Runway Report: Baroque

As we all know, fashion designers tend to take inspiration from a number of different sources to make their collections stand out and tell their story. These inspirations can range anywhere from a memory, to a specific place in the world. This weeks trend has designers pulling inspiration from old Italian Architecture and paintings, which is called Baroque. Designers such as Balmain, Lanvin, and Versace have consistently shown a favouritism to this trend in the past, but this season several other designers have also shown their appreciation for it. This trend easily represents opulence, wealth, and a sense of royalty. The detailing is very intricate and and very unique in comparison to many other trends. Baroque pieces can range from a full dress, to a simple ring. But whether you decide to go all out with Baroque or more simplistic, you’re definitely going to still have a stand out piece that will be a head turner. Check out how designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Balmain, Jason Wu and others used Baroque in their collections.
