Last night, Sydney’s most fashionable people gathered for David Jones’ A/W 18 show. Fitting with the theme of the campaign, “Take the Leap”, the presentation was anything but boring. Starring Australian supermodel, Victoria Lee, the show definitely got us excited for the trends that we’re about to see as the cooler weather rolls around. Modelled by the likes of Mali Koopman, Jenella Powell, and Jessica Gomes, the styles we’re about to be wearing are definitely a departure from winter seasons past.
Rather than neutral blacks and greys that are common in autumn and winter designs, the show was punctuated by bright colours and playful hemlines. Also, it looks like bold, jewel-toned pieces are on the horizon, adding a new flair to cold-weather apparel.
In addition, we can expect to see some classic, winter staples get an update. Think of your favourite winter essentials, but reinterpreted. Uniquely cut suits, blouses, and trousers are all about to be big. We can also expect that in the upcoming season fun prints and bold accessories will also be incorporated into typical winter outfits, for a new take on dressing for dreary days.
One last groundbreaking trend worth mentioning? Florals… for winter. With dark colours and exotic prints, this trend stands apart from its springtime counterpart. Giving off a more sophisticated aura, we can expect to see florals transition away from a print reserved for summer picnic sundresses, as it becomes a statement-making base for cocktail dresses and work-wear alike.
