 3D-pictures. Applications from transparent fabrics, fringe, lace - all this has the right to life this summer.
Summarizing all of the above, we can say that the ready-to-wear fashion of the new season is very diverse, it is very simple to be fashionable this summer. Designers have provided us with a wide selection in terms of styles of dresses, and in a variety of colors. It remains only to decide on their own preferences and capabilities. Have a good choice!
