It’s almost time to hang up our winter coats for another year in favour of spring florals (groundbreaking) and sandals. Navigating the world of seasonal trends is no easy feat though, that’s why we’ve looked to one of the best to help breakdown what’s in this year – and what’s out. Bridget Veals, David Jones General Manager, knows a trend when she sees it and knows exactly what’s going to be seen on the world’s fashion set later this year.
With brands like Ganni, Ulla Johnson, Nanushka and Bassike, Bridget can see it’s all about the relaxed, 70s feel. “Really thinking about lots of volume, and dresses that become a bit more mid-length – both in the sleeve and the actual length,” she says. “The 70s prints, colours and volume of the sleeves, and also the length of the dress, would sum up spring.”
On top of houndstooth prepare to get colourful, with Bridget claiming neon and visual trends are being seen in some of the leading designer collections. “I think that is going to be a very visual trend, so I think people will be in neons even if they just use it as highlights, or whether you’re head to toe.”
She adds, “Whether you go really really bright or more subdued into the kind of seventies florals and prints, it’s going to be, it’s almost an extreme. So if you like the brights, then you’re never going to be brighter.”
As for the accessories front, Bridget predicts its square-toe all the way. “Square toe footwear will be a new look that we’ll see on everybody.”
Luckily, staying trend has never been so easy. Iconic Australian brands such as Aje, Carla Zampatti, Bianca Spender, Camilla and Zimmermann are available in David Jones‘ brand new designer floor on Elizabeth Street, Sydney. The new space also has on display an expertly curated range of the world’s most desired womenswear labels including Roksanda, Johanna Ortiz, Ganni and Jacquemus.
