Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Alexis Mabille Fall/Winter 2012 Collection Combines Present & Past

— January 24, 2012 — Luxury
Quilted leathers, black sheering, pleated, skirt-bottom shirts and tops with lace-covered cut-outs are just some of the key elements of the new, diverse Alexis Mabille Fall/Winter 2012 collection. What may be one of my favorite collections of the year, features modern looks combined with more romantic ones of the French Revolution to create a style that references the past while reflecting the future of fashion.

Slim-fitting trousers with thigh-high leather coverings are a prevailing piece in this beautifully crafted collection, while crushed velvet and satin suit separates give this striking fashion lineup even more texture and shine. So if you're looking for a look with a heavy military influence and want to stay away from the traditional band jackets and camo prints offered by other labels, then get yourself some pieces with some extravagant fair from the new Alexis Mabille Fall/Winter 2012 collection.
Trend Themes
1. Romantic Revival - Designing fashion collections that combine modern and romantic elements, hearkening back to a time in the past, while still reflecting the future of fashion.
2. Textured Separates - Creating suit separates from crushed velvet and satin that add texture and shine to a collection, offering a unique alternative to traditional materials.
3. Thigh-high Coverings - Using thigh-high leather coverings to dominate a fashion collection, bringing a retro military influence into the modern era with a unique twist on traditional band jackets and camo prints.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Incorporating historical elements into fashion collections in modern and unique ways, disrupting traditional approaches to design and changing the future of the industry.
2. Textile - Experimenting with different materials such as crushed velvet and satin to create unique and textured pieces that can be paired with traditional clothing in a versatile way.
3. Footwear - Creating thigh-high leather coverings for trousers that can be paired with various styles of boots, offering a new and innovative approach to traditional boot designs and appealing to a wide range of customers.
