Nautical theme in dress

Is it possible to think of a more appropriate time than summer to wear a "sea" trend? Yes, the traditional summer trends such as floral print, white color, ethnic style, surpassing a nautical theme. But the sea is not in our usual understanding of her striped dress, gold buttons and sailor collars, and in the truest sense of the word - blue waves, fish scales, shells and corals. So look, admire, take note and forward-forward-forward to sunny days! Up to 105 days of summer left)))





First comes to mind is the spring-summer collection of Chanel with its amazing "sea" accessories. At the show the French fashion house models paced the catwalk with clutches in the form of sea shells, studded with pearls, with handbags, decorated with coral and place high heels this time was occupied with tiny heels that resemble seashells.





And how do you this ring as a sea urchin in its more secure version - without needles?



It should be especially noted and scenery - the podium was strewn with white sand, on which lay a giant starfish, corals and underwater boulders and Rachel Welch, who appeared on the show, singing, standing in a giant shell. Looking at all this beauty, there is no doubt that the creation of such a collection Karl Lagerfeld inspired depths of the sea.









Another designer who sought inspiration in the depths of the sea, became Sarah Burton and her collection for fashion house Alexander McQueen. Perhaps this is one of the biggest collections of the new season, because it is the first time I saw the fashion world! Texture of fabrics reminiscent of sea foam, skirts swayed as if floating jellyfish and again, corals, pearls and other marine treasures.







By the way, about the treasure - a collection of accessories Alexander McQueen is also devoted to the sea theme. At least take these wonderful clutches, latches which evoke thoughts of pirate treasure. Without pirates at sea anywhere!



But none of the collections did not make me wait for summer so eagerly, as a collection of Versace. Just look at these prints - is it possible to remain indifferent to these patterns? The color scheme - it is a separate issue. Pastel shades are simply created in order to wear them in the summer, because they are so luxurious look tanned skin!







This collection is ideal for summer vacation sea coast - Banda tops, short shorts, lightweight jackets and open evening dresses with embroidery. And if they are decorated with crystals in the form of stars, seahorses and shells - and then even more so.





And again, all the attention on accessories.







In general, accessories easiest (and less expensive) way to follow fashion trends. One only has to be diluted with a simple outfit largest ring in the shape of a shell or hang over the shoulder "sea" handbag - and the image is ready!









Succumbed to the "sea" trend and the head of the fashion house Givenchy (or rather he had it and create). Ricardo Tisci clothed his models in dresses and suits that resemble shiny fish scales, seasonings flounced dresses and amazing pendants in the shape of shark teeth.

With humor to create clothes for the marine theme designers have approached the London brand The Rodnik Band (these guys do everything always turns with humor). Their spring-summer collection is called «Save the seas» («Save the Sea"), and its presentation was held in the format of a kind of protest against the pollution of the underwater world. Models dressed as sharks and crabs, chanted slogans and held placards with slogans «Cod save the sea» («Cod Save the Sea" - a reference to «God save the queen» («God Save the Queen")) .















Generally, marine trend can be divided into three podtendentsii: prints or landscapes: iridescent sheen and flounces, ruffles, curls resembling sea waves.

Prints, and photo printing even more on clothing, leaves no doubt that the source of inspiration for the designer served underwater world and all that is connected with it.

Twinkling, large sequins, shimmering on the fabric is also quite obvious details along with a hint of nautical theme. They resemble fish scales, mermaid tails, pearl iridescence, reflections seaweed.

Speaking of mermaids. While most designers to create wearable masterpieces sea, designer Thom Browne, who gave the world men's skirts and trousers with three trousers, did not tormented and made a mermaid tail. Of course, in this creation is unlikely to look like, but you can sit nicely.

And finally wave. Ruffles and flounces, of course, are not the main item of clothing on the theme of the sea, but with the help of imagination can easily become them, especially if they are made in shades of blue.

Some designers used in conjunction with curls, waves gauze obviously imitated fishing gear. For example, Stella McCartney and Viktor & Rolf.
