7 Spring 2019 Trends You'll See Everywhere Next Season
Fashion Month is finally over! Don’t get me wrong: I love going to countless shows, presentations, and appointments. Attending leisurely events to check out pretty things is part of being a Fashion Director. But the best part about it being over is having the time to chill and think about all the collections I've seen, especially dissecting every “lewk” with my Teen Vogue fashion crew. I’ll keep it real. For the past couple of seasons, NYFW has been asleep. But this time around there was energy because there was a sense of community — the feeling of belonging to a group is what saved the first leg of fashion month. All the younger designers that showed (Pyer Moss, Luar, Matthew Adams Dolan, and Telfar) brought their A-game. London was wacky as always. But having Riccardo Tisci create super wearable pieces for Burberry was a highlight. Milan gave us some palpable moments as always. Thank you, Prada and Versace. And Paris, well, we’ll always have Paris. Creativity is abundant there. I never have words for PFW, just a feeling of WOW, DAMN, AHHHHH. After sifting through it all, my team and I came up with a list of our favorite trends. Some are wearable and some are not. But whatever, it’s fashion!

"Denim is, without fail, a prevalent factor in collections season after season. It's the ultimate expression of the laid-back American lifestyle. This spring, designers showcased new and exciting ways to wear denim whether embellished, distressed, or dyed. From Matthew Adams Dolan showcasing a denim skirt suit, to Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler sending '90s-inspired acid wash looks down the runway, it is clear that the denim trend is here to stay but with a quirky twist." - Naomi Elizée, Fashion Market Assistant at Vogue

"Standout screen-printed looks reigned on the runway this fashion month. If you’re in the market for a trend that is self-referential, tongue-in-cheek, political, and playful all at once, then look no further. The styles ranged from Burberry’s cheeky “Why did they kill Bambi” t-shirt to a tender family portrait recreated on a glittering shift dress at Pyer Moss. For a more lighthearted turn, see Bella Hadid at Moschino model a squiggle-printed ensemble that could have popped right out of Jeremy Scott’s sketchbook." - Charlotte Diamond, Jewelry Market Assistant at Vogue

"There was an overarching theme this season of designers emulating a vacation vibe. Whether it be the physical beach in Chanel’s case or sandals that are reminiscent of hotel slippers at Marni. One interpretation I loved? Working swimwear into everyday apparel: over dresses, with jeans, under a blazer — you name it.They showed it all. I'm definitely looking forward to trying this one out for myself next Summer: it's so easy, fun and wearable." - Caroline Griswold, Market Manager and Denim Editor at Vogue

"For Spring 2019, the shorter the hemline, the better. The '90s trend that was once a staple on shows like 90210 has been spotted at Valentino, Prada, Miu Miu, Chanel and Celine shows this season. The babydoll dress look is more versatile than you think; Go casual with sneakers or dress up the look with high heels." -Marion B. Kelly II, Associate Fashion Editor at Allure

"Designers this season really want you to chill out and vibe like a Cali kid. The biggest shows of the season featured easy, wearable clothes in acid wash and tie dye. This trend is a collision of '90s and '80s styles that represents the relaxed attitude of the California coast. You don't have to wait to Spring/Summer to embrace this trend: try layering a tie dye tee with a flannel and oversized acid denim jacket to interpret the look for colder temps." - Jade Vallario, Accessories Associate at Vogue, Allure, and Teen Vogue

From Left to Right: Loewe, Marni, Prada
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Put your best foot — or toe — forward this spring in the season’s most liberating footwear trend: the gladiator sandal. Although designers have made several references to the Greco-Roman past, this season’s iteration can now be found in vivid, candy colors and interesting textures from Loewe’s bubblegum pink leather to Prada’s plum purple technical knit. Brace yourselves for battle — or summertime hustle — in this goddess-approved trend." - Davian Lee Rodriguez, Fashion Market Assistant at Teen Vogue and Allure

From Left to Right: Off-White, Etro, Marni
"The past few seasons, designers really focused on earrings, from the shoulder dusters to the mix-matched pairings and stacked ear cuffs. This season it was all about the necklace. Whether it be the crafted necklaces at Etro and Chloe, the chunky chain link necklaces at Marni and Off-White, or the dressed up embellished neck at Miu Miu and Area, they all seemed to make a major statement on the runway." -Grace Givens, Editor, Jewelry, Vogue
