Like some of the other trends presented here, there’s serious utility in an all-leather kit: It’s a two-step outfit that looks sleek and a bit tougher than what we’re used to.
The glossy jackets and matching trousers we saw on guys at Rick Owens, Lemaire, and Alexander McQueen proved just as inspirational to women, who experimented with bolder colors and textures on the streets. Men’s and women’s trends continue to hew closer together, and one that’s already overlapped is head-to-toe leather.
The fall 2020 menswear shows feel like they ended months ago, but in reality it’s hardly been six weeks. Some women are embracing Hedi Slimane’s bourgeois elegance in head-to-toe Celine others are embracing the new era of “sexy” à la Gucci and Saint Laurent and some continue to ignore capital-F fashion entirely to evolve their own eclectic personal aesthetic. But as the years go on, the question of what “everyone” is wearing becomes harder to answer. Our survey of street style in the 2010s revealed how certain years were clearly defined by specific, identifiable trends and items, like 2013’s Balenciaga sweatshirts or 2015’s Vetements jeans. While it no longer feels modern for a designer to flit between arbitrary references from season to season, it’s inevitable that certain themes, items, and silhouettes will converge to form a season’s overarching message (or several messages, as we’ve noticed lately). So much has changed on both fronts-the clothes in the shows, the people in the front row, and what those people are wearing-but one thing that’s remained a constant is the notion of trends. It’s been nearly 100 years since fashion shows became the preeminent way to see designers’ new collections, and just 15 since we began digitally archiving what everyone wore to see them.
