時尚前瞻 - 秋冬大衣

Fashion Trend Preview - Fall/Winter Coat 

雖然天氣還尚未轉涼，但眼見就快要到九月，也是時候開始裝置秋冬衣櫥。迎接冷天氣當然少不了必備的禦寒大衣，而縱觀秋冬時裝秀，今年大衣款式著重比例、圖案和皮草的各種變奏。

Though the weather has yet to turn cool, September is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about your fall/winter wardrobe.  The overcoat is of course a necessity to welcome cooler weather.  Looking at the 2014 fall/winter runway, this year the overcoat trend focuses on the play of proportions, patterns and fur.

 1. 斗篷 The Cape

斗篷一向都是秋冬常見的大衣款式，今季斗篷重點在於誇張的比例變換，過膝甚至長至腳踝 的斗篷在多場時裝秀紛紛登場。保守的你，可以選擇基本秋冬裸色或深色的長斗篷。若想低調而不過於單調，可以考慮像Valentino前短後長的變奏，增加斗篷的看頭。

The cape has always been a classic in fall/winter fashion, this year, capes concentrate on the play of proportions and length. Over the knee and full length capes can be seen in multiple designer runways.  If you don’t want to appear too over-the-top with the cape, basic fall/winter nudes and darks are good colors to go.  Length variations in the front and back like Valentino’s extended back hem cape are also stylish yet subtle designs.

 2. 格子 The Plaids

格子布是每年秋冬的必備圖案，想將格子穿得有變化，可以考慮選擇在顏色、布料或格子比例作出不一樣得選擇。就今季而言，無論是毛衣、襯衫或者大衣，在多場時裝秀都能看見漸變色的大格子和絨布或織布的格子物料。

Plaids is a recurring fabric every fall/winter and it can be difficult reinventing this classic pattern. To put a new spin on traditional plaids, you can consider experimenting with different colors, fabrics and sizes. In terms of this season, whether its sweaters, shirts or overcoats, many runways feature new ombre plaids and woven plaids.

3. 皮草 The Fur

進入秋冬季節當然不少得暖和的皮革。今季皮革趨勢除了誇張的大衣外，更多的是領子、袖 口、下擺的皮草點綴。除此以外，今年在BCBGMAXAZRIA、Balenciaga、Tory Burch等時 裝秀更看見皮草手罩取代手套為保暖衣飾。皮草點綴和可卸式皮草衣飾非常適合低調的秋冬 裝扮，也較適合缺乏寒冬的香港。

Furs are of course a staple of fall/winter wardrobe.  This year, fur trends not only feature oversized coats but also many fur accents on collars, sleeves and hem lines. Besides that, fur muffs are also seen to replace the glove as hand warmers on the runways of BCBGMAXAZRIA, Balenciaga, Tory Burch and more.  Fur embellishments and detachable fur accessories are very suitable for more understated looks and the moderate winters of Hong Kong.

2014 春夏季「 現代藝術與時尚邂逅 - Les Fauves 野獸派」

Spring/Summer 2014 “When Fashion Meets Modernism - Les Fauves”

2014春夏季Catwalk上多個系列都大玩色彩、圖案，充滿源自法國的20世紀畫派Les Fauves的神韻。野獸畫派強調絢麗的色彩運用，各地春夏設計的大膽色調都有著 Les Fauves 大師Matisse的風格。

The Spring/Summer 2014 runway saw an extravaganza of color and pattern, evoking the spirit of 20th century French Fauvism. The essence of Fauvism is a wild use of colors, designers from all over the globe were seen playing with a daring dash of colors, much in the style of Fauvism master Mattise.

Chanel今年的春夏系列以藝術為主題，Catwalk兩旁擺滿藝術品，多款設計都有著鮮艷拼色及畫筆刷染圖案。 Les Fauves 風格重點在於用色、潑墨、扎染、色板圖案等等都能製造野獸派效果。

Chanel’s Spring/Summer collection takes “Art” as its theme, the catwalk was decorated by art installations on both sides.  Many of Karl Largerfeld’s designs show feature swatches of a painter’s palette and brush stroke patterns.  The main tip of styling a Fauvist wardrobe is to mix and match colors; paint splash patterns, tie-dyes, and color spectrums are all good to make your ensembles a piece of Fauvist art.

喜愛大膽造型的妳可以考慮上下撞色、撞圖案，展現狂野精神。若比較保守但想嘗試 Les Fauves 造型的，可以考慮七彩上衣搭配淨色長短褲或半截裙，突出混彩主題。除 此之外，利用絲巾、飾物等也可以製造同樣效果。 

Those who aren’t afraid to stand out can clash the colors of tops and bottoms to fully capture the daring spirit of Fauvism.  For those who tread on the safe side but would still like to try out this look, consider matching basic pieces with color tops or bottoms, or even using accessories like scarves and jewelry to add that pop of color.
