Guest Blogger - Men's Fashion Week Trends 2018

By Nelson -
Home Becomes Her is pleased to welcome back guest blogger Amandine Dowle. Amandine is a talented French photographer working in the Italian fashion industry and is keen to share with us her unique point of view on fashion and interior design. Today she is sharing with us some of her own images from Men's Fashion Week.


Men�s Fashion Weeks are coming soon to present the latest trends for Spring/Summer 2018. From the 15th to the 29th of June, the catwalks will start in London, then in Florence with the PITTI UOMO, Milan and will end in Paris. What will be the trends for this years fashion weeks? And how will they compare with the design trends of 2017? Based on the Fall/Winter 2018 collection which ended last March in Paris we can already get an idea on what spring and summer will be about.

Pastel colors

Each season, we see new color palettes emerging. For example, last year was all about rich shades of chocolate and hazelnut, blue-based tones, very dark blacks and getting the overall colors strongly saturated. This year will be more romantic. Colors will be pastels such as light blue, soft green and yellow. These colors will be used to create a washed out look reminiscent of 90�s fashion. Pastel colors are also the focus of this years interior design trends. Seen for furniture and decoration, these sweet tones are adding a fresh air to basic neutral colors.

Return to an old classic - Stripes

Elegant simplicity will be the key of today�s stripe trend. The traditional fabrics will be reworked into black and white mixed to soft shades still using pastels colors such as light blue or soft pink. Beautiful stripes on floors, walls, furniture, and accessories adds extravagance to our interiors this year. Stylish and modern, they bring some real out of the box atmosphere.

Bigger is funnier

Starting last year, photographic prints have already covered many of the SS 2017 outfits. This year is going to be bigger. Over sized and abstracted pictures will be an important key of this years trend promoting pop and geometrical shapes.What I have actually noticed at the last design week in Milan is the presence of geometric 3D walls being very popular in both residential and commercials interiors. The shapes particularly give movement and vitality to a banal environment.

Don't fear the sheer - Sheer tending again in 2018

This striking piece of furniture is a "Rib Slipper Chair" by Shiner International. A dramatic piece for any modern styled home. I've paired with this statement black sheer and cut out style gown from the Valentino 2018 Spring collection. An elegant and striking look. Interior image via allmodern.com Fashion image via fuckyeahfashioncoture.tumbler.com Sheer fashion was everywhere in 2017 and with new looks continuing to hit the runways and mainstream fashion chains, signs indicate that its here to stay for 2018. The transparent dresses, skirts and tops are holding strong into the next season, so if you've already invested in this look that's great news, keep rocking those floaty pieces! I believe that a sheer fabric adds some formality, femininity and elegance to a look, and it can allow women to reveal just that little bit more without being garish and tacky. Sheer fashion can create a delightful tension between demure and sexy. The first thing that will

The Great Gatsby - 1920's style inspiration

Carey Mulligan who plays Daisy � the 'girl' in the epic love story The Great Gatsby.   Image courtesy of   wahingtonpost.com The recent release of The Great Gatsby movie has inspired a resurgence of 1920's fashion.  The movie is set to be released in New Zealand soon, and I cant wait!  The glamour and decadence of the art deco period is truly dazzling. Think fur, diamonds, pearls, champagne and everything glitzy and sparkly. It is such a gorgeous and glorious decade, I'm pleased that it has made a comeback in fashion. The "roaring" 20's were a period of social liberation and the fashion and style of the day reflect that excitement and optimism post World War 1. Its the decade that women became allowed to vote and of prohibition (in the USA) which arguably spawned a legendary surge of organized crime and a whole other movie genre. For fashion the flapper look is what immediately comes to mind; the headband, drop waist dresses, feathers, sequins and a health

Lululemon athletic wear and zen spaces

Pace Tights and B.F.T (Boyfriend Tee) top Image via Lululemon I�m a part-time Group Fitness Instructor teaching the Les Mills programs  BODYJAM � and   BODYSTEP �  so for a while now I've been thinking about doing a post on athletic sportswear.  But I didn't quite think of how to link it to interiors because decorating a home gym didn't really excite me. However I am passionate about spaces that enhance your well being, and just make you feel good, so I've focused on inspirational zen spaces to work out, do yoga, meditate, or just chill.  This post was always going to be bias, so I'll be upfront about that now. In my opinion there really is only one great athletic wear manufacturer to consider � Lululemon . Their clothing is beautiful, such high quality it lasts for ages and keeps its shape (they guarantee it for 5 years). Important when you use the gear week in and week out thrashing it with constant sweating and washing! In a world of increasingly cheap, poorly m
