Where Are We Heading From Here?

Having always focused around the current trends, I began to think about what the latest trends will be for next year. According to Vogue July 2010, by fall our wardrobes should be filled with high-waisted trousers (not a world away from high-waisted shorts from summer) military (a trend I believe was recently popular with army boots, military style coats & jackets, khakis and browns) midi (just short of a maxi) & leopard print (currently in trend.) The changes from summer season to fall are only a stones throw away but when is fashion going to take a leap in another direction? Next Spring/Summer, I think the newest influence should be cyber & out of space. I'm thinking neon's & metallic, hot pants & mini skirts, over exaggerated shoulders & sleeves and flared trousers. The best example would be from the one & only Cyber Dog. Visiting a Cyber Dog store is an amazingly-out-of-this-world experience with UV lighting, crazy music & dark corners, the store is more like a club than a shop. With technology developing at unbelievable rates & everyone wishing they were miles away from reality in the recession, space seems like an appropriate new trend.


Take a look at some of Cyber Dog's latest pieces & what I think should have influence over next year's trends.






Perfect examples of exaggerated shoulders & skirts, neon & metallic colours, Gothic influence & flares. Maybe one day, this trend will a part of the fashion world.
