Ditch the hobo already for a smart, boxy number that spells sophistication and edge. LABELS OF LOVE Marc Jacobs spring/ summer 2015 FASHION REGIME Top fashion icons are often known for a signature look that can be rocked 24/7. This season, Marc Jacobs takes the concept of a “style uniform” to the next level, showing scrubs-inspired dresses and military-style pieces, complete with utilitarian pockets, buttoned epaulettes and in every hue of army green. With so many riffs on the theme, settling on one uniform will perhaps require military discipline. A forerunner in introducing the top labels from around the world to local aesthetes since 1986, multi-label boutique Tyan has been the go-to for high-quality designer finds from the likes of Chalayan, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel and Jean Paul Gaultier. This season, be sure to check out Vivienne Tam’s modern take on Oriental influence. It’s chinoiserie motifs reinterpreted as prints on u urbane separates to sizzle. Dress,Vivienne Tam at Tyan 11 Dress,Vivienne Westwood at Tyan ART SCHOOL Dsquared² spring/ summer 2015 It is time to flaunt your creative side by throwing on accessories with a rainbow palette that seems borrowed from Matisse. Or dream up an outfit after an art genre—the Caten twins of Dsquared² took inspiration from artist Sonia Delaunay who founded the Orphism movement with her husband Robert, to create yards of colour-blocked fabrics, which they made into voluminous maxi skirts and poufy shorts.
