Asia Fantasia

One of the hottest inspirations for the Spring Summer 2013 catwalk was Asian detailing, from kimono-shaped pieces to Oriental prints. The kimono-as seen on the catwalks of John Galliano and Lanvin- emphasises the natural female form, adding a cap-sleeve structure to the shoulders which narrows the waist whilst a heavy waist-tie emphasises it even further. This season is all about mixing prints, so if you're fashion forward, feel free to team your pretty oriental detailing with bolder plaids, as seen at Dries Van Noten or for a more subdued look, just a splash of Asian detailing will bring muted tones into Spring.
