Cinema, Literature And Arts Influence In Fashion Autumn/Winter 2014-2015

//Cinema, Literature And Arts Influence In Fashion Autumn/Winter 2014-2015

The mood for the autumn/winter trends is always more down to earth than in the spring/summer season. Since the colors used in the collections are mainly more primary then adding embellishments and prints becomes essential!

Everything comes from something that already exists! The same rule strongly works in the world of fashion. Not only I am referring here to the relationship between the runway and the high street fashion, but also to the references from where designers get influenced by art, literature and cinema! Often these areas are leading the seasonal trends! Fall 2014 though, brings on the catwalks prints, patterns and embellishments that have been taken directly from there!

As expressive as is the work from different art movements, film history and even illustrated literature, designers stunned the audience with their creativity and are being admired by their haute couture handicrafts. This upcoming season the influence was more direct and therefore bold and comprehensive!

Here is Estilo-Tendances guide on how to get influenced by film, literature and arts in fashion in Autumn/Winter 2014-2015!

Autumn/Winter 2014-2015 is asking everyone in the fashion industry to choose between beautiful, ladylike, embellished and chic or geeky, quirky, modest and plain pieces!

There is no season, no collection that is not somewhat influenced from fine arts! As 1960’s and 1970’s trends are always coming back to the runways, then this fall, designers are directly using graphics and elements such as brushstrokes and cutouts as decorative elements and patterns for their collections! It is a creative and fun way to add some color to AW trends!

About the Author:

A fashion photographer from Estonia who is taking BA degree studies in Southampton Solent University, United Kingdom. Currently based in Lisbon, Portugal. Fashion and photography have always been a great passion of mine, which is why, after a short period of art and photography studies in Odder, Denmark, I decided to commit myself to a BA degree in fashion photography to grow as an artist, improve the technical skills and deeply understand the behind the scene of fashion industry. Curious and adventurous personality allows me to explore fashion photography from different angles. I enjoy working in the studio and outdoors, creating a different narrative and look each time. Until now, I also styled and directed on hair and make-up on the shoots. The outcome is always edited and retouched by me. I am also interested in graphic design and take a great pleasure combining these two fields that are so strongly connected.
