MAJOR STYLE
Attention! Forward march into this season’s new military
trend for an instant injection of style
hen you think utility, high
fashion doesn’t usually
W spring to mind. Instead
you think useful, helpful,
effective and efficient…
Gone is the former All Saints uniform
of baggy combats and an oversized
army surplus parka. In their place are
button-down shirt dresses, front-pleated
trousers, chinos and crisp cotton shirts
with epaulettes.
Maxmara’s fluid silk pants with
combat-style pockets are pure luxury,
parka coats are tailored by Marc Jacobs
and Aquascutum has combined sturdy
khaki jackets with long flowing dresses.
Meanwhile at Chloé, trousers were
tapered and flat fronted, mixed with
starched shirts and satchels worn
across the body.
Stylist’s favourite look was at Balmain:
super-sexy, rock-chick, bullet-hole ridden
T-shirts, sequin camo-print tops and liquid
metal fringing on the shoulders of military
tail coats and jackets. Truly cool.
