This
season Zando.co.za invites you to celebrate your fashion individuality! Autumn
Winter 16’s (AW16) sheer fashion variation has a little something for everyone,
leaving nothing to be desired.
Taking
inspiration from global street style and the compelling runways of Paris,
London and New York, the Zando’s AW16 collection explores a fierce yet classic
approach to seasonal transition. With a strong emphasis on spiced hues and faux
fur with a seasonal velvet touch – textures run dense and layered. According to
Amanda Lepar (Senior Buyer, Zando Women’s Apparel) “There is strong international influence for AW16 with a number of
trends which one can easily relate to. From graphic black and white, sizzling
punk, folksy tribe, military and an eighties comeback, Free Fall’in on
Zando.co.za holds the key to style variety and perfect personality match.”
With
a strong emphasis on brand offering expansion, AW16 was built to not only
highlight a stark colourway, but looked to incorporate a rich mosaic of florals
and geometric pattern in order to amplify styling capability.
Zando’s
AW16 Collection falls into the following 3 prominent categories for both ladies
and gents according to Zeane Singer (Zando’s Fashion Editor):
Trends
for the ladies:
Borrowed
from the Boys
This
look is strongly inspired by international street culture. We like to think of
it as hipster meets fashionista with a tomboy finish. Create the look with
ripped boyfriend jeans, cleated side buckle boots, a soft white blouse topped
with a smokey eye and soft nude lip.
Dark
Romance
This
luxurious look speaks for itself, a chic silhouette with a sultry twist. Ideal
for career chasers with a full social calendar. Think lace detailed dress
finished with a black leather jacket, velvet tie up heels and a burgundy wrap
blouse. Add a vibrant masala lip for that added pop.
Folksy
Folksy
has a fierce 1970’s influence with a slightly softer tone for that ultimate
transitional changeover. This girl has a youthful spirit and playful bohemian
charm. Pair your curvy fit basic skinny with a suede waterfall jacket and
fringe bag. Warning! Don’t leave the house without your neckerchief or round
sunnies.
Trends
for the gents:
Formal
A
suave affair. This gentleman pairs perfectly fitted chinos with a buttonup and
pocket square.
Athleisure
The
definitive gym look with a futuristic flare, embrace it! The trend has evolved
past its original leggings-andtee combo to its current stage: stylish
sweatpants, on point sneaks and a high performance fit not meant only for the
gym.
Libertine
From
Brooklyn to Shoreditch, modern street culture reflects a nomadic representation
of the classic blazer, ripped jeans and warm brogues – top it off with a trilby
hat for that final grunge push.
