If your social feeds are a sea of street style and runway images, you're not alone—September marks Fashion's Biggest Month and we're back to give you all of our favourite moments!

And we wouldn't be a fashion podcast if we didn't discuss Anna Wintour stepping down as Head of Editorial Content at American Vogue.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to Amma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters
that this podcast is recorded on Hi. There, it's Lee again.
I promise I'm coming back soon, but in the meantime,
I am so excited to listen to this episode. We
have the wonderful Listenda per Cat returning again. As you
can tell, she's quite the regular here now, but we
also have the amazing Chelsea. She's a bit behind the
(00:35):
scenes here at Mamma Mia. She's one of the entertainment writers,
but her style and her fashion is impeccable. So if
your social feeds or anything like mine, you will be
in the middle of a sea of street style and
catwalk and runway images because it is the Big Four,
the fashion weeks from Paris, Milan, New York and London.
(00:55):
So the lovely Chelsea and amazingly Cinda are going to
unpack what it all means and what we're going to
see for trends in the future. Whoever said orange is
a new pink with seriously.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Disturbed laurels for spraying? Oh my god, you have to
do it. You live for fashion.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Hello and welcome to Nothing to Wear. The podcast that
solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. Each week,
we talk all things fashion, whether that's speaking with an expert,
deep diving into our favorite fashion trends, or like what
we're doing today, which is analyzing our favorite takeaways from
the major city fashion weeks. I'm here with Mumma MEA's
very own Chelsea Hoy. She's one of our entertainment writers here,
(01:37):
but most importantly, she's incredibly fashionable and stylish.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Chelsea, Welcome to the pod.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited
to be here, especially because it's officially fashion month. So
at the time we're recording this, we would have seen
New York, London and we're midway through Milan. So today
we both bought a few trends that we've been seeing
on and off the runway, and we're going to help
you get the fashion week look without the fashion week prices.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's right, and it is a mammoth month. September historically
is just a very big mum in fashion really because
it sort of sets the mark and tone for full
winter in the Northern Hemisphere, so that's a big time
for wholesalers, designers.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Just commercially, it's a big time.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But they've also got the September US Vogue issue, which
is the biggest issue for Vogue, not just size wise,
like it's huge, not quite Bible but like textbook, and
its production value.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
As well is really big. So whoever they.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Get on the front cover and usually like what they're
talking about in the issues really interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
From like a cultural lens.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So fun fact, I actually collect the Vogue September issues
and I've been doing it. I think my earliest editions
two thousand and six. Wow, So what's that twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Back then it was like Kate Moss that was like
supermodel era on the.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Front cover and they just mark these like cultural moments
in history. So twenty twenty was just a blank front cover,
so it was completely white, no text, just Vogue and
white for COVID obviously, so it's really interesting. So this
year for September US Vogue, they had Emma Stone and
I'm excited on speaking to Utaels as an entertainment editor.
(03:23):
What's Emmastone be doing? Why is she relevant to be
on the front cover of Vogue?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I mean, what's Emmastone not doing?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I feel like she's had banger after Banger. Yeah, literally
the last few years, there's not been a movie she's
been in that hasn't been sort of one of the
ones that's.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Got a lot of award buzz. Obviously, she won.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Her second Oscar very recently. She's really kind of at
a career peak right now, so that makes perfect sense
to me.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Nice well, and I think we'll just quickly before we
get into fashion Week and the runway shows. I don't
think we can be a fashion podcast without mentioning and
a wind tour. Stepping down from Vogue, she's been in
the helm of Vogue for thirty seven years. That's like
my age wild Yeah, but she stepped down. She's passed
(04:08):
the reins on to Chloe Mail, who was at all
of the fashion shows. I think she'll be a great
addition to the magazine. So for those who are unfamiliar
with Chloe Mail, she's thirty nine, two kids. She has
been with Vogue since twenty eleven, so she's got deep
experience within Vogue. She's headed up the digital side of
Vogue for sort of the past chunk of her career
(04:31):
and she's demonstrated huge growth within that space. And I
think that just is testament to her knowing her audience,
what people are interested in, what they're clicking on. And
I think she'll be great in terms of straddling the
tradition and heritage of Vogue, but then also bringing like
some freshness and innovation and just even with fashion Week.
I follow her on Instagram, and I'd suggest anyone who
(04:52):
doesn't follow her do so, because she's giving her behind
the scenes of fashion Week, which I guess Anna Wintaw
never did so on her stories that sort of backstage,
and she was at Ralph Lauren sitting opposite Oprah Winfrey
and Gail It was just nice insight. She's also the
host of the Rum podcast, which is Vogue Podcast. She's
a co host there, so it sort of humanizes her.
(05:14):
I feel like she's in your ears once a week,
so you know who she is. So I think she'll
be a.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Great addition to the magazine.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But we are here to talk about trends and fashion Week, so,
like you said, it's a huge bit's We've got the
Big four, so we start with.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
New York, London, Milan.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Paris, Cheles. Do you have a favorite fashion week? Is
the one that you get really really excited to see.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I mean, I do love them all, but I have
to say New York is my favorite, kind of by
a mile. I think as the city. I love New
York so much and I really feel like that vibrant
energy of the city really translates to the street style.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's so true.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And I think because it's the first show, it's almost
like the.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Cerulean sweater of the fashion shows. It's the first.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It sets the tone, it sets the scene, it sets
the trends for what we're about to see.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We talk about trends a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
On this podcast, and it's worth noting that the ones
we've mentioned before previously in recent episodes, we're definitely prevalent
at fashion weeks, so for example, the polka dots, the
head scarfs.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Bandanas, the balloon skirts.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
However, we didn't want to just rehash the trends that
we've given you guys. It is nice that it sort
of verifies and solidifies the trends that we've given you,
but we just wanted to come with fresh ones.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So we've got eight to share with you today.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Chelse, do you want to kick off with your first
trend that you saw at fashion week?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yees? So I did see a lot of brands really
playing with different textures on the runway, so I'm talking
fringe pomp poms. There were a lot of pompoms at
the Carbon Client show, emotionally yeah, and embellishments, And I
think this is a really fun one because sometimes I
think it can feel quite overwhelming trying to figure out
how to integrate some of these things into your wardrobe.
(06:54):
But I think the key is really to focus on
maybe one item that feels really different or unique in texture.
So maybe it's an embellished kind of sheer skirt, or
maybe it's a jacket with fringe on it, and the
kind of build around that, and you can kind of
use more understated new utual items from your closet and
really build a more balanced look that way.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's so true. I love that, and even like physical pompoms.
At the Area show, Nicholas Auburn had pomp poms, the
actual models carrying pom poms. He actually said, anyone wearing
area is having fun, and I think that's exactly what
pompoms is. It's just all about being fun occasion wear
dressing as well. The thing I love about what you're
(07:34):
talking with those tactole textures as well. You can stick
to silhouettes that you love and feel comfortable in. It's
just changing that texture or adding the fringing.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, that's so.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I think it's a very actually in a way subtle
and easy way to really change up your outfit without
kind of changing your right the silhouette that you're kind
of most comfortable in.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, so true.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well my first trend, I thought I'd just talk about color,
because colours, there's like over four.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hundred and there's four hundred and.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Fifty shows in total across the Big Four, so you're
obviously going to see a lot of color.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So whatever color you like wearing.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
To say, it's purple, you're going to see that at
aDNA sweet or orange was at MASONI. So always know
that your favorite color is always going to be around
and in season. But talking about trends and what's trending,
it's really interesting looking at fashion shows. What we usually
say in trend forecasting it takes three to become a trend.
So back in the day, I worked at this trend
forecasting agency in London, and this was before social.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Media, before vague rumway.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
We would sit and literally write down with pen and
paper when we're seeing the colors.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So in terms of colors.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
This year, we saw the first color was black and white.
Not that that's a color, but it was surprisingly very prevalent,
and it was a lot of the first looks for
brands as well, which is usually a big statement for
the tone of their collection. So we saw Ralph Lauren
Brand and Maxwell. We saw Richard Quinn, Kate, Alberta Faretti, Fendi,
(09:01):
Jill Sounder, everyone prominently showing black and white, which surprised
a lot of us knowing that we're really sort of
heading a little bit more towards that maximalist space and
playing with color. I'll get to color in a minute,
but it was just interesting that this black and white
took such center stage. And I think that's from two sides.
I think designers and fashion houses are feeling the commercial
(09:24):
pressure to create ready to wear or easy to digest collections.
So I think these commercial handcuffs. Back in the day
we used to see quite extravagant conture, avant garde fashion weeks.
It's dulled down a little bit this year. I found
did you find that it was a lot ready to wear?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I think, especially on the black and white topic, I
felt like this felt like something that was so easily
integratable into my own wardrobe, and things on the runway
felt a little bit more wearable. And I think it's interesting,
like black and white is something we all own in
all of our wardrobes, and I feel like the fact
that so many prominent fashion houses featured those colors in
the same outfit was interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, And you could almost look at an outfit and go,
I would wear that entire thing back in the day, go, WHOA,
that's crazy. And for anyone listening or watching at home,
I don't know if you've seen like reels of crazy
fashion weeks and someone's walking down the runway in like
tinsel or something.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
They were never really intended to be worn.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
It was more sort of a guiding light for the
collection of what that design is trying to share or
trying to demonstrate with his then ready to wear that
you could buy in store, but a lot of designers
can't do that now. I think it was Jonathan Simkai
who showed in New York. He was saying, I would
love to show a couture, one of a kind piece,
go down the wrong way. But I can't afford to
(10:42):
spend seventy thousand dollars on that one piece. It needs
to be ready to wear, it needs to be commercialized.
So I think that was the reason why we're seeing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
A lot of the black and white.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
In terms of other colors, the prominent ones that I've
seen so far pink, blue and red red. I feel
as a hangover from last year. It's always sort of
a classic evergreen color in fashion, but it was prevalent
in Calvin Klein, Gucci, Calvin Klein, I should be saying
(11:13):
Calvin Klein collection.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So Ronica Leoni.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Was the new creative director for Calvin Client collection. They're
trying to create that difference between just Calvin Klein as
we know of like the fragrance and the underwear, and
Calvin Klein Collection is their new luxury collection, which they showed.
They had a lot of red, same with Gucci. Pink
as well. We saw a lot of pink that bubblegum
pink we speak of almost salmon pink.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Terra cotta as well.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That was everywhere Calvin Client, Richard Quinn, Kate, plenty of pink.
And then the color that I was really interested in
seeing is this blue. I'm almost going to call it
a transformative teal. And it was exciting to see this
color because in trend forecasting we've been speaking about transformative
teal or blue aura being the color for twenty twenty six.
(12:00):
And what I mean by that is WGSN, who's a
trend forecasting company, and Cholero have come out saying this
will be the color for next year.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So to now see that slate into.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Fashion just verified that and it was exciting to see
this as actually coming to life. So Burbery really had
this nice transformative tear, which was lovely. Gucci as well.
I think we're just going to see more of it
as well in Milan and Paris. So I guess the
takeaway of this is it's nice that we've still got
our black and white staple wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But then pick your color that you like.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I think sometimes it's overwhelming in summer when there's so
many colors, what suits you what doesn't. What I like
to do is just pick a color. So last year
I chose like avocado green. So I have my black
and white staple wardrobe and if I was ever going
to buy color, it would be that avocado color.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah. I also think it's just easier to not have
to revamp your entire wardrobe. It's like select pieces that
within like a certain color palette that you kind of
focus on that year, which I love.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All Right, So what's your second trend? Chelse?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Okay, the second trend that I saw is layering, and
I know we kind of see a little bit of
that every year, but there were a few shows that
really stood out to me where they were just piling
on layers and layers of different things that I found
really interesting. So one of the brands that really stood
out to me was Lee, a New York based designer,
and they were kind of putting more structural types of clothing,
(13:34):
structured tanks on top of more structured and boxy T
shirts under long sleeve shirts, so just layers and layers
and layers and really playing with color blocking different patterns,
and I found that really interesting and very appropriate for
street style and something that you can really do very
easily just go into your wardrobe and looking at old
tank tops, T shirts, long sleeve shirts that you have
(13:57):
and just having fun with it. I think it's a
lot of trial and error with this, playing with different patterns.
Maybe it's stripes or different color palettes. One of the
ones I saw on the runway, which is really beautiful,
was white with like a light blue tea and then
a brown kind of shirt, and that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Color palette works really well.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
So I think it's one that you can really easily
take off the one way that again is very wearable
and doesn't feel like there's too much of a disconnect
between like high fashion and something that you could do.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I feel like this is a big influence from Copenhagen.
I could really feel that this year, particularly New York
and even like speaking of capn Klein with Veronica Aloni,
she worked at the Row and even though that's not scandy,
but I could feel that sort of like undone influence
in New York fashion. And yeah, that layering feeling of
(14:44):
just like putting things together. It's a nice way to
experiment with just breaking away from your basics and like
you were saying, putting things on, but even in reverse,
how would you layer them. Anna Sweet actually did some
really fun layering. I love Anna Sweet. She's been around forever.
She's like an American sweetheart in the fashion world. Apparently
she was like a big partier back in the day
(15:05):
and like, imagine partying without a swing dream. But she
did some really beautiful layering and it was almost like
this vintage Obviously all her collections have this vintage inspired look,
but it was almost like stepping into a beautiful vintage
store on Portobello Road and she's just pulled all these
things together, you know, skirts over jeans and tops over
(15:27):
tops and it just works.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So yeah, there's like a magic to that, and I
guess it makes you look fashionable without really having to try.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's what we love about Copenhagen, right, There's something.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Really effortless about being quite undone and mismatched totally and
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Nice, Okay. My third is utility accessories. This was such
a weird one to see. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I was like, is this actually becoming a trend? I
messaged a few friends in the industry. Did you see
this as well?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
ChEls? It was all sort of show after show people
were showing these.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I'm calling them mutility accessories practical pendance. Not quite sure
what this term is yet, but I first saw it
in Michael cause So because bless him is sixty six
years old now, one of the again like New York
brands that have been around those heritage brands. His show
was inspired all around his travel, so he's recently been
(16:22):
to Indonesia, French, Polynesia, Morocco, and these beautiful looks went
down the runway effortless, almost. He said he was taking
what he saw in that resort island life and bringing it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Into the urban modern world of New York.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So almost like loose fitting caftan dresses, belted and just
really nice, almost holiday style dressing.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But he had these.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Pendant necklaces which had a card holder on the bottom
of them.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then we.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Saw coach with bags which had the keys on the outside,
so like visible keys, and it was just this focus
on accessories and practical accessories. We saw Brandon Maxwell, so
they had these really lovely bags with a newspaper holder
so you can have your newspaper on display that you
were carrying around. And we saw Cape Barton with the
(17:13):
phone cases, we saw airport cases.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We saw Off.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
White have bum bags with pockets. So it's this ongoing,
reoccurring trend around utility accessories, which.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Is an interesting one.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I think it goes back to we've been talking a
lot about functional style dressing, gork core, gorp cause a
funny one, a bit more athleisure where but I think
we're now seeing that practical style enter high fashion. And
just did you know gorpcore fun fact actually stands for
so you know, we talk about GORP core with your
Solomon's and your R six shoes and you work walking
(17:49):
around the city.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
It stands for.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Good old raisins and peanuts, which is which is so random?
Isn't it funny where these trend names come from. But
it stands that's like a practical snack that people have
when they're hiking and bouldering, So.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Of peanuts, Corp Corp.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So I think we're just seeing that trickle into high fashion.
And it goes back to this maybe that commercial pinch
and also how people were spending, because I can see
these being at a lower price point. So just like
a card holder is an easier, low hanging fruit entry
point into a luxury brand, so it's easier for consumers
(18:28):
to buy. So takeaway from that is maybe instead of
looking at a big bag purchase at the end of
the year when your bonus comes in or you know,
for Christmas, you really wanted a bag, this is just
a nicer, easy way into luxury and practical.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You can almost like justify the purchase. Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I think I saw it literally was litter all over
the run with this time, like you couldn't miss it.
I was looking at New York based designer Rachel Comey
had a similar thing where it was this really thin
leather belt that wraps around the waist and then on
it is like a little bag the whole like bum bag.
Waist bags was huge this entire season, and I kind
of love it. I love a utility accessory, whether it
(19:07):
is actually practical or not.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Do you use the world where it's a phone holder
at the moment? Yeah, yeah, I have one of those.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I love something that kind of feels still in the
fashion world but is actually useful. And I mean, I'm
thinking of that bag that I was just talking about.
It's a tiny, tiny one. I don't know what you
can sell.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
In this well, because I thought it was maybe a
coin purse, because you know, like the world is going
to this like bagless society, but you still need the
odd coins for like maybe the wool worst trolley or something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, And I think maybe that's why we're seeing these
utility accessories. It is where is it becoming a bagless society?
I know wallet purchases have gone down, so maybe that's
it's a commercial.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I think it is a similar thing how we've kind
of phased out large wallets. Everyone's either got like a
carltolder or like a very small purse you can kind
of fit maybe a couple of cards in. People aren't
really carrying coins or kind of larger items anymore. And
I feel like it's the same sort of shift towards less.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, So what was your fourth one then? Or our
your third?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Okay, so this is an interesting one. Peplam was really
prevalent on the runways, really kind of styled in a
monochromatic look. I found across a few shows. Adam, Lippers,
Ashly and Kate all had these monochromatic in different colors,
were like white, navy red, but peplam with some sort
of like a trouser or a skirt in the same tone.
(20:32):
And I have a bit of a love hate with peplam.
I don't know if you have the same thing, but
it really reminds me of the twenty tens when we
had that.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Kind of corporate girly era.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Everyone was wearing that like very structured peplum top with
like a pencil skirt to the necklaces, to the club
giant heels, with like the huge platform. It just like
completely takes me back to that time. So whenever I
see peplerm, I'm sort of like, look. But I will
say though, there were some really beautiful looks on the runway,
(21:03):
and I think, you know, sometimes a softer peplum with
a bit of like a looser flowing pants or something
like that, really really beautiful. And I do think peplam
is something that feels quite versatile. So if you were
to buy like a peplum top, it could be styled
for a lot of different occasions. Potentially styled up with
some sort of a skirt and heels for a fancier occasion,
(21:23):
or dressed down with some jeans totally flat. So I
do think it's a very versatile piece for the wardrobe. Yeah,
but I'm just I'm still not sure how I feel
about it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I did gauk at it initially, but then when I
was seeing how it was styled. Colleena Strata in New York.
Her show had a lot of peplum tops. She had
a beautiful show. Actually it was not. Many don't have
a stunning backdrop location as much anymore because they're obviously
such big investments. But hers was done at a helipad
downtown Manhattan. The sun was setting and just these beautiful
(21:52):
model was walking down in peplam. But I thought what
was different is how she styled them. You know, back
in the day, you'd wear your pepfulam, like you said,
with like a tight pencil skirt or tight bottom, which
is sort of how we're taught with fashion. You balance
the silhouette, right, But she was doing peplum top with
baggy and it looked cool. So I think this time
(22:12):
around wearing pepflum, which I think I'll do. I actually
bought a peplum top the other day from Harris Tappa,
so yeah, and I was wondering how to style it.
I was getting freaked out thinking of the twenty tens,
but having the peplum tops or the bigger top with
the bigger bottom, so it goes against what the rule general.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Rule is, but it looks just really cool, comfortable.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah, and it's not having resurgence.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, and we're not dressing for that male gaze anymore.
I think it's just about looking, feeling comfortable and how
you want to dress, like it's a cool girl way
of dressing, Whereas I think we had to sort of
balance out if you're looser on top, you know, tighter
pants to show off some figures, like we're not about
that anymore, which I really like it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah, I love that. It feels very effortless. And I
will say something, I think maybe that is a bit
off putting. Not I mean no offense of everyone. Still
if you love that stuff, not not to knock it,
but I do think the structure of it, the fact
that your top is really structured a structured bottom, I
feel like something about that feel a little bit imbalanced
to me.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Totally. Yeah. So my next trend that we saw a
lot of, and I know it's sort of a broad term,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Belts, belts, belts, belts.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And the good thing with this it could be it
was quite versatile. So it was either stacked belts, which
I really liked, like double.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Stacked triple staff and we're seeing this everywhere, or.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's the size it could be loose, the thicker nighties
style belt down on the jeans and the hips. But
then there was also Calvin Klein with the really small
belting with like a flowy dress. So yeah, Calvin Climb,
Michael Cores and a suit. The thing I love about
this it's such a low hanging fruit trend that anyone
can jump on and no matter what your silhouette is
(23:54):
or your figure, you can make a belt work and
just the variations of them. I was in an ot
shop the other day and there's just so many of
those nineties thick belts, So just a nice entryway into
this trend.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Like I've just been waiting for that nineties trend of
like low rise pants.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
With the belt to really come back. Like I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I remember I don't know, being younger and wearing like
belts even with like tassels and fringe on the side,
with like low rise pants. I love that look so much.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Totally so happy that they're back.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
And you're right, it's something that like walk into any
like secondhand shop, even on like deep hop any like
vintage store, belts are everywhere so easy to find. Yeah,
and you're just like a fun way to really like
spice up an outfit.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I'm going to try the like double belt, triple belt stack.
I think that's really cool over a jacket an oversized blazer,
Like that's a bit high fashion. Yes, I'm going to
give that a go. I saw Pip Edwards do it
in New York recently, she was there.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Do you also love a belt over like I remember?
I think it's the Alta Zara show that I saw
like a burgundy really fitted leather jacket with like a
belt over top through the loops and I love that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I feel like that's.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Something that I'm definitely gonna.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Try totally and Western as well. That was almost going
to be one of my trends. There's still that sort
of ongo going Western cowboys trend that we could see
through the belts as well. So those big buckles, the
big metal hardware on the front. I should also mention
that with Michael Kaws. Did you notice that they had
the hardware hanging and also it was belted to the side.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yes, I love that, Like it's such an interesting way.
I wonder though, whether that's achievable using something you would
have at home. I would have to understand, like how
the mechanism of that works. When you're right, they had
like the part where you would buckle kind of hanging
off the side, which I thought.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Was so interesting. So that was the detail.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay, so my last trend, which I have to say
I'm ecstatic about is distressed denim is back, which is crazy.
So it feels very twenty tens to me. But I've
just been waiting for this to come back ever since
it's gone out of fashion.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
To be honest, I still.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Have all of my distressed and gens in.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
The back of my cupboard, which I'm definitely going to.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I remember I have a pair of leviyes that have
like a lot of distressing down the front. I also
used to just distress my own genes, like I would
kind of make concisions and then.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Fray that that's really cool.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
The thing about it is that you always have to
cop at some event like an uncle or animal complex.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Something's happened to your pants. But I just I love it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
One Teaspoon that was always a big brand distress Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Love distressing.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, like Brandon Maxwell, Simkai Area all had a lot
of like distress finishes, kind of exposed seams total and
like ripped knees, which I just I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I did notice that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
When I saw Jonathan Simkai's collection and it was the
ripped from like thigh to bottom, like all the gene
was ripped, I was like, oh my gosh, this can't
be happening.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
What a time.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I did find that some are a little bit more discreet.
I think it was the Brandon Maxwell where it was
just the knee slit.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Do you remember those? Yeah, yeah, so yeah, at least
you've got that option. But you're right.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I couldn't believe it myself. I was like, this is happening.
It's about time, though.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I think so. I also feel like we have been
living in this kind of quite like clean girl esthetic
que simple even like a straight leg pant has been
in for a really long time, and now that we
are kind of reverting back to this more like maximalist style,
I do feel like we are going to see a
resurgence of these trends that kind of have fallen off
for a bit.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, and I should say, not just distress Dannam, but
did you notice there's just a whole lot of denim,
which is really nice to see for spring summer. There
was a little bit of discourse online actually about the
Calvin Klein collection because she showed a lot of critics say,
if you're going to show denim on the runway, make
sure it's different, and I think that's exactly what sim
(27:44):
Kai did. Calvin Clin collection just had a classic denim jacket.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
With matching genes.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But I think that was just a nod to Calvin
Klein and the history of Calvin Klein. That's almost part
of their brand DNA, so I'm not sure maybe they
can get away with that. And a lot of eyeballs
were on veronically one with her new collection. So anyways,
I do agree with that, if you're going to do
something with denim on the runway, make it different.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And that's what that distress was. Yeah, it's cool to
see love all right.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
My next one didn't quite know what to call this,
but I really want to just focus on the hips.
So the hips were hipping, so a lot of exposed
hips or just emphasizing the hips. So sinching in the waist,
going to speak specifically to Kate, which is like the
New York Sweetheart brand. At the moment, everyone's obsessed with Kate.
(28:34):
I feel like it was the Row, now it's Kate.
Some people call it Kyrte, but it's Kate, I feel like,
and Ralph Lauren. I always it's Ralph Lauren. I say,
Ralph Lauren, I feel like Australians like just sort of
add a fancy bit to it. But he's nut French,
Ralph Lauren. So Kate, Kate Holstein is the designer.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
She did some really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Pieces low rise skirts, like midi skirts that were sitting
on the hips. So these beautiful polka dot skirts with
exposed hips, but then those really structured tops that sinched
into the waist then like emphasizing the hips. And I
thought that's really interesting and a nice thing to just consider.
So it's not a practical, tangible trend. It's more something
(29:17):
going right. We can kind of depending what your physique is,
if you feel comfortable sort of wearing low rise. We
know low rise is everywhere jeans, the meaty skirts, it's
low rise is a trend for spring summer.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
So if you feel comfortable exposing, do you wear low
rise shells?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I do.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Now, it's actually interesting that you say that. I think
when low rise first came back there was quite a
lot of pushback in general, I mean me included. I
think it does feel quite daunting. It does, but I
actually think it's very flattering foremost all body types.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Unexpectedly, I agree, unexpected give it a go.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And I think as someone who I like comfort is
really like above all for me, and someone who has
like ibs and a very sensitive stomach, I actually think
that low rise jeans are the way. It's actually so
much more comfortable than wearing high rise and I think
depending on how you style it, it can actually be so flattering.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I love that trend.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So that's eight trends that people can take away from
the big major fashion weeks. Well, I guess we've still
got a little bit of Milan and Paris, so there's
so much. It is a mammoth month. A bit of
a shout out as well. Paris Fashion Week. We've got
Age and Zimmerman showing, which is so exciting to have
some Assie presence over there.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's so cool.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
True, I should actually mention as well. A bit of
a shower to New Zealand. I've just got it they actually.
I know we talk about September being a big month
with the four but the New Zealand Fashion Week was
at the beginning of September, which is so cool. And
they actually didn't show in twenty twenty four because they
just it wasn't financially viable, so this was they were
back for.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Twenty twenty five. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I spoke with Natalie Zanita, who was the director of
IMG Australian Fashion Week and she's moved over to be
on the board.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Of New Zealand Fashion Week. She's actually my old boss.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
She was saying their main priority is just to with
this New Zealand Fashion Week is just to build that
confidence and reassurance and everyone that not just with wholesalers, designers,
but the fashion community at large that New Zealand's got
amazing designers and talent. And there was two standout shows.
There was Karen Walker. They collaborated with added ass. Do
(31:26):
you know hobby riders hobby horse riders, Chelsea, Have you
ever seen that on your socials where they ride the
fake horses around on the stick. I don't want toss
it too much because we might have listeners or watchers
who hobby horse ride. It's like an actual competition. But
Karen Walker had a professional hobby rider go down like
an obstacle course on the runway, So like anyway, it's funny.
(31:49):
Ann Harris Tapper beautiful brand. So just a side note
there for New Zealand that there's some incredible brands over there.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It's very expensive, dam honey, how wondred these twenty five percent?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So now we've done our trends, should we move into
bougie and budget?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yes, let's do it. So Chells, what's your bougie? Okay?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
So my bougie is a simone rocha draped tap it
up peplum top divine.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Over a thousand dollars. But it's so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
It's this black, the draping on it is beautiful. It's
a really subtle kind of peplum, which I think would
be really easy to.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Style and just so gorgeous. So, Chef's kiss, are you
going to get that one? I probably will? Really, that's
so cool. I love that. I think I've ever spent
that at the top.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I would love to get into peplum. I feel like
that's that's my way, is the one.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Well, that is amazing. My bougie isn't quite that expensive
all though? What sort of is Sabu? Have you ever
shot from Sabu?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I haven't.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I know the brand, but I haven't bought anything I
have slightly.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Overpriced for what they are, like I dare say, Sabu.
I don't know if they're advertising here, but.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Sabou. It's a drop waist midi dress.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I've actually got this dress in red, and I love
that low waist. It's sort of again, it's that emphasis
on the hips in a way.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Got it in red.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Love the classic red trend coming into spring summer. But
there's also black and white, and knowing that's so prevalent,
I wouldn't mind I wear this dress all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I wouldn't mind getting the black or white. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I feel like if a dress works, you need it
in multiple colors.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Dresses, bikinis, I think anything that works for you. By
jeans in yeah, what color should I get?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Black or white?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I would go with white. I do own a lot
of black, but I do feel like, yeah, something about
white just really pops.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, nice one? All right, what's your budget? Okay?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
This is actually kind of all over social media. I
don't think it's necessarily a secret, but the verg Girl
sequin middi skirt, Yeah, I own it, I love.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
It, I like I love it. Yeah, I sorely wear
it in the elevator here, that's like, where's that from?
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Birch Go, And then I bought myself one because it's
stunning and just so easy to style. So I'll usually
just pop like an oversized kind of like white T shirt.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, your blazer so easy to.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Work and that goes back to your first trend with
those like tac Doles tangible exactly, and it's an easy one.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
To lay out.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah, so really perfect piece for summer. All right, My
budget is a so talking about the pendent necklaces. Albeit
this one isn't a utility style one. It's just a
nice pendant necklace. It's from Cause seventy nine dollars, which
I thought was pretty yeah, okay yeah Forcause. Yeah, just
a nice summer I can see throughout spring summer those
(34:51):
style of necklaces where it's on.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Like that black cord everywhere.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
This is just a really nice one for summer. So yeah,
seventy nine bucks.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
I also feel like it's just such an easy thing
to throw on, but immediately the outfit, there's like taking
a step.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Off totally and you can look at that girl and go,
she knows, yeah, she's doing.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Well.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I think that's all we have time for today. Thank

Speaker 1 (35:22):
We'll be back soon. Bye.
You're listening to Amma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters
that this podcast is recorded on Hi. There, it's Lee again.
I promise I'm coming back soon, but in the meantime,
I am so excited to listen to this episode. We
have the wonderful Listenda per Cat returning again. As you
can tell, she's quite the regular here now, but we
also have the amazing Chelsea. She's a bit behind the
(00:35):
scenes here at Mamma Mia. She's one of the entertainment writers,
but her style and her fashion is impeccable. So if
your social feeds or anything like mine, you will be
in the middle of a sea of street style and
catwalk and runway images because it is the Big Four,
the fashion weeks from Paris, Milan, New York and London.
(00:55):
So the lovely Chelsea and amazingly Cinda are going to
unpack what it all means and what we're going to
see for trends in the future. Whoever said orange is
a new pink with seriously.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Disturbed laurels for spraying? Oh my god, you have to
do it. You live for fashion.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Hello and welcome to Nothing to Wear. The podcast that
solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. Each week,
we talk all things fashion, whether that's speaking with an expert,
deep diving into our favorite fashion trends, or like what
we're doing today, which is analyzing our favorite takeaways from
the major city fashion weeks. I'm here with Mumma MEA's
very own Chelsea Hoy. She's one of our entertainment writers here,
(01:37):
but most importantly, she's incredibly fashionable and stylish.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Chelsea, Welcome to the pod.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited
to be here, especially because it's officially fashion month. So
at the time we're recording this, we would have seen
New York, London and we're midway through Milan. So today
we both bought a few trends that we've been seeing
on and off the runway, and we're going to help
you get the fashion week look without the fashion week prices.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's right, and it is a mammoth month. September historically
is just a very big mum in fashion really because
it sort of sets the mark and tone for full
winter in the Northern Hemisphere, so that's a big time
for wholesalers, designers.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Just commercially, it's a big time.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But they've also got the September US Vogue issue, which
is the biggest issue for Vogue, not just size wise,
like it's huge, not quite Bible but like textbook, and
its production value.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
As well is really big. So whoever they.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Get on the front cover and usually like what they're
talking about in the issues really interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
From like a cultural lens.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So fun fact, I actually collect the Vogue September issues
and I've been doing it. I think my earliest editions
two thousand and six. Wow, So what's that twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Back then it was like Kate Moss that was like
supermodel era on the.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Front cover and they just mark these like cultural moments
in history. So twenty twenty was just a blank front cover,
so it was completely white, no text, just Vogue and
white for COVID obviously, so it's really interesting. So this
year for September US Vogue, they had Emma Stone and
I'm excited on speaking to Utaels as an entertainment editor.
(03:23):
What's Emmastone be doing? Why is she relevant to be
on the front cover of Vogue?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I mean, what's Emmastone not doing?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I feel like she's had banger after Banger. Yeah, literally
the last few years, there's not been a movie she's
been in that hasn't been sort of one of the
ones that's.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Got a lot of award buzz. Obviously, she won.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Her second Oscar very recently. She's really kind of at
a career peak right now, so that makes perfect sense
to me.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Nice well, and I think we'll just quickly before we
get into fashion Week and the runway shows. I don't
think we can be a fashion podcast without mentioning and
a wind tour. Stepping down from Vogue, she's been in
the helm of Vogue for thirty seven years. That's like
my age wild Yeah, but she stepped down. She's passed
(04:08):
the reins on to Chloe Mail, who was at all
of the fashion shows. I think she'll be a great
addition to the magazine. So for those who are unfamiliar
with Chloe Mail, she's thirty nine, two kids. She has
been with Vogue since twenty eleven, so she's got deep
experience within Vogue. She's headed up the digital side of
Vogue for sort of the past chunk of her career
(04:31):
and she's demonstrated huge growth within that space. And I
think that just is testament to her knowing her audience,
what people are interested in, what they're clicking on. And
I think she'll be great in terms of straddling the
tradition and heritage of Vogue, but then also bringing like
some freshness and innovation and just even with fashion Week.
I follow her on Instagram, and I'd suggest anyone who
(04:52):
doesn't follow her do so, because she's giving her behind
the scenes of fashion Week, which I guess Anna Wintaw
never did so on her stories that sort of backstage,
and she was at Ralph Lauren sitting opposite Oprah Winfrey
and Gail It was just nice insight. She's also the
host of the Rum podcast, which is Vogue Podcast. She's
a co host there, so it sort of humanizes her.
(05:14):
I feel like she's in your ears once a week,
so you know who she is. So I think she'll
be a.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Great addition to the magazine.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But we are here to talk about trends and fashion Week, so,
like you said, it's a huge bit's We've got the
Big four, so we start with.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
New York, London, Milan.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Paris, Cheles. Do you have a favorite fashion week? Is
the one that you get really really excited to see.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I mean, I do love them all, but I have
to say New York is my favorite, kind of by
a mile. I think as the city. I love New
York so much and I really feel like that vibrant
energy of the city really translates to the street style.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's so true.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And I think because it's the first show, it's almost
like the.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Cerulean sweater of the fashion shows. It's the first.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It sets the tone, it sets the scene, it sets
the trends for what we're about to see.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We talk about trends a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
On this podcast, and it's worth noting that the ones
we've mentioned before previously in recent episodes, we're definitely prevalent
at fashion weeks, so for example, the polka dots, the
head scarfs.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Bandanas, the balloon skirts.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
However, we didn't want to just rehash the trends that
we've given you guys. It is nice that it sort
of verifies and solidifies the trends that we've given you,
but we just wanted to come with fresh ones.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So we've got eight to share with you today.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Chelse, do you want to kick off with your first
trend that you saw at fashion week?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yees? So I did see a lot of brands really
playing with different textures on the runway, so I'm talking
fringe pomp poms. There were a lot of pompoms at
the Carbon Client show, emotionally yeah, and embellishments, And I
think this is a really fun one because sometimes I
think it can feel quite overwhelming trying to figure out
how to integrate some of these things into your wardrobe.
(06:54):
But I think the key is really to focus on
maybe one item that feels really different or unique in texture.
So maybe it's an embellished kind of sheer skirt, or
maybe it's a jacket with fringe on it, and the
kind of build around that, and you can kind of
use more understated new utual items from your closet and
really build a more balanced look that way.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's so true. I love that, and even like physical pompoms.
At the Area show, Nicholas Auburn had pomp poms, the
actual models carrying pom poms. He actually said, anyone wearing
area is having fun, and I think that's exactly what
pompoms is. It's just all about being fun occasion wear
dressing as well. The thing I love about what you're
(07:34):
talking with those tactole textures as well. You can stick
to silhouettes that you love and feel comfortable in. It's
just changing that texture or adding the fringing.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, that's so.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I think it's a very actually in a way subtle
and easy way to really change up your outfit without
kind of changing your right the silhouette that you're kind
of most comfortable in.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, so true.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well my first trend, I thought I'd just talk about color,
because colours, there's like over four.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hundred and there's four hundred and.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Fifty shows in total across the Big Four, so you're
obviously going to see a lot of color.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So whatever color you like wearing.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
To say, it's purple, you're going to see that at
aDNA sweet or orange was at MASONI. So always know
that your favorite color is always going to be around
and in season. But talking about trends and what's trending,
it's really interesting looking at fashion shows. What we usually
say in trend forecasting it takes three to become a trend.
So back in the day, I worked at this trend
forecasting agency in London, and this was before social.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Media, before vague rumway.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
We would sit and literally write down with pen and
paper when we're seeing the colors.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So in terms of colors.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
This year, we saw the first color was black and white.
Not that that's a color, but it was surprisingly very prevalent,
and it was a lot of the first looks for
brands as well, which is usually a big statement for
the tone of their collection. So we saw Ralph Lauren
Brand and Maxwell. We saw Richard Quinn, Kate, Alberta Faretti, Fendi,
(09:01):
Jill Sounder, everyone prominently showing black and white, which surprised
a lot of us knowing that we're really sort of
heading a little bit more towards that maximalist space and
playing with color. I'll get to color in a minute,
but it was just interesting that this black and white
took such center stage. And I think that's from two sides.
I think designers and fashion houses are feeling the commercial
(09:24):
pressure to create ready to wear or easy to digest collections.
So I think these commercial handcuffs. Back in the day
we used to see quite extravagant conture, avant garde fashion weeks.
It's dulled down a little bit this year. I found
did you find that it was a lot ready to wear?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I think, especially on the black and white topic, I
felt like this felt like something that was so easily
integratable into my own wardrobe, and things on the runway
felt a little bit more wearable. And I think it's interesting,
like black and white is something we all own in
all of our wardrobes, and I feel like the fact
that so many prominent fashion houses featured those colors in
the same outfit was interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, And you could almost look at an outfit and go,
I would wear that entire thing back in the day, go, WHOA,
that's crazy. And for anyone listening or watching at home,
I don't know if you've seen like reels of crazy
fashion weeks and someone's walking down the runway in like
tinsel or something.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
They were never really intended to be worn.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
It was more sort of a guiding light for the
collection of what that design is trying to share or
trying to demonstrate with his then ready to wear that
you could buy in store, but a lot of designers
can't do that now. I think it was Jonathan Simkai
who showed in New York. He was saying, I would
love to show a couture, one of a kind piece,
go down the wrong way. But I can't afford to
(10:42):
spend seventy thousand dollars on that one piece. It needs
to be ready to wear, it needs to be commercialized.
So I think that was the reason why we're seeing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
A lot of the black and white.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
In terms of other colors, the prominent ones that I've
seen so far pink, blue and red red. I feel
as a hangover from last year. It's always sort of
a classic evergreen color in fashion, but it was prevalent
in Calvin Klein, Gucci, Calvin Klein, I should be saying
(11:13):
Calvin Klein collection.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So Ronica Leoni.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Was the new creative director for Calvin Client collection. They're
trying to create that difference between just Calvin Klein as
we know of like the fragrance and the underwear, and
Calvin Klein Collection is their new luxury collection, which they showed.
They had a lot of red, same with Gucci. Pink
as well. We saw a lot of pink that bubblegum
pink we speak of almost salmon pink.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Terra cotta as well.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That was everywhere Calvin Client, Richard Quinn, Kate, plenty of pink.
And then the color that I was really interested in
seeing is this blue. I'm almost going to call it
a transformative teal. And it was exciting to see this
color because in trend forecasting we've been speaking about transformative
teal or blue aura being the color for twenty twenty six.
(12:00):
And what I mean by that is WGSN, who's a
trend forecasting company, and Cholero have come out saying this
will be the color for next year.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So to now see that slate into.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Fashion just verified that and it was exciting to see
this as actually coming to life. So Burbery really had
this nice transformative tear, which was lovely. Gucci as well.
I think we're just going to see more of it
as well in Milan and Paris. So I guess the
takeaway of this is it's nice that we've still got
our black and white staple wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But then pick your color that you like.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I think sometimes it's overwhelming in summer when there's so
many colors, what suits you what doesn't. What I like
to do is just pick a color. So last year
I chose like avocado green. So I have my black
and white staple wardrobe and if I was ever going
to buy color, it would be that avocado color.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah. I also think it's just easier to not have
to revamp your entire wardrobe. It's like select pieces that
within like a certain color palette that you kind of
focus on that year, which I love.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All Right, So what's your second trend? Chelse?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Okay, the second trend that I saw is layering, and
I know we kind of see a little bit of
that every year, but there were a few shows that
really stood out to me where they were just piling
on layers and layers of different things that I found
really interesting. So one of the brands that really stood
out to me was Lee, a New York based designer,
and they were kind of putting more structural types of clothing,
(13:34):
structured tanks on top of more structured and boxy T
shirts under long sleeve shirts, so just layers and layers
and layers and really playing with color blocking different patterns,
and I found that really interesting and very appropriate for
street style and something that you can really do very
easily just go into your wardrobe and looking at old
tank tops, T shirts, long sleeve shirts that you have
(13:57):
and just having fun with it. I think it's a
lot of trial and error with this, playing with different patterns.
Maybe it's stripes or different color palettes. One of the
ones I saw on the runway, which is really beautiful,
was white with like a light blue tea and then
a brown kind of shirt, and that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Color palette works really well.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
So I think it's one that you can really easily
take off the one way that again is very wearable
and doesn't feel like there's too much of a disconnect
between like high fashion and something that you could do.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I feel like this is a big influence from Copenhagen.
I could really feel that this year, particularly New York
and even like speaking of capn Klein with Veronica Aloni,
she worked at the Row and even though that's not scandy,
but I could feel that sort of like undone influence
in New York fashion. And yeah, that layering feeling of
(14:44):
just like putting things together. It's a nice way to
experiment with just breaking away from your basics and like
you were saying, putting things on, but even in reverse,
how would you layer them. Anna Sweet actually did some
really fun layering. I love Anna Sweet. She's been around forever.
She's like an American sweetheart in the fashion world. Apparently
she was like a big partier back in the day
(15:05):
and like, imagine partying without a swing dream. But she
did some really beautiful layering and it was almost like
this vintage Obviously all her collections have this vintage inspired look,
but it was almost like stepping into a beautiful vintage
store on Portobello Road and she's just pulled all these
things together, you know, skirts over jeans and tops over
(15:27):
tops and it just works.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So yeah, there's like a magic to that, and I
guess it makes you look fashionable without really having to try.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's what we love about Copenhagen, right, There's something.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Really effortless about being quite undone and mismatched totally and
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Nice, Okay. My third is utility accessories. This was such
a weird one to see. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I was like, is this actually becoming a trend? I
messaged a few friends in the industry. Did you see
this as well?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
ChEls? It was all sort of show after show people
were showing these.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I'm calling them mutility accessories practical pendance. Not quite sure
what this term is yet, but I first saw it
in Michael cause So because bless him is sixty six
years old now, one of the again like New York
brands that have been around those heritage brands. His show
was inspired all around his travel, so he's recently been
(16:22):
to Indonesia, French, Polynesia, Morocco, and these beautiful looks went
down the runway effortless, almost. He said he was taking
what he saw in that resort island life and bringing it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Into the urban modern world of New York.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So almost like loose fitting caftan dresses, belted and just
really nice, almost holiday style dressing.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But he had these.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Pendant necklaces which had a card holder on the bottom
of them.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then we.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Saw coach with bags which had the keys on the outside,
so like visible keys, and it was just this focus
on accessories and practical accessories. We saw Brandon Maxwell, so
they had these really lovely bags with a newspaper holder
so you can have your newspaper on display that you
were carrying around. And we saw Cape Barton with the
(17:13):
phone cases, we saw airport cases.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We saw Off.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
White have bum bags with pockets. So it's this ongoing,
reoccurring trend around utility accessories, which.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Is an interesting one.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I think it goes back to we've been talking a
lot about functional style dressing, gork core, gorp cause a
funny one, a bit more athleisure where but I think
we're now seeing that practical style enter high fashion. And
just did you know gorpcore fun fact actually stands for
so you know, we talk about GORP core with your
Solomon's and your R six shoes and you work walking
(17:49):
around the city.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
It stands for.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Good old raisins and peanuts, which is which is so random?
Isn't it funny where these trend names come from. But
it stands that's like a practical snack that people have
when they're hiking and bouldering, So.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Of peanuts, Corp Corp.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So I think we're just seeing that trickle into high fashion.
And it goes back to this maybe that commercial pinch
and also how people were spending, because I can see
these being at a lower price point. So just like
a card holder is an easier, low hanging fruit entry
point into a luxury brand, so it's easier for consumers
(18:28):
to buy. So takeaway from that is maybe instead of
looking at a big bag purchase at the end of
the year when your bonus comes in or you know,
for Christmas, you really wanted a bag, this is just
a nicer, easy way into luxury and practical.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You can almost like justify the purchase. Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I think I saw it literally was litter all over
the run with this time, like you couldn't miss it.
I was looking at New York based designer Rachel Comey
had a similar thing where it was this really thin
leather belt that wraps around the waist and then on
it is like a little bag the whole like bum bag.
Waist bags was huge this entire season, and I kind
of love it. I love a utility accessory, whether it
(19:07):
is actually practical or not.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Do you use the world where it's a phone holder
at the moment? Yeah, yeah, I have one of those.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I love something that kind of feels still in the
fashion world but is actually useful. And I mean, I'm
thinking of that bag that I was just talking about.
It's a tiny, tiny one. I don't know what you
can sell.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
In this well, because I thought it was maybe a
coin purse, because you know, like the world is going
to this like bagless society, but you still need the
odd coins for like maybe the wool worst trolley or something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, And I think maybe that's why we're seeing these
utility accessories. It is where is it becoming a bagless society?
I know wallet purchases have gone down, so maybe that's
it's a commercial.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I think it is a similar thing how we've kind
of phased out large wallets. Everyone's either got like a
carltolder or like a very small purse you can kind
of fit maybe a couple of cards in. People aren't
really carrying coins or kind of larger items anymore. And
I feel like it's the same sort of shift towards less.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, So what was your fourth one then? Or our
your third?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Okay, so this is an interesting one. Peplam was really
prevalent on the runways, really kind of styled in a
monochromatic look. I found across a few shows. Adam, Lippers,
Ashly and Kate all had these monochromatic in different colors,
were like white, navy red, but peplam with some sort
of like a trouser or a skirt in the same tone.
(20:32):
And I have a bit of a love hate with peplam.
I don't know if you have the same thing, but
it really reminds me of the twenty tens when we
had that.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Kind of corporate girly era.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Everyone was wearing that like very structured peplum top with
like a pencil skirt to the necklaces, to the club
giant heels, with like the huge platform. It just like
completely takes me back to that time. So whenever I
see peplerm, I'm sort of like, look. But I will
say though, there were some really beautiful looks on the runway,
(21:03):
and I think, you know, sometimes a softer peplum with
a bit of like a looser flowing pants or something
like that, really really beautiful. And I do think peplam
is something that feels quite versatile. So if you were
to buy like a peplum top, it could be styled
for a lot of different occasions. Potentially styled up with
some sort of a skirt and heels for a fancier occasion,
(21:23):
or dressed down with some jeans totally flat. So I
do think it's a very versatile piece for the wardrobe. Yeah,
but I'm just I'm still not sure how I feel
about it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I did gauk at it initially, but then when I
was seeing how it was styled. Colleena Strata in New York.
Her show had a lot of peplum tops. She had
a beautiful show. Actually it was not. Many don't have
a stunning backdrop location as much anymore because they're obviously
such big investments. But hers was done at a helipad
downtown Manhattan. The sun was setting and just these beautiful
(21:52):
model was walking down in peplam. But I thought what
was different is how she styled them. You know, back
in the day, you'd wear your pepfulam, like you said,
with like a tight pencil skirt or tight bottom, which
is sort of how we're taught with fashion. You balance
the silhouette, right, But she was doing peplum top with
baggy and it looked cool. So I think this time
(22:12):
around wearing pepflum, which I think I'll do. I actually
bought a peplum top the other day from Harris Tappa,
so yeah, and I was wondering how to style it.
I was getting freaked out thinking of the twenty tens,
but having the peplum tops or the bigger top with
the bigger bottom, so it goes against what the rule general.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Rule is, but it looks just really cool, comfortable.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah, and it's not having resurgence.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, and we're not dressing for that male gaze anymore.
I think it's just about looking, feeling comfortable and how
you want to dress, like it's a cool girl way
of dressing, Whereas I think we had to sort of
balance out if you're looser on top, you know, tighter
pants to show off some figures, like we're not about
that anymore, which I really like it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah, I love that. It feels very effortless. And I
will say something, I think maybe that is a bit
off putting. Not I mean no offense of everyone. Still
if you love that stuff, not not to knock it,
but I do think the structure of it, the fact
that your top is really structured a structured bottom, I
feel like something about that feel a little bit imbalanced
to me.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Totally. Yeah. So my next trend that we saw a
lot of, and I know it's sort of a broad term,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Belts, belts, belts, belts.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And the good thing with this it could be it
was quite versatile. So it was either stacked belts, which
I really liked, like double.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Stacked triple staff and we're seeing this everywhere, or.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's the size it could be loose, the thicker nighties
style belt down on the jeans and the hips. But
then there was also Calvin Klein with the really small
belting with like a flowy dress. So yeah, Calvin Climb,
Michael Cores and a suit. The thing I love about
this it's such a low hanging fruit trend that anyone
can jump on and no matter what your silhouette is
(23:54):
or your figure, you can make a belt work and
just the variations of them. I was in an ot
shop the other day and there's just so many of
those nineties thick belts, So just a nice entryway into
this trend.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Like I've just been waiting for that nineties trend of
like low rise pants.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
With the belt to really come back. Like I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I remember I don't know, being younger and wearing like
belts even with like tassels and fringe on the side,
with like low rise pants. I love that look so much.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Totally so happy that they're back.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
And you're right, it's something that like walk into any
like secondhand shop, even on like deep hop any like
vintage store, belts are everywhere so easy to find. Yeah,
and you're just like a fun way to really like
spice up an outfit.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I'm going to try the like double belt, triple belt stack.
I think that's really cool over a jacket an oversized blazer,
Like that's a bit high fashion. Yes, I'm going to
give that a go. I saw Pip Edwards do it
in New York recently, she was there.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Do you also love a belt over like I remember?
I think it's the Alta Zara show that I saw
like a burgundy really fitted leather jacket with like a
belt over top through the loops and I love that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I feel like that's.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Something that I'm definitely gonna.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Try totally and Western as well. That was almost going
to be one of my trends. There's still that sort
of ongo going Western cowboys trend that we could see
through the belts as well. So those big buckles, the
big metal hardware on the front. I should also mention
that with Michael Kaws. Did you notice that they had
the hardware hanging and also it was belted to the side.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yes, I love that, Like it's such an interesting way.
I wonder though, whether that's achievable using something you would
have at home. I would have to understand, like how
the mechanism of that works. When you're right, they had
like the part where you would buckle kind of hanging
off the side, which I thought.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Was so interesting. So that was the detail.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay, so my last trend, which I have to say
I'm ecstatic about is distressed denim is back, which is crazy.
So it feels very twenty tens to me. But I've
just been waiting for this to come back ever since
it's gone out of fashion.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
To be honest, I still.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Have all of my distressed and gens in.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
The back of my cupboard, which I'm definitely going to.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I remember I have a pair of leviyes that have
like a lot of distressing down the front. I also
used to just distress my own genes, like I would
kind of make concisions and then.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Fray that that's really cool.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
The thing about it is that you always have to
cop at some event like an uncle or animal complex.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Something's happened to your pants. But I just I love it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
One Teaspoon that was always a big brand distress Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Love distressing.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, like Brandon Maxwell, Simkai Area all had a lot
of like distress finishes, kind of exposed seams total and
like ripped knees, which I just I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I did notice that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
When I saw Jonathan Simkai's collection and it was the
ripped from like thigh to bottom, like all the gene
was ripped, I was like, oh my gosh, this can't
be happening.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
What a time.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I did find that some are a little bit more discreet.
I think it was the Brandon Maxwell where it was
just the knee slit.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Do you remember those? Yeah, yeah, so yeah, at least
you've got that option. But you're right.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I couldn't believe it myself. I was like, this is happening.
It's about time, though.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I think so. I also feel like we have been
living in this kind of quite like clean girl esthetic
que simple even like a straight leg pant has been
in for a really long time, and now that we
are kind of reverting back to this more like maximalist style,
I do feel like we are going to see a
resurgence of these trends that kind of have fallen off
for a bit.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, and I should say, not just distress Dannam, but
did you notice there's just a whole lot of denim,
which is really nice to see for spring summer. There
was a little bit of discourse online actually about the
Calvin Klein collection because she showed a lot of critics say,
if you're going to show denim on the runway, make
sure it's different, and I think that's exactly what sim
(27:44):
Kai did. Calvin Clin collection just had a classic denim jacket.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
With matching genes.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But I think that was just a nod to Calvin
Klein and the history of Calvin Klein. That's almost part
of their brand DNA, so I'm not sure maybe they
can get away with that. And a lot of eyeballs
were on veronically one with her new collection. So anyways,
I do agree with that, if you're going to do
something with denim on the runway, make it different.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And that's what that distress was. Yeah, it's cool to
see love all right.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
My next one didn't quite know what to call this,
but I really want to just focus on the hips.
So the hips were hipping, so a lot of exposed
hips or just emphasizing the hips. So sinching in the waist,
going to speak specifically to Kate, which is like the
New York Sweetheart brand. At the moment, everyone's obsessed with Kate.
(28:34):
I feel like it was the Row, now it's Kate.
Some people call it Kyrte, but it's Kate, I feel like,
and Ralph Lauren. I always it's Ralph Lauren. I say,
Ralph Lauren, I feel like Australians like just sort of
add a fancy bit to it. But he's nut French,
Ralph Lauren. So Kate, Kate Holstein is the designer.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
She did some really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Pieces low rise skirts, like midi skirts that were sitting
on the hips. So these beautiful polka dot skirts with
exposed hips, but then those really structured tops that sinched
into the waist then like emphasizing the hips. And I
thought that's really interesting and a nice thing to just consider.
So it's not a practical, tangible trend. It's more something
(29:17):
going right. We can kind of depending what your physique is,
if you feel comfortable sort of wearing low rise. We
know low rise is everywhere jeans, the meaty skirts, it's
low rise is a trend for spring summer.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
So if you feel comfortable exposing, do you wear low
rise shells?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I do.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Now, it's actually interesting that you say that. I think
when low rise first came back there was quite a
lot of pushback in general, I mean me included. I
think it does feel quite daunting. It does, but I
actually think it's very flattering foremost all body types.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Unexpectedly, I agree, unexpected give it a go.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And I think as someone who I like comfort is
really like above all for me, and someone who has
like ibs and a very sensitive stomach, I actually think
that low rise jeans are the way. It's actually so
much more comfortable than wearing high rise and I think
depending on how you style it, it can actually be so flattering.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I love that trend.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So that's eight trends that people can take away from
the big major fashion weeks. Well, I guess we've still
got a little bit of Milan and Paris, so there's
so much. It is a mammoth month. A bit of
a shout out as well. Paris Fashion Week. We've got
Age and Zimmerman showing, which is so exciting to have
some Assie presence over there.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's so cool.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
True, I should actually mention as well. A bit of
a shower to New Zealand. I've just got it they actually.
I know we talk about September being a big month
with the four but the New Zealand Fashion Week was
at the beginning of September, which is so cool. And
they actually didn't show in twenty twenty four because they
just it wasn't financially viable, so this was they were
back for.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Twenty twenty five. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I spoke with Natalie Zanita, who was the director of
IMG Australian Fashion Week and she's moved over to be
on the board.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Of New Zealand Fashion Week. She's actually my old boss.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
She was saying their main priority is just to with
this New Zealand Fashion Week is just to build that
confidence and reassurance and everyone that not just with wholesalers, designers,
but the fashion community at large that New Zealand's got
amazing designers and talent. And there was two standout shows.
There was Karen Walker. They collaborated with added ass. Do

Overpriced for what they are, like I dare say, Sabu.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Sabou. It's a drop waist midi dress.
Speaker 3 (33:12):

that low waist. It's sort of again, it's that emphasis
on the hips in a way.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Got it in red.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Love the classic red trend coming into spring summer. But
there's also black and white, and knowing that's so prevalent,
I wouldn't mind I wear this dress all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I wouldn't mind getting the black or white. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:33):

in multiple colors.

jeans in yeah, what color should I get?
Speaker 1 (33:43):

white just really pops.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
