10 Fall Trends On The Rise

Jessica Lapidos — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:14:23 +0000

With New York Fashion Week over and done, we get to see what designers latched onto which wavelengths, sending down similar looks for us to love. Whether it’s an outlined slimming technique, laser technology treated leather, or the red wine that everyone in fashion’s been drinking, there are some trends that have permeated the runways. We’ve gathered 10 trends that have turned our heads from the indie runways up to the big guys’ catwalks. See what you may be wearing in 6 months time, or sooner.

See the future ahead.

Pulling some tricks from Stella McCartney this outlining trick slims and stuns all at once. it tricks the eye into giving the body perfect curves.

Color blocking has been vertically integrated. Split the scene two-faced for a cool contrast.

The hues run deep in Fall 2012, but none deeper than burgundy. Red wine flooded nearly every runway this week, and left us delightfully buzzed.

Perhaps inspired by the multitude of collar necklaces that have surfaced since Spring, collars are now stepping into the light, taking on their own colors separate from the rest of the garment. And it pops in a way that you won't have to lift it up.

Fanny who? These waist bags are all grown up, and some have even doubled. Hands and shoulders-free has become so chic.

The boob tube turned fuzzy as black and white meshed like a snowy television. The signal may not be coming in clear, but the trend certainly is.

Designers are pointing out your sexiest curves: hips, boobs, shoulders. On point.

Jackets hems hit the floor, billowing out behind as you take a step. The look is regal, the effect is long.

Because we live in the future (and Christopher Kane flourished with it last season), laser cut leather lace is cutting out everywhere.

Whether we're getting our athletics on, or yearning for old "glory days," this trickle up trends has saturated the runway and blown up street style. They. Were. Everywhere.

ThreeASFOUR Fall 2012 Comes Full Circle

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:07:24 +0000

ThreeASFOUR moves right around in a circular motion, looping from the printed wearability from Spring 2012 to the more experimental outer layers of Fall. The circular thematics broke garments into fragments to assemble spherically. Leather cut laser allowed for a precise interconnectedness, as the pattern looks particularly like a spine spinning in spirals, also partially like wheels turning in a machine. The machine of threeASFOUR – Gabi, Ange, and Adi – work insulated amongst themselves, not adhering to trend cycles, but to their own spherical vision. When Sean Ono Lennon releases the threeASFOUR documentary he is filming, perhaps we will learn more how these circular parts began to turn.

RUNWAY: Threeasfour Fall 2010 Womenswear

Kirby Marzec — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:09:01 +0000

Designer Gabi Asfour brought us a clever alchemy themed Fall 2010 Threeasfour collection, tapping into the seven metals of alchemy. Beyond the plethora of to-die-for metallics, Asfour’s designs defied logic. Stacked, twisted rope, leather cutouts, billowing sheers and tri-fabric tights were just some of the collection’s highlights.

“I truly believe that the world is going to undergo a huge transformation in the next 10 years. No one talks about this, but the masses now have huge access to culture that they never had before. And that access is the real wealth, in a way that money is not. In 10 years there won’t be an elite controlling access to culture, and then things are going to change incredibly fast.”

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Threeasfour S/S 2010

Kirby Marzec — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:38:03 +0000

A few weeks ago, Fashion Indie gave you a sneak-peek at the Threeasfour and Yoko Ono collaboration for the label’s Spring 2010 collection. That peek, however, did little to no justice for what the pieces actually looked like. Ono’s hand-drawn print silk dresses floated down the runway alongside several structural masterpieces, constructed in a 3-D sculptural manner. I can’t say that I was crazy about the models’ makeup, but the immaculate construction certainly picks up the slack!

FIRST LOOK: Yoko Ono for ThreeASFOUR Spring 2010

Kirby Marzec — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:35:18 +0000

Yoko Ono’s collaboration with ThreeASFOUR for their Spring 2010 collection marks a number of firsts: 1) Ono’s first ever fashion collaboration 2) the release of Ono’s rare dot drawings, as translated on cotton and silk prints 3) a preview of Ono’s newest album, “Between My Head And Sky.” With all these new and exciting things hitting the scene, it is needless to say that come ThreeASFOUR’s show at Milk Studios on September 17th, the intricate seams and legendary patterns are going to look just as good, if not better, than they do in these photos!

NY Fashion Week: Threeasfour

Kirby Marzec — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:00:35 +0000

Threeasfour took the liberty of playing with their already fresh and unique silhouettes for their Spring 2009 showing. Curvy seams, layers and hems were a trend to create a seemingly sea inspired look. With coral colors and shell-shaped necklines and drapes, Threeasfour made an innovative splash on the runway!

Thanks STYLE!

Threeasfour to Debut Swimwear Collection

Rebecca Alexander — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:30:06 +0000

Designers Gabi, Ange and Adi are building the eight-year-old label, and have created a capsule collection of swimwear to be unveiled during their spring 2009 runway show next month. The line will take its cues from Threeasfour’s signature elements, including asymmetrical lines and circular seaming.

While the three designers have previously dabbled in swim pieces for their shows, this will be the first time they plan to produce it for wholesale distribution. We will keep you posted on all that is Threeasfour, after all, they are one of my fave designers.

Thanks WWD

I’ll Kick Myself in the Ass Later, but Head to Gap Today

Saynt — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:23:57 +0000

The Gap’s new collection featuring 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, threeASFOUR, Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi jewelry has hit stores today. Above, chicks from NYLON rock the looks, further proving that NYLON’s staff lacks style (sorry lady but white rimmed glasses are SOOO Chloe Sevigny circa 2004 it hurts). I really, really want everything from the mens side of this collection since it’s the first time Gap is releasing mens goodies from Michael Bastian.

I will be at the Gap today, as should you, sad, yet uberly true.

Gap and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Do the Dirty, AGAIN

Saynt — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:39:28 +0000

Next week Gap in association with Diane Von Furstenburg’s pet project, the CFDA, releases their mucho anticipated Design Editions collection featuring the work of Philip Lim, Band of Outsiders, threeASFOUR, Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi. Unlike last years collection, which featured Doo.Ri, Rodarte and Thakoon, this collection will expand beyond womens white tees and feature menswear and jewelry. Holy shit, I might actually have to shop at the Gap.

You might want to get their early too, last years collections sold out mighty quick.

Runway: Threeasfour, Fall 08

Saynt — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:23:36 +0000

To be completely honest, this was an extremely refreshing show from a group of designers that have really surpassed my initial expectations with a collection that was a fresh, inspiring, wearable and a must have for any one looking for a little more glam for their everyday. Their hues we’re perfect for the New York woman looking for a bit of color to liven up her fall wardrobe. Why these designers didn’t win the recent CFDA award is still a mystery, but this collection definitely shows that even with out all the glamour they still have the glitz.

Threeasfour for Gap

Saynt — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:32:37 +0000

Rumored for some time now, and finally confirmed that indie darlings threeasfour will be doing a small capsule collection for Gap. Their first large collaboration, the collection is due in March and will uphold the unique style of the label. Around for some time now, designers Ange, Adi, and Gabi (CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalists), have the art of fashion down to a science. The collections usually contain beautifully done flowy pieces, with great detail, and unique ingenuity. The fashion world has been buzzing about this, and we are all looking forward to at least a sneak peak.
