Point garments will be a trend again next winter (and this will be its use manual)

Three are the global trends that define the next season of autumn-winter 2021/2022 according to the specialized website Tagwalk: optimism, gender games and protection.To the latter group belong the masks (11 designers included them in their parades being Rick Owens the onlythat 155%.Those of Miu Miu in fact reconcile with this childhood garment) and the monkeys adjusted to the catwoman, those who resort to 27 signatures such as Prada, Givenchy or Marine Serre.From shelter and shelter, the wool woven garments also know a lot, those who accompanied us during last year's confinements (in the O/I 20-21 season they became the queens of the catwalk) and, of course,During much of the history of humanity.

Few things have changed since then, apart from the growing concern for animal well -being and sustainability (80% of the chloé collection, the first designed by Gabriela Hearst, they come from recycled fibers, while in Salvatore Ferragamo el ElJersey fabric is made of recycled materials from plastic bottles).Wool continues to be a winning bet, season after season, even in summer, and a basic present in half -world cabinets, both female and male.And there is nothing that firms and designers like the basic word more, because where you see a garment that takes you out of any squeeze they see dollars, a safe place where to go back every time the crisis squeezes.So fate was written, there was no doubt that the collections for next winter would look tricotados by hand (thus kill two birds of a trio, putting in value the handicraft and to the manual work that appeals to tradition),Ponchos made with the patchwork technique and knitted dresses (little more need for a perfect styling).Here is a brief summary of the new (and not so new) trends in wool garments, and their corresponding use manual.

Coordinated with accessories

For the most lazy and for the creators of ‘I don't know what to wear’ the new winter season has found the perfect solution.Rather, Gabriela Hearst has done so, in which he is his first collection for Chloé, after last year he was appointed creative director of the iconic French house, replacing Natacha Ramsay-Levi.Two looks, one in beis and brown tones and another more colorful, in red, blue and oranges, have the response to all headaches that result from the combination of garments that hang from our cabinets.And it is that two long knitted dresses and round neck coordinate with large and crossed bags, bandoleras type, tricotados with the same material, as well as comfortable flat sandals with sheep sole.The investment will not be small, but how much does the peace of mind know that you will not be wrong with a styling?In his favor I have to add that both bags and sandals fit with countless garments, from jeans to lingerie dresses or leather costumes.

Crop Top -shaped

Another premiere in the collections of Prêt-à-Porter was the one starring Kim Jones, by Fendi's hand.The British, also creative director of Dior's male line (both belong to the LVMH group), replaced the late Karl Lagerfeld, at the head of the Italian house for more than half a century (record in the fashion industry) and, although itsdebut had occurred a couple of months before on the haute couture catwalk, the new reliable proposal reflects its intentions towards the emblematic signature."I wanted to build a closet for today's women, with Fendi's DNA, as I understand it," I said by video calling moments before his digital debut.And as he understands, the female population closet is full of crop tops.Also in winter.So better if these are wool (nobody forgets the Khaite model that provided one of the most exciting fashion moments in 2019 by Katie Holmes), Canalé, and matching a tube skirt.The stockings with Fendi's logo, that of the double F that will design Karl Lagerfeld, always add.

The poncho returns

Typical garment of the South American culture, the poncho returns to the catwalk not only by the hand of Gabriela Hearst - "I grew up in a ranch, surrounded by horses, cows and sheep," explained the Uruguayan designer in the pages of Vogue Spain–, whichHe introduces it to both Chloé's collection and his own (his design made with the patchwork technique and in bright colors all the spotlights in New York Fashion Week), but also of other firms, but Alberta Ferrettior Raf Simons.This off -road garment, made of wool, can be combined both with bell pants (thus emulating the 70s and their bohemian style) and with tailor suits, jeans or even leggings.

The tricoted jersey of your childhood

The nostalgia of the happy years, when our only concern was to know when we went down to play on the street or who was going to be your pipomate, it is powerful.So much that the catwalk has recovered the tricoted sweaters of our childhood, with greece, eight and even glitter (the best example is Chanel's pink chewing design), also granting an unusual freedom to combine them, the result of the new individualistic current that runs through the fashion industry.As Miu Miu, Chanel, Stella MacCartney, Raf Simons and, above all, Paco Rabanne, in which Julien Dossa is committed to an extravagant aesthetic, thanks to unlikely combinations - "eccentricity adopts different female identities,"The French creator affirmed after the presentation - like those of this gray tricoted jersey look, large neck shirt, stamped skirt, orange belt, leather gloves and crystal slopes.Fashion turned into a children's game.

Lilac

The lilac (belonging to the range of violets is similar to lavender and Malva), color of the season according to the collections of Miu Miu, Chanel, Balmain and Givenchy, also has its place insured in the wool section this seasonThanks to Altuzarra."Comfort, but with a fashion point".Thus defined the French designer his autumn/winter collection 21-22, where this look, composed of Top, long-sleeved and bare shoulders, and Long skirt of Canalé, to which a fabulous tricoted hat of thick point (I wish a little grunge by Marc Jacobs soon on the catwalk) and an XXL bag, this time with leather.A proposal adjusted to the times that run (look just as fabulous both in the heat of our homes and in the office or on the street) that, added to the lilac, exponentially increases our desire to buy.

Knitted (transparent) dress

The comfort of wool and long dresses in the same garment.Signatures and designers, knowledgeable about the appeal that awakens this combination, have multiplied their presence in the collections for this winter, where we find declines for all tastes.Thus, we brought knitted dresses in Proenza Schouler (thick and with a pronounced neckline), Missoni (with colored stripes), Ulla Johnson (in Earth tones), Gabriela Hearst (from Canalé wide and combined with skin pants) and Miu Miu Miu.In this case, Miuccia Prada, in one of the most outstanding proposals of the season, has opted for a transparent puppy design, whose attraction is largely in styling: gray woolly half and wool mittens, gloves and sheep bagCurly and Berdugo made in Angora.The counterpoint to so much wool is put by platform boots with XXL crystals and a silver collar of coins.Because as Miuccia itself explained in a later press conference, “this collection is about a desire to hide and dress for the party at the same time.They are daring but terrible garments ".

With extra long sleeves

Although until the RAF Simons collection was presented, I had not noticed me, the extra long sleeves are crowd this autumn/winter season 21-22.To them (I don't know how we are going to do to overcome a food in a restaurant without losing dignity) they turn from Stella McCartney (in squid jackets and paintings) to Awake (in pleated dresses), Balmain (in silver or silver sweaters orsailor stripes) and Givenchy (in a spectacular vision jacket Beis).But the prize in this category is taken by the Belgian creator, whose taste for oversize is reflected in XXL wool sweats with infinite sleeves.It is true that hand -shaped jewelry pieces can help us collect meters from wool and survive the vicissitudes of life dressed in this fabulous garment.What is clear is that it responds as few others to that protection instinct that this season seeks fashion.
