Is the silhouette transcending gender? [14-15 AW Trend 4]

May 4, 2014

What will next season's "a la mode" be? We look back at the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter Paris Collection and analyze the upcoming trends, taking into account historical context. This time, we look at the ever-expanding silhouette.

Since the time of Coco Chanel, women have been incorporating men's clothing into their wardrobes. This transition has led to keywords like unisex, androgynous, and genderless, revitalizing fashion. Diane Keaton's appearance in the film "Annie Hall" wearing baggy men's clothing was a refreshing surprise. The idea of simply wearing men's oversized clothing gave birth to oversized clothing.

When designers portray women, oversized and long-and-lean silhouettes have long been used to express different feminine personalities. A trend emerging for the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter season is the emergence of brands that combine both silhouettes. However, perhaps because couture houses are fundamentally committed to creating clothes that fit the wearer's size, they focus on silhouettes that hug the body. Oversized silhouettes have now become a staple for ready-to-wear fashion houses, and by mixing them with long and lean silhouettes, as they have done this season, they are expressing a transgender aesthetic.

  • Celine. Phoebe, who generally prefers relaxed silhouettes that gently wrap around the body, presented a fitted knit set and coat. The genderless atmosphere is still alive and well.
  • Dries Van Noten. The oversized silhouette with drop shoulders, which he arrived at in his search for a new femininity, coexists with a slender silhouette, highlighting Dries's sense of femininity.

  • Hermes. By exploring the silhouette through the quality of materials and craftsmanship, exquisite oversized coats are born, coats that can be worn as dresses. The perfection makes women look smart.

  • Yohji Yamamoto. The origin of Yohji's big silhouette is the balloon-like oversized coat that hides the body, negating femininity while still elevating feminine elegance.
  • Miu Miu. Borrowing his outdoor jacket creates a new silhouette with its volume. A vest with a focal point on the shoulders adds a touch of spice to your outfit.
  • Christophe Lemaire. Lemaire's collections, which he describes as organic and natural, naturally feature relaxed, oversized clothing. It can be said that the silhouette is inspired by his lifestyle.
  • Sacai. I want to wear this, I want to wear that. When a woman's mind goes wild, she ends up with a big silhouette. Sacai's clothes start by catering to the feelings of women, and ultimately they create a charming woman.
