THE FUTURIST-INFLECTED METALLIC TREND
By Amandine Rouhaud | January 19, 2023
Ready for a fashion journey into space? A futurist breeze is blowing across the world of fashion, bringing a metallic shimmer to our wardrobes. Printemps takes a look at this edgy trend that can bring a twist to any look in a snap. Read more.
Daring, subversive, and totally on point. That's how we can sum up the use of metallics in the world of fashion. Recently, a sea of silver has unfurled in the collections from the biggest names like Balenciaga, Prada, and Alexandre Vauthier, as well as from newer brands like Ganni and Diesel.
Adding a futurist vibe with a touch of space travel, the metallic trend needs to be mastered in order to pull it off. It's about playing with finish and texture: chrome, lamé, iridescent or metallic finishes can help you bring a little bit of texture for a maximum shine effect.
TOTAL BRILLIANCE
Ready to be tempted by metallics and go all the way? A full metal look can work well. With Diesel's relaunch, the brand offers what just may be THE look of the season: shiny, acid mesh. As a dress, top or skirt, metallics are totally reinvented by Diesel.
For a more subtle effect, think of a finer mesh, closer to lurex, like the looks from Ester Manas or in a matching asymmetrical top and trouser from Roseanna.
A MASTERPIECE
Another way to adopt the metallic trend: with a key piece to build your look around, like a coat for example. Consider something serious and imposing from Moncler, or an iridescent skirt that's more discreet and easier to pair with a dark top for a softer look. If you like to go big for evenings, go for a really bold shine like a sequinned bodysuit à la Lady Gaga by Alexandre Vauthier or a discreetly iridescent top from Ganni. Anything is possible!
WALKING ON THE MOON
Everyone can agree that pulling off a chrome look can be a challenge. Far from being a unanimous decision among the fashion set, metallics can also work for a casual look. What about a bit of shine on your feet, with a pair of shoes that won't go unnoticed? Whether you prefer sneakers, loafers or sandals, you will find a shoe that fits!
A TOUCH OF METAL
Easier to rock than a full metal look, accessories can bring just the right sheen to more traditional outfits. Consider a mirror-effect handbag from Prada, a lamé cardholder from Miu Miu or iridescent mittens by Saison 1865. The trend can be distilled into little details that are easier to incorporate into your wardrobe with confidence. Trying out a bold fashion statement has never seemed easier, right?
