2020’S KEY TRENDS WE MISSED OUT Style moments we lost out on due to Covid-19
The year 2020 has spelled havoc for luxury retail. Designers lost out on a season of fashion as there were no buyers, and with no commercial flights, some of the design houses had all the shipments sitting with them. Besides, there was no red carpet or street style, thanks to the pandemic. So, none of the runway trends could be played out. Hence, we got designers to share some of the crucial trends that never really got registered.
TIERED MAXI DRESSES “The new changed homebound lifestyle didn’t have any scope for the predicted trend of Victorian tiered ruffled maxi dresses in opulent fabrics like taffeta, and wallpaper print brocade and oversized sleeves, which were more apt for the red carpet,” says designer Shruti Sancheti.
PANTONE BLUE
”The classic blue, which is a colour of the evening sky, could barely make its presence felt. Since there were no parties or events, this beautiful hue hardly found its way in the wardrobes,” adds Sancheti.
BERMUDA SHORTS “It’s sad that pedal pusher pantsuits could not see the corporate work space and spring holidays, this year,” says designer Nikita Mhaisalkar.
FRINGE FIESTA
“A major trend of 2020 that missed the red carpets is the fringes,” adds Mhaisalkar.
BIKINI TOPS
“Our hearts melted the most while looking back at our beloved bikini tops from beach collections. Spacedyed fabrics made sense and topping them with shell-embroidery made it even better for ladies to pick it for their bachelorette, till Covid-19 knocked the door,” says designer Prreeti JN of Nirmooha.
