Every year the same picture is repeated: the whole world watches with bated breath for fashion shows. What collections of evening dresses of the fall-winter and spring-summer season are the best this year? What will surprise designers and what novelties will they introduce?

Minimalism style
No matter how fashion trends change, the classic always remains. Even great designers with enviable regularity offer women and girls simple models in a minimalist style.



Such a proposal came from Carolina Herrera and Marchesa, Valentino and Ralph Lauren. All these models are characterized by the absence of any abundant decorative ornaments, vivid color schemes and complex details.



The classic is not only in cut, but also in the choice of color. Therefore, black and white are a priority, although a plain pastel gamut is great ..

The emphasis is more on the combination of black and white. The options are so varied that a dress to taste can be found for the most demanding girls.
Dresses in peas are returning to fashion, as an alternative - in a black flower. Striped outfits also remain trending.
In many collections there is a contrasting openwork applique, beadwork, prints. And, of course, the black bottom and white top does not reduce its position.








Baroque
Everything in the world is repeated, including in the fashion world. So there is nothing to be surprised when in the new collections we see echoes of other eras.
Such experiments very often end in success and even triumph, as proved by baroque models from Yudashkin and Reem Acra, Badgley Mischka and Oscar de la Renta, Alberta Ferretti and Louis. Thanks to their talent, fashion trends that were popular in the Renaissance received a new life.

Baroque style requires restraint in clothing.However, this does not prevent him from being recognizable due to the abundance of prints, embroidery with gold threads and the presence of various draperies. Often ribbons with ruffles or bows are combined in dresses.




It is impossible to create a baroque outfit and ignore materials such as brocade, silk, velvet, lace, satin or tapestry. Even their high price cannot become an obstacle. This style is characterized by the complete absence of restrictions on pomp and even some theatricality.

Fringe and Feathers
Since the Barroco style began consideration of luxurious and richly decorated dresses, then let her continue dresses with feathers and fringe. In the new season, the fashion for airiness has firmly strengthened precisely due to these materials.




This innovation complemented the collections presented by Marchesa, Rodarte and Carolina Herrera. By their airiness and festivity, such models “outdid” everything that the fashion world had known before.




Abundant decor
Nevertheless, designers do not abandon the abundant decor of evening attire. From beads, sequins, glass beads of monophonic or multi-colored, they create magnificent outfits.



Fashionable Ballroom
Nothing can stop young ladies from dreaming of a fabulous dress that would suit the prince himself to attend the ball.

Therefore, ball gowns are present in every collection, and their popularity is characterized by enviable constancy. And there are plenty of opportunities to feel like a princess and put on a ball gown: graduation school evening, student's ball, wedding.
Carolina Herrera, Zac Posen, Zuhair Murad and, of course, the unchanging favorite of women Oscar de la Renta, gave young ladies the opportunity to transform into a princess.






Fashionable "immodest"
No one and nothing can forbid a woman to be sexy. Frankness in outfits has long ceased to be a vice. So the designers are working hard in this direction, presenting bold models at each show.

It is up to you to decide how frank you can be. If for some people it is permissible to demonstrate almost bare breasts, for others it is permissible to use a high cut, bold cutouts or a bare top.



For every taste and with varying degrees of candor, you can find a dress if you pay attention to those models that were created by Donna Karan or Yudashkin, Mugler or Alberta Ferretti, Saint Laurent or Zac Posen.
The choice in the field of explicit dresses is huge and you will not be able to be inconspicuous in the evening.



Year
Do not lag behind all the above styles and dresses a year. Their popularity does not decrease and does not stand still - it is steadily increasing. Each fashion designer considers it his duty to create his own interpretation of the feminine mermaid dress.

So Zac Zac Posen, Badgley Mischka and Oscar de la Renta presented to the public several models that radically differed from each other. Solid models were demonstrated, in which even decoration was minimized.




But there were other models - fabulous, magical and richly decorated. On them you could find everything that only your soul wanted: flowers, feathers, embroidery, tulle, prints and an unexpected combination of fabrics.

More colors
It is no longer fashionable to take seasonality into account in their collections, and the fall-winter collection confirms this very well. There is even a feeling that designers are trying to make the weather a challenge through their clothes.

So many designers did, offering women, in spite of the bad weather, to put on bright and rich evening dresses. Elie Saab and Emilio Pucci, Zac Posen and Zuhair Murad, Versace and Badgley Mischka diluted achromatic yellow, turquoise, red, blue, pink and green colors.






Prints and applications
But bright and rich colors alone were not enough for designers, so they took prints connected to applications from summer collections. Bright outfits with patterns are observed in the brands Rosa Clara and Aire Barcelona.






Surprisingly relevant are floral ornaments and various patterns on warm evening dresses.

One has only to look at the collections from Zuhair Murad or outfits from Marchesa. Designers in their work also added a touch of brightness.



Badgley Mischka and Vivienne Westwood followed suit, embodying prints and embroideries with appliqués with floral elements in their collections.

But Valentino completely surrendered to geometry. All kinds of figures in black and white and in the most unusual colors flooded the surface of all models.
And even Dolce & Gabbana for the most part used not even flower prints, but fruit still lifes.




Moreover, some designers used children's drawings, as well as famous paintings as ideas for decorating dresses.




Truth in wine
To add nobility to the image, there is an effective way - to use a wine shade as the basis. This rule has no exceptions in the form of seasonality, age or occasion for which the outfit is selected.
This year, the shade of “Marsala” is becoming a priority, which symbolizes a certain type of Sicilian wine.

Hands in ... skirts
How could the world ever imagine an evening dress with pockets? But the designers showed that nothing is impossible, and stereotypes have no place in the fashion world. Therefore, that year in a row the catwalks are filled with elegant outfits with a pair of pockets.



The choice of fabric does not play any role here, since even light dresses of chiffon or lace can have such an interesting element.
I really like the color of Marsala. I'm glad that he is in fashion this year too. Pockets on the skirt - a cool trend for me) Pockets increase the hips, give them volume. I don’t really like fringe, but the feathers are very interesting)
Baroque is a rather heavy style. I like minimalism more.
