After Isabel Marants Fall 2018 runway show in Paris, Fashionistas own Maura posed the question, “Are we ready for some wild, wild West in our wardrobes? ” Turns out the answer is a resounding “yes. ”
Not only did Isabel Marant turn to the West for her next collection, but many other designers did, as well — a lot of em, actually.
In New York, Veronica Beard and Coach went heavy on a few cowboy-style characteristics, like shirts with stand-out yoke details and loads of swingy fringe. (Though, the latter was a functional detail in Native American garb, which helped buckskins repel rainwater and dry faster. )Calvin Kleins signature colorblocked button-downs are a subtle nod to the West, and Pyer Mosss memorable collection paid tribute tothe community of Black cowboys.
In London, more designers showed western wardrobe influences, such as Rejina Pyos animal-print neck scarves and David Komas fringe, rustic metal belts and cap-toed boots. In Milan and Paris the trend picked up plenty of steam, from DSquared2s rodeo-ready looks to Vanessa Sewards collection, which was fit for those who want to work on the ranch like a French Girl™. Louis Vuitton, the final show of Fashion Month, even got in on the trend, too, with a handful of models boasting bolo ties.
View the below to see which designers want you to saddle up and go West for next fall.
