The fashion weeks brought us many trends and styles that will be seen in the 2015. As the shows end, they leave us with their interpretations of trends.

One such trend that was seen in abundance was the extensive use of the pockets. Emerging from trousers, this year saw pockets being placed in every form of garment, from dresses to skirts to any casual garment for women.

In historic times, pockets were tied around the waist, with a string, like a pouch to hold small items like snuff boxes and perfume vials in it. Pockets have now evolved from being an attachment outside the garment, to being sewn inside the garment for convenience. Patch pocket and concealed pockets are the two most common form of pockets seen on the women’s garments. Clothes are normally differentiated according to the pockets it holds. One such example is of multi pocket Cargo pants, which is distinguished by its bagginess and the 6-7 pockets it holds depending on the styling of the garment.

Pockets become handy to the working women of today to keep their personal belongings. Now it’s not only required in their formal wear but also for their casuals. Pockets are being presented in skirts, evening gowns, casual dresses etc. to keep their hands free. Pockets are the trend that defines the working women of today, who likes to be feminine but still wants to maintain their professional image at all hours of the day.

Though pockets are of functional use and essential for today’s women, at certain times it is not completely required. This trend should see increasing traction in coming years, inspiring designers with its simplicity and presenting feminism to the working women who are always on the go.

Milan Fashion Week concentrated on a lot of silhouettes, but pleats were used by every designer in various forms. While some designers used light creases for pleats like Bottega Veneta, while Ferragamo brought grace through perfect alignment.

Paris Fashion Week showcased the other side of silhouettes; gathers. Givenchy and Nina Ricci among others united their personal inspirations and presented delicate and subtle styles in their collections.

Brocaded Denim

Milan brought forward the fabric of the kings and presented the richness of the colors, with their own creativity. Roberto Cavalli’s idea of the rich-poor combination was clearly seen in his collection with Prada creating striped brocade providing an edge to the fabric.

Paris Fashion Week concentrated on the denim fabric and was seen in every collection with different interpretations. While Chloe stuck to more modest designs, Yohji Yamamoto presented his creation that symbolizes the women of today; the perfect combination of feminist and freedom.

In Milan Fashion Week, track suits became a part of the collection in textures and fabrics that made exercising look appealing. Fendi concentrated on comfort and textures that would work brilliantly for a casual occasion. Moschino which is known for its womanizing way conveyed the barbie doll woman image.

Paris Fashion Week, decided to follow the pant suits style forecast and came up with designs like Elie Saab’s lace pant suit that convey feminine elegance and beauty that is beyond comparison. Christian Dior on the other side presented the serenity and the gentleness that describes the heart of the woman.

As the Milan and Parish Fashion Weeks end the collections of Spring Summer 2015, we get an insight to the designers minds and how they translate their ideas into something that creates worldwide following.
