One year ago, we were trying to predict what the 2020s would look like. After this season, our bets are on a period of rebellious personal style and a rebirth of subcultures. That will give us something to talk about from behind our screens—or even better, together again in person soon.
Collage Therapy
Designers like Gabriela Hearst, Marine Serre, and Stuart Vevers at Coach are patching together unused fabric scraps to produce coats, dresses, and upcycled tees. These collaged garments are not only sustainably minded, but also nod to a new, idiosyncratic aesthetic that is less about head-to-toe dressing and more about personal expression through style. It’s fashion with a little heart—and harmony.
Life Is a Cabaret—Dress for It
A brooding glamour is mounting across Europe, suggesting a reemergence look that is fabulous, but with a not insignificant bite. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons placed their bets on sequins and stoles, while Dries Van Noten is bringing back taffeta volumes and a little campy glitz. Tinsel at Rokh and surreal proportions at Marni round out the trend, promising a vampish scene come fall.
One-Piece Wonders
What can’t a catsuit do? In the hands of Tom Ford and LaQuan Smith, it is the sexiest—and sheerest—garment around. Yuhan Wang, Ottolinger, and Maisie Wilen built one-pieces that are artfully patterned and strange, while Erdem’s ballet-style cover-up seems perfect for a WFH week of lounging. No matter your taste, there is a fall 2021 onesie to match your lifestyle.
Pleats, Please
The power suits of recent seasons have morphed into quirky but prim pleated skirt sets. Options from 3.1 Phillip Lim, Plan C, and Schiaparelli are breezily stylish and well suited to office life, should it ever return, while Chopova Lowena, Collina Strada, and Arthur Arbesser offer bolder takes on the look.
Signs of the Times
Attention-getting logo mania is falling out of favor, but branding is still a big game. Donatella Versace imagined a new kind of logo—an allover key print—for her fall 2021 collection, Givenchy’s sheer separates were stitched with interlocked Gs, and Kim Jones revived an archival FF logo on slips and stockings at Fendi.
Pop Princesses
Millennial nostalgia has reached a fever pitch, bringing back the halcyon days of It girl–aughts style. Blumarine, Conner Ives, Alyx, and Roberto Cavalli are serving up Sunset Strip sweetness in the form of pastel minidresses, crystal tiaras, and other itsy bits that could turn anyone into Britney, Xtina, Mariah—or their 2020s counterparts Dua Lipa and Rina Sawayama. “XS” is very in.
Wrap Party
Who says a blanket isn’t a garment? Jonathan Anderson’s artful throws definitely do double duty. Ponchos and capes had a resurgence at Gabriela Hearst, Alberta Ferretti, and Missoni. Stella Jean, for her part, collaborated with the Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to employ the craftspeople who made her scenic wraps.
Ski Bunnies
Nature has been a reprieve for many during the pandemic. By the time next winter hits, we’ll be expressing the urge to get outside on the slopes. Both Miu Miu and Thom Browne staged their shows on mountaintops, with puffers and accessories to match, while Givenchy, Christian Dior, and Chanel offered shearlings and Fair Isle knits that would do well après-ski. Just add powder.
Flashbulbs
Bulbous, bubble-like shapes started trending early in the lockdowns. For fall 2021, the silhouette veered from soft Romeo Gigli–style cocoons to more pumped-up ovoid forms, with an emphasis on the hips and thighs. Both womanly and protective, these new orbs offer coziness and a little forgiveness from the skintight silhouettes seen elsewhere.
Low-Slung Jeans for High-Stress Times
Sweatpants are not forever. Slouchy, wide-leg jeans emerged as a key look for fall at Balenciaga, Y/Project, and the up-and-coming London label Jawara Alleyne. Consider these roomy and durable trousers the ideal get-it-done pants for our post-pandemic lives.
