Fringes or tailcoats? Pastels or clash? Bum bags or no bag at all? It’s time to find out how much you know about 2018’s big fashion trends A: Don’t be so disgusting! B: When your irritating friend won’t stop bleating on. C: Are you kidding me? It was the hashtag for New York designer Alexander Wang’s open-air sidewalk fashion show, where he revealed the clashing look that is such a hot trend for spring 2018! 2Crystal earrings make you look … A: Like a provincial department store’s lighting department. B: Pah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! C: So cool it hurts, baby! Bling. It. On. 3When is it acceptable to wear a big-skirted dress over trousers? A: When you are three years old, going on a playdate and your mum has decided to pick her battles. B: When it’s the morning after the office party and it was still dark, OK? C: When you are on the Miu Miu catwalk and you are setting it ON FIRE, because Miuccia Prada has started a trend that will be universally imitated. 4See-through plastic accessories are … A: Environmentally unsound and not to be encouraged. B: Not my bag, ta. C: My bag, my boots, my everything for the new season ahead. I mean, did you SEE Kaia at the Chanel show? 5What will be the reason you buy your next pair of trainers? A: I’m running a marathon. B: I told my friends we would run a marathon and I’ve not come up with an excuse yet. C: Because Nicolas Ghesquiere put them with EVERYTHING at the Louis Vuitton show, and I just need a £13,000 embellished 18th-century style tailcoat to go with them and the look will be complete #vuittongoals. 6A bum bag is … A: Where I will be putting the local currency on my next trip to Patagonia. B: Go away. C: The only thing to carry next season! Henry Holland, Fenty x Puma, Saint Laurent and Marc Jacobs can’t all be wrong. Right? RIGHT?! 7Generally speaking, how do you feel about Elton John’s tour tracksuits circa 1975? A: They’re hilarious. Didn’t people wear funny things back then? B: Literally, zero feelings. C: I adore them. I think Gucci designer Alessandro Michele’s comment that we should “resist the illusion of something new at any cost”, while simultaneously reviving the once derided shellsuit for today’s dresser was profoundly moving. And, yay, new season, new clothes! Let’s shop, people! 8What is your colour palette of choice for the year ahead? A: My what? B: “I’ll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour.” Wednesday Addams, 1991. C: OK, while I know that Pantone has nominated ultra violet as the colour of the year 2018 so, like, NOTED (love you, Pantone guys!!), I’m personally going to be moodboarding a lot of head-to-toe pastels like those seen at Victoria Beckham, Sies Marjan, Versace and Tom Ford. SO MUCH FUN! 9Where do you stand on fringes? A: Usually at the back because sometimes those meetings can be a tad dull, I’m afraid to say! B: I grow mine long so no one can see the tears. C: Shoulder-to-shoulder with Phoebe Philo of Celine. Fringes are the go-to embellishment trend of the season ahead. I simply won’t be seen without them. 10How will you be wearing your denim in 2018? A: Same old skinnies. They’ll never go out of fashion. What? B: Probably on my legs. C: While I loved the straight-legged, cropped styles of the last few seasons, I’ll be moving on into dark and tailored styles. The zeitgeist waits for no one, people!
