FADED SPLENDOUR – Styling
Feminine elegance and a sense of nostalgia colour the styling for the Faded Splendour trend, a look far removed from the hard-edged retro looks currently being seen on the market. Here, the silhouette is languid, worn with the effortless appeal of a more romantic era. Fur is integral to the look, worn with insouciant ease for looks where night merges with day and there are no rules, just a sense of quintessential beauty and a time gone by.
FIG 1| A gentle cocooning full fur jacket takes on a fluid draped appeal, maybe lined with delicate ruffled sheers for a sense of faded splendour and a romantic boudoir-like look.
Fig 2| Here, the look is more dramatic and we see the darker side of the trend’s heroine in a sinuous ankle sweeping coat with a contrasting long-haired collar, adding face-framing definition and a subtle sense of gothic romance.
