Trend Report- Mercury Metallics

Another favoured trend glistened through the collections this season, metallics. Rich with the vibrancy of the rainbow, from the decadent golds to the sweet yet sour poisonous greens. The catwalk dripped with the body-sculpting, liquid consistency of the iridescent leathers.

One designer who went crazy for lamé was Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, using the most luxurious colours and mixing them with lighter tones to create a shade which dazzled under the light; from bold bronze to pernicious purple and luscious lilac, all adding a darker dangerous feeling to the spring/summer season.

Elbaz also started the trend for 'trash bags'. We saw him reinvent the somewhat boring, black bin bag into a sack of lustrous lamé and of course metallic marvel.
