showcase May 2016 20 www.womanthismonth.com STEPPING OUT Reworked details are seen on wedge sandals and heels while ‘70s-style daywear is updated with modern relevance using the allure of vintage accent detailing on mule loafers and buckle detail clogs. Go leisure retro with lace-up sneakers and smiley plimsolls. BAG LADY Mini backpacks feature small ruffle details, the ever-popular clutch takes on an Asian aesthetic with a knot detail and, for a child-like contrast, relive your golden years with video game-inspired cross-body bags and top handle box bags. EASY EXTRAS Take a trip down memory lane and find nostalgia merged with subculture street aesthetics in accessories from cat-eye glasses to funky-framed Wayfarer lookalikes to chunky bling and belts long-enough to allow the ‘80s-style wrap back. Spring 2016 takes on a bolder approach for the year as slightly mischievous elements are introduced while retaining a minimalistic identity. The idea of contemporary nostalgia is adapted to revive the mood of unforgotten eras that have strongly influenced fashion today.
