2008 fashion trend

[yeson]

guys, whats gonna be the fashion trend for the year 2008:?: :confused:








post na! *okay*

[JENSIE_G]

I think trends are observed through seasons and not by the year.

Since spring is the upcoming season, then brights, florals and hot hues will be the trend of the moment.

[Kent_210]

Cardigans will be a hit this 2008!

OT: Hi Jensie :)

[quents]

grabe... we were just posting for 2007 trends last year. bilis ng panahon. :beam:

slim jeans kaya?

[JENSIE_G]

[requieM]

Lizard shoes ,The shoes were made in Italy and designed by Mauri (his signature marque is the alligator head).

[RöttenMind]

Here's my blog entry the other day..

______________________________________________________
Im just so lucky that I have my mom who knows how to make clothes, (and absolutely good at that!), that I need not worry about bumping into someone wearing the same clothes and style I am wearing.

I know I have a gift and eye in fashion! (well I would like to think that way..) Before the year ends, I was thinking which new styles would be in for this year. And my guesses are right! Hah! Don't you think I would make a great career for writing for a fashion mag..? or be a model..? Isn't it nice to be like the Olsen twins? or those fashion models? Whose style is always being monitored by those flashing cameras, and be everyone's fashion icon..? Hmm.. But that would take out my license of privacy and bad hair days. So I guess I shouldn't be having this conversation in my head. Maybe I would just pursue my career in accessory making..

Ok, for the record, I don't want to be tagged as fashionista (although my friends, esp College friends like to use such adjective in their testimonials in my friendster account). I would like to think I am more of stylish. I dont follow trends, and never wear trends all the same time! I just love mixing and matching! And I personally love to invest on classics, but I do keep a collection of nice accessories which I can use to update my wardrobe.

Here are the items and style I think would be in this year, or should I say I would want to add on my wardrobe:

* MULTIPLE PENDANT NECKLACE (CHOKER TYPE) Ditch the long necklaces! Or update them with multiple pendants. Classic, vintage look. Think of cameo, crucifix (if i can wear one!), precious stones, pearl, lockets hanging in your neck, with a plain top or dresses.

* PLAIDS or CHECKERED I love the cowboy look! and the plaid print tube dress.. that would be my mom's next assignment.

* MINI DRESSES Just shift dresses, and straight cut. Say bu-bye to baby dresses! I love the senepa type cloth. But we cant find one in Tutuban and Divisoria.

* RED DRESS So sexy and pair it up with black pumps. Reverse the Little Black Dress and Red Shoes combo. But now, I am convincing my mom to make me a plain dress in Royal Blue.

Well.. that's all I am thinking right now.. I guess I need to do closet cleaning to make room for my new stuff.
_________________________________________________________

For the dress, I would like the bloomer-type sleeves.. :)

[pettie02]

havaianas,doll shoes,crocs,
mawawala na yan sa uso..
dress from animal furs.
ay papasok sa uso,.

[camisaroja]

^


Patay tayo dyan sa mga autstic na PETA members.


Kung may snow lang dito sa PI araw araw naka fur ako ala Daddy Yankee :P

Di pa mawawala sa uso mga High class slippers. Dami paring bumibili. Pero ako, never ako bumili ng Havaianas. Waste of money.


Sasayang nalang ako ng pera sa t-shirts. :P




Sa hip-hop clothing parang mauuso ang plaid na button down shirts...ewan ko lang ha. for me it's baduy yung mga oversized na button-down shirts.

[JENSIE_G]

^ Ako, I swear I'm never buying another pair of Havaianas next time. Might try others naman for a change.

[camisaroja]

^

Try mo yung Sanuk. Yun ang uso/nauso ata.



Never ako and never will buy Havaianas. Over price kasi masyado eh. I can't stomach 1k+ for a pair of slippers. I can buy expensive t-shirts $150 up... but not for slippers.

[shrekidoodoo]

For Guys: Plaids. Flannel Shirts. Wayferers. Skinny shorts. Shorts shorts. canvass bags. Neon. Grandfather shirts. white (or any plain) canvass and slim slip-ons.

My basis: I just based this from my observation here in Australia.

[camisaroja]

^

Nauuso yung mga man purse. Yung parang leather na parang duffle bag.

[sellezee]

for girls for sure... skinny jeans + high heeled platform shoes... will deffo stay long in 2008....

[Fall Out Girl]

yellow's gonna be a hot color this year. i just went to armani exchange website and saw a lot of yellows on their new arrival stuff, and i just went to a bebe store and they have a new arrival section full of yellow.

[khrystianne]

well hopefully basic jeans and shirt (coz i dont have the budget for a new wardrobe) :D

[lakers rule]

last year was lumberjack

this year its navajo (native american indians)
pochahontas 2008

[bny888]

skinny jeans for guys, will they still be "in" for '08? ü

when i go to malls like trinoma, ang daming naka-skinnies saka 'yung chains na kinkabit sa sides ng jeans pinapauso uli. for me okay ang skinnies as long as carry, pero 'yung chains, nababaduyan ako, nauso na 'to dati.

I think it's still the metallics that will be in your bags and on your skin.

[mrkndrwmpl]

tote bags for men will be in this year

[camisaroja]

^


I think so too. Alling with the holdall leather bags. The type of men's bags you see in Fino.

[bny888]

i have two tote bags, hehe. and 3 clutches, 2 leather and one nylon.

[gen_07]

will patent leather shoes (pumps, open toe, etc) still be in this year?

[camisaroja]

i have two tote bags, hehe. and 3 clutches, 2 leather and one nylon.

Wow clutch bag. Pamasko ko ninong. *peace*


Joking. :D

[mysticpaladin]

I can't wait for skinny jeans on guys to die. And I hope it happens this year.
But considering how late adopters Philippine retailers are when it comes to global trends, I won't be surprised if skinny jeans would still be shoved up our throats.

[prettiest`thing]

blue will be the hottest color this year.

90's grunge look will be back -> plaid/ tartans, stoned washed jeans, Dr. Martens boots and american-indian accessories.

[cathybee]

I just love the plaid and cowboy look. It has always been there and I always am buying a piece of it each time even if not in season :)

Speaking of AX, the colors are always fab - the blue, the yellow, the red, and the violet. It's just pricey for the material used - if not, I would have jumped on it.

For the love of God, please kill the skinnies :lol:

[JENSIE_G]

^Wasn't it dead last year pa? :wondering:

[camisaroja]

^

Not really that knowledgeable in pants but what's a skinnie jeans?

Can anyone care to post a picture or give a bloody detailed description?

TIA

[JasonFilAm]

Sperry Top-Sider shoes.

For real.

[mybenj]

Top siders will be absolutely be back and "BOTTOM FOLD OUT FOR PANTS FOR VISIBLE ANKLES" for casual look. Pastel stripes and checkered ones for shorts.

[edna630]

Lizard shoes

[clawed_out]

and if you're boating.

i think it's still cold to wear it outside (for people outside of the country).

checkered shorts = patchwork shorts, madras plaid, grand daddy plaid patterned shorts.

(i'm not to aware of the pastel stripes but it looks too mellow.)

furs. :) ahh....

[salski_25]

[banoi]

Flannels have been a staple for FW season for the past few years.

I would say maybe an influx of waxed/coated denim should be in line for 08.

For the summer, expect to see a lot of chinos, maybe slim-cut ones. Agree also with the boat shoes, some people prefer Sperry's but personally I want to rock a pair of Hockneys by Visvim

[shellfish]

i never followed the skinny jeans trend. i feel it doesn't compliment most body types. bagay lang siya sa mga tulad ni giselle bundchen, super tangkad and super payat.

like the bohemian/gypsy look, im sure skinny jeans will die a natural death (and i hope soon).

[JasonFilAm]

Top siders will be absolutely be back and "BOTTOM FOLD OUT FOR PANTS FOR VISIBLE ANKLES" for casual look. Pastel stripes and checkered ones for shorts.

You know your fashion and how to rock it too!! I'm pickin up a pair of top siders this weekend by the way *okay*

[highwind]

sana maging uso ang super shorty shorts plus spagheti strap for the girls

[camisaroja]

Im not too keen on the folded pants look I think I won't be able to rock that look.


The v-neck sweater ( nerd look ) will be in this year.

[banoi]

^^Yes folded pants are nice! This look has been rocked by the Urahara crowd for a while. Here's a pic of one of the pillars of Jap streetwear, Hiroshi Fujiwara.

http://desgnr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/HF2.jpg

[camisaroja]

if your going for the folded pants look, what kind of socks should you be wearing? Or no socks at all?

[green_archer]

is the folded pants look nice?? hmmm.. based from the pics above, i dont think it is. well, as for me.

[camisaroja]

^

In some instances yes pero when your wearing a suit....


don't think so....

[shellfish]

folded pants? di ba nauso na yan noon? (goes to show how old i am :nerdgirl: )
i think okay lang ang folded pants/jeans, basta wag lang i-fold to the point na parang bitin na yung pants.

about the "nerd" look for men (v-neck sweater or cardigan over a collared shirt), parang na-u-uso na nga yata. di nga lang practical pag hot weather.

[daasnwer]

i think it's still the preppy euro fit look

[banoi]

if your going for the folded pants look, what kind of socks should you be wearing? Or no socks at all?

Depending on the type of cut of the shoes you're wearing I guess. I would say low cut ankle socks to no socks would be the best/safest.

[camisaroja]

I tried it with jeans, I can pull it off pero pag naka suit I very much doubt it.

[lakers rule]

i think folded pants are nice on dockers or khakis with sneaks are dope but with jeans i would have to say no. and yes boats shoes like sperrys are nice ive been posting it here since 05 with my twotone powder blue/navy sperrys.

Fashion forecast this year (from http://www.shopcrazy.com.ph/)...

Based on runway shows for Spring/Summer 2008, here’s a quick list of what’s to expect in the ever-changing world of fashion.

What’s hot:

1. Grecian. Wear anything drapey, in jersey, as a top or a dress, This look is great for day or night. Pair with strappy gladiator sandals, or high heels for evening.

2. Booties. Boots that are cut to the ankles– high-heeled or flats, lacedup or buckled, even the open-toed variety, some are mutated to look like strappy sandals that come up to the ankles. Basically, any shoe that buckles or zips up to the ankles.

3. Gladiator sandals–flats or the heeled variety, the more straps, the better.

4. Color! Color! Color! For this Spring/summer, colors are worn in the most unexpected combinations. Not just with accessories, but full ensembles and different prints. Some of the Hot colors for ‘08: Yellow, orange, purple, cobalt blue.

5. Hair accessory: headband look–wide or multiple skinny straps. You may style it with or without bangs. use plastic, elastic, fabric/scarf.


6. Maxi-dress for casual days or evening occasions. They tend to hide body flaws, while showing off the right curves. For formal parties, forego the satin gown and instead make a dramatic entrance with a flowy maxi-dress.

7. Wide-legged trousers

8. Waisted skirts. The 50s look was a popular trend in many of the shows. It’s not the the full circle skirt for boogie dancing, but still high-waisted that swing with movement, cinched with a belt.

9. Florals

10. Bangles/Cuffs — not piled-on as the previous year’s, but this time, a single big cuff or bangle will do. Embellished, carved, bejewelled, wired, etc– the wider the better.

11. Metallics continue to be hot for Spring/Summer 2008.12. See-through – tops, jackets, dresses, skirts, even pants! The trick is in layering.Other spring/summer staples will be in for sure: whites and shorts, for instance.

12. Color-block — this trend together with other graphic prints will continue to be popular.

13. Mini-dress — the 60’s cute minidress is still a hot item.

14. Skinny jeans –as long as models are seen wearing them backstage, they are here to stay.


TIRED TRENDS:

1. Leggings — finally, there's not a single pair of leggings in any of the major fashion designer shows. After 2 to 3 years in the limelight, it is finally time to give this garment a rest.

2. Grey – grey will never be really out, but since it was such a major trend last Fall ‘07, you may give it a rest for now, unless you pair it with something really bright or printed.

[mybenj]

those pics are hideous, bad! single fold only pls.

[sherleh]

^^ooohhh... maxi dress! yun ang bagay sa akin, na di naambunan ng kaseksihan. saw jennifer love hewitt wearing a maroon/red maxi dress sa episode ng ghost whisperer last night... =D

[pangsay]

^^Yes folded pants are nice! This look has been rocked by the Urahara crowd for a while. Here's a pic of one of the pillars of Jap streetwear, Hiroshi Fujiwara.

http://desgnr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/HF2.jpg
model ba ito? kawawa naman yung designer :naughty:

[banoi]

^nope, that's Hiroshi Fujiwara. One of the icons in the streetwear industry.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Fujiwara

"He is known as the godfather of Harajuku culture and is a globally influential streetwear designer."

anyway going back to trends, I feel that the striped shirts Comme Des Garcons/Visvim/HPP/etc have been doing might catch on.

[melvidu]

true! love the 90s look sana bumalik sa uso.... doc martens alike

[JustMarried]

i dislike following trends. Ano yun, you always have to wait for someone "COOL" to wear something and then bham! it's "IN". I guess having style is better.

trend vs. style: Paris Hilton vs. Cameron Diaz (or Jen Aniston)

It's ok to be trendy if you think the trend is stylish or at least, looks good on you. But if you're just gonna wear it because that's what everone's wearing.. hala naman.

[bny888]

hmmm can i pair my doc martens boots with skinny jeans? parang ala "my chemical romance"?

[daomisyel]

Fashion forecast: what's hot in 2008?

Everybody is focusing their attention on what will be the latest fashion updates for 2008, if you are really a fashion conscious then read this article as your reference. I've been reading and researching several articles online but it is really hard to determine what will be “in” this year 2008. Here are some of the fashion style and trends forecasts i gathered from different fashion gurus and experts as well as their observations:

I would feel uncomfortable in that.

[burntout]

For guys daw, very punk-inspired/skinhead style. Plaids, flannels, doc martens, suspenders. Medyo 90's grunge inspired din.

[Newbie_101]

yung mga vest's like a bartenders vest o yung parang pang FA would it be big this year?

im loving the visvim aesthetic .. thinking of picking up a hockney, or maybe a sausalito ... already have a pair of fbt sewards and logans

my friend in europe is saying streetwear is going back to looser pants, cuffed pinroll style matched with brogues .. i really think streetwear is what drives the fashion scene.. this is where the high end designers get their inspirations...

[de_veelish]

Dark color, plain looking jeans, long and folded (big) but not like the pictures above. I believe those pants folded to show ankles is a trend that hasn't or will not catch on. Btw, reminds me of the early 80's.

Yup, streetwear has always been about slight loose fitting gear, but the difference is that the streetwear group is older now, particularly in the Japanese market, skaters,djs and graf heads are heading into or are already in their 30s and looking for a more mature look, thus the emergence of SophNet/Uniform Experiment, Headporter+Plus and Visvim and why Dior(particularly Homme) and Comme Des Garcons have been quite a hit among the youth the past 2 years. And the rest of the world? 5 years late.

Okay, maybe not 5 years, but they are still ahead by at least 2 years, you can buy clothes but you cant buy style yeah? Plus what they do there don't catch on until much later on, even if you had the means to buy the gear. Like the whole clean/basic phase coupled with Vans phase that has swept the world, it has been done by the Japanese when the kids were hyping on all-over prints and dunk SBz.

Agreed, hi-top like Lanvin and Common Projects are hot items for men's shoes. Never got into em that thou.

i was actually talking about the exchange of ideas and styles ... but street wear is everywhere i dont think japanese streetwear is the ultimate authority on style and trend ... every culture and society has their own scene ... LA has the skate culture w/c japanese kids have co-opted, NYC have the graff, hiphop and punk collabo which again the japanese kids have taken as their own .. London kids have their own goth, neu rave look .. w/c is again being used by japanese kids .... if anything the japanese are known for their being open minded to try new looks which they find stylish ... more an adaptability factor more than anything .. im not trying to start an argument here, more of a discussion.. thanks

[banoi]

same here, my bad if I came across argumentative.

I think that what most japanese do is to add a different twist to whatever culture they adapt too and making it something their own and still paying homage to the original idea.

It's interesting how the 'scene' from these cities have a big influence on trends, however I've wondered why other cities like Manila or Singapore, don't have much impact on international trends, is it because the scene is still young/not developed enough? does it even exist? or is it the bigger cities are just more culturally diverse that they are able to develop their own culture?

[supercrapper]

i agree with the japanese flair in fact id take it a whole step further .. jeans for example, they take the original levi's looms, experiment on the best way to make denim and come up with arguably the best denim out there .. japanese premium denim like evisu, samurai, sugarcane etc are some of the best in the world and maybe even the most authentic ones out there ... japanese people tend to do a better version than the original ..

re the 'scene' i think manila and singapore street wear is still in its infancy .. i remember in college everybody wore the same polo shirts, rrl jeans, and polo big lugs .... something like herd mentality ... im not in the country right now so i cant say for certain how fashion and street wear has evolved.. but i think eventually manila will develop its own style

[giancinephile]

Sorry but those aren't even high waisted pants. It's just regular waist covered by an accessory.

My bad. I overlooked. These are cummerbunds. I kinda lost my files on the high waist thingy. Will post the images if I find them.

[camisaroja]

No to argue with anyone here. I just want to air out my opinion.

In manila if you dress just a tad different from what is the "norm" your not considered stylish. You'd be more considered crazy as if you insulted the one who saw you by "donnig" that look. From my observation the fashion norm here is what people see the local shows/celebs showcase.

A good example would be them BAPE hoodies. I once asked someone at school who was wearing one.

me: "San mo nalaman yung brand na BAPE? Hip-hop fan ka ba?"

random bloke: "hindi napanood ko sa PBB suot ng isang housemate tapos may nakita ako sa market market na may kaparehas ang design so I thought cool sya. And hindi Emo ang gusto kong music"

me: "ahh ganun ba. sensya na ha akala ko kasi hip-hop fan ka kasi BAPE kadalasan ay hip-hop na brand. Anyway nice chat I have to go now see you arround mate."

I wouldn't want to generalize but most of the time this is the case. Unless a hit show from ABS/GMA hire a "real" stylist who has a better sense of style or creativity, I don't see manila being a nice place to see good "streetwear".

[clawed_out]

Look at what the fashion week is displaying.

That's what will be in trend for the remainder of the year.

Shots of loud and bold colors, safari look, coats and layers.

Not wanting to be rude or anything. But why don't you start the trend? If it clicks many will surely follow.

neon top pairing it with black or ar least you have something neon.

floral mini dress for the coming spring/summer.

grey ensembles...

i think colored skinnies..

hhhmmm.. I dunno since here in manila it's soooo hot... I prefer wearing dress and skirts I only wear long pants sometimes. And yeah.. I noticed that if ur not wearing the "uniform" (pants and a plain top) people are gonna be looking at you like ur an alien or somethin.... I can't wear the clothes that I had when I was not here... :(

[khrystianne]

too true

ive noticed that too, i was vacationing in manila for a fews off january, i usually like to wear vivid colours, people will look at you if you wear something that stands out.

o well ganun lang siguro talaga

[supercrapper]

thats why i say manila isnt a fashion forward spot .. people who dare to be difft are made to feel like they have a 2nd head or something .. its a sheep mentality.. disturbing the status quo is a no no....

True dat. But there are a few who disregard the unwritten Shirt and Jeans rule.

Hey I like Uniqlo! Im planning to raid their store when I get to HK. I hope that Pea coat I wanted will still be there and hopefully be on sale. :p


Look 1 is hot! It's accountant meets plummer.

[clawed_out]

I did not go inside when I saw their stores. :)

I like the first set of pants with suspendeers. (top left) What I don't like is the cuffed style. It is too high and semi-stupid looking (to me). I also like the military shirt.

This would be a nice outfit for spring- the ever trusty white shirt, a gray blazer, white sneakers...

Smart casual is really more of my thing.

Due to the recent fashion weeks and the redundance of that peculiar hat... fashion brings back a popular culture icon as a some sort of a fashion icon, Charlie Chaplin.

I think the look is cool if done right. Very gentlemanly but I doubt wearing layers of vestments made out of wool, lined with a little silk, etc. would be a good thing to sport under the intense sun mixed with the humidity here in Manila...

Plaids are also irresistible as long as you don't make them look like your old school uniform when u wear 'em haha.

Almost all the labels did plaid for AW 2008 haha.

wala bang yun nasa mas murang place like topman or prp kasi sa Van Heusen it is an expensive store

[camisaroja]

Van Heusen isn't that expensive mate! mas mahal pa sa topman & prp believe you me!

Pag gusto mas makamura G2000 or Pierre Cardin.
