But let’s take a step back and talk about trends. Fashion month tell a story about two opposing halves; On the one hand, designers such as Christopher Kane and Jil Sander have taken a no-nonsense approach, adorning their clothes with sequins and embellishments, creating styles that are maximally fashionable from fabrics with high gloss and often invites us to party wear all year round.
