Pekan mode dunia menutup perjalannya di Kota Paris yang penuh cahaya.
Diawali di New York, lalu London, Milan dan Paris, masing-masing
desainer dari keempat kota besar itu melahirkan tren dengan karakter
berbeda. Misalnya Kota New York yang menawarkan busana kasual, kemudian
London mengulang sejarah ke era Victoria, Milan dengan garis sensual dan
terakhir adalah Paris yang klasik dan feminin. Sebagai referensi untuk
tampil mengikuti tren di 2016 mendatang, berikut adalah prediksi tren
dunia dari runway Spring/Summer 2016.
1. Sheer Delicate
Hangatnya musim semi kini tak lagi dirayakan dengan motif bunga-bunga,
melainkan lewat dress yang mengekspos tubuh dari bahan menerawang. Entah
itu terbuat dari bahan sifon yang ringan, tulle, PVC, jaring atau lace,
puluhan desainer dari pekan mode dunia, seperti Etro, Gucci, Roberto
Cavalli, Balenciaga, Vionett, Balmain, Chloe, Miu Miu, Sibling,
Galliano, Stella McCartney, Saint Laurent, Valentino hingga Alexander
McQueen menawarkannya di koleksi baru mereka.
2. Feminine in Pink
Mulai dari fuschia hingga pink pucat, para desainer seperti Jason Wu,
Dior, Tome, Isa Arfen, Simone Rocha, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Elie Saab
juga Roberto Cavalli, menyelami sisi feminin wanita lewat busana
bernuansa pink yang mendominasi koleksi. Tak hanya bermain dalam warna,
mereka juga menawarkan aplikasi ruffle pada rok hingga dress yang
membuat para wanita merasa cantik.
3. Cold Shoulder
Tak perlu menunggu hingga musim semi tahun depan untuk melihat tren ini
beredar di jalanan. Yang pasti, tren busana dengan bagian bahu terbuka
masih akan mendominasi penampilan para fashionista sepanjang tahun. Para
desainer juga memiliki cara berbeda untuk membuka bagian pundak,
misalnya memakai detail cutout seperti dalam koleksi Rachel Zoe, Derek
Lam dan Wes Gordon. Ada pula yang menawarkan potongan off-the-shoulder
seperti koleks Peter Pilotto, Natasha Zinko, Temperley London, dan
Barbara Casasola. Terakhir dengan gaya one shoulder dalam potongan
asimetris di koleksi Chloe, Elie Saab, John Galliano, Isabel Marant,
Stella McCartney hingga Alexander McQueen.
4. Flag Time
Klasik dan patriotik, kombinasi warna antara merah, putih dan biru
menjadi perpaduan menarik dari kreasi desainer seperti Giorgio Armani
dengan gaya nautical, Marc Jacobs dan kilau sequin, Victoria Beckham
bermain dengan tabrak motif, serta Chanel yang menawarkan tema bandara
untuk runway tahun ini.
5. Old English Sleeves
Desainer kembali membuat fashionista mencintai sejarah dengan kembali ke
era Victoria; masa ketika busana bervolume jadi tren dunia. Namun
tentunya, koleksi Victoria masa kini dibuat lebih sederhana dan
menghadirkan ciri khasnya lewat bagian lengan yang dibuat mengembang. Di
runway, padanan ini terlihat dalam koleksi J.W. Anderson, Erdem dan
juga Simone Rocha.
6. 70's Vibe
Sementara era '70-an terus menguat di tahun ini, musim semi 2016 masih
belum menunjukkan tren retro akan hilang. Mulai dari busana dengan print
bunga atau geometris yang tampak penuh, dress sifon bergaya klasik,
bahan-bahan suede, dan celana flare mendominasi tren di runway. Beberapa
desainer yang menghadirkan kembali nuansa '70-an adalah Alice+Olivia,
Coach, Rodarte, Derek Lam, Tibi, hingga Chanel.
7. Robe Life
Siapa sangka jubah mandi yang biasa dihadirkan di kamar hotel akan
menjadi tren fashion dunia. Namun tentu saja inspirasi itu dibuat lebih
ringan dan versatile untuk segala kesempatan. Desainer yang ikut
berkreasi dengan merilis koleksi jubah panjang dengan tali ini adalah
Givenchy, Thakoon serta Public School.

Why Are All the Fashion Girls Going Fly-Fishing?
![]() |
| Photographed by Arthur Elgort, Vogue, October, 1995 |
Maybe it’s the wilderness-deprived suburbanite in me, but I’ve always loved the utilitarian attire that accompanies large swathes of time spent with Mother Nature—probably because I never had any. My obsession took flight last year, while on vacation in Michigan, where, on a whim, I bought my first hunting jacket. Insulated with plush padding and patterned with camouflage intended for the tall grasses of that northern state, I was sold on the topper and wore it all throughout the winter. Since then, I’ve spent hours trawling sites like Cabela’s or Gander Mountain in order to ogle the wilderness gear while I consider whether or not any part of my future wardrobe will include camo-print gaiters or blazing orange vests. In my mind, there’s nothing better than knowing that the garb you are buying is made to last in the great outdoors—even if the extent of my exposure to the “great outdoors” is typically the five minutes it takes me to get from my apartment to the subway.
Thankfully, I wasn’t stuck behind a computer screen staring at gruff men in twig-print trousers forever. My chance to put my outdoorsy duds to the test came when I was invited by Barbour, that purveyor of preppy classics and upmarket shooting and fishing gear, to take the plunge and head upstate for a day of fly-fishing. Fresh air, a large lake, no cell phone service, and the chance to prove my woodsy bona fides? Sold. And then the day arrived and I realized that I was completely unprepared: It was a downpour on the streets of my concrete jungle abode, and like the metropolitan doofus I am, I lost my windbreaker on the subway the night before. My one woods-ready item, my Timberland boots, were patiently waiting under my desk at the office—where I was not. I didn’t even have an umbrella. I scurried out of my apartment in a thin leather jacket and traction-less sneakers, feeling every inch the clueless city dweller.
With my off-duty look containing not a shred of anything woodland-centric, I was a bit nervous and a little mortified. After all, I had been dreaming and virtually preparing for my actual foray into the sticks for a while now, imagining myself decked out in thigh-high rubber boots and a high-tech fishing rod, exiting a marshy lake with a bevy of bass slung over my shoulder. Was all of that time screenshotting pictures of plump, ruddy-faced mustachioed men in floppy hats and pocket-covered vests, cradling fish with mouths agape for naught? Not quite. Upon our arrival, I learned we weren’t going to enter the lake to fish, which would typically require a pair of waders—wide rubber overalls with boots attached that keep your lower hemisphere dry while you walk around in the water. Instead we would practice our casting from the shore—which, for the record, is much harder than it looks. As for the accompanying gear? Sans waders, I wore only a waterproof jacket and a hat. And technically, when it comes to fishing attire, that’s all you really need. “You need protection from the weather, like rain gear,” says Bob Meyen, the head fly-fishing instructor of Orvis Sandanona. “Plus, a hat to protect against any hooks.” Meyen also recommends glasses for eye protection, as well as a vest to carry your supplies. Essentially, I was the definition of a pared-back piscator who was a little heavy on the wrist flicks. And you know what? It wasn’t all that bad.
Still, at the end of the day, I understood a minimalist take on fisherman style wasn’t going to land me a cover with Bassmaster anytime soon—but neither were my skills. Plus, though I deeply felt the desire to slip into a pair of waders, the backwoods take on PVC felt like more of a reach for my own street style anyways. But I had to confess, I did like the overall idea of the fisherman look. And I’m not alone: For Spring 2012, Junya Watanabe gave his menswear collection the retro angler treatment with classic mahogany wellies and waxed tech jackets in tan and orange and red pleather, while more recently for Spring 2016, Kenzo had gladiator-style waders adorned with cutouts.
Even now, the trawler look with backwoods appeal has some stylish resonance. “Thanks to both Gypsy Sport and Alexander Wang’s Spring 2016 collections, fisherman accessories like the bucket hat have never felt cooler,” says Vogue.com Market Editor Kelly Connor. “But if you want to go full-on for a great—but not over-the-top—fisherman look, you can pair your raincoat with some workwear-style overalls.” As for me? I’ll be wearing the classic look all season long—hook, line, and sinker.

Sneakerheads, Take Note! Hender Scheme Is Japan’s Coolest Export
Looking for one of Japan’s most innovative design exports? Proceed past the hustle of Tokyo’s Shibuya Fashion Week
headquarters and head straight for Asakusa, where Ryo Kashiwazaki and
his brand, Hender Scheme, have been quietly changing the footwear game
since the label’s launch in 2010. A purveyor of handcrafted,
one-of-a-kind all-leather sneakers, Kashiwazaki has tapped into the
current obsession with luxury alternatives to wardrobe staples. The
shoes are inspired by classic styles—the Air Jordan, the Stan Smith, and
Clarks’s Wallabee boots, to name a few—but rendered in pigskin, goat,
and suede, and assembled entirely by hand. According to Kashiwazaki, the
stylistic similarities to the factory-made models are all intentional;
his shoes are meant to draw comparison between the fast-fashion
favorites and his high-end homage. “When it comes to hand- versus
factory-made, each has its positives and negatives,” says Kashiwazaki
with trademark diplomacy. “Factory-made shoes are cheaper and can be of
good quality, but handmade items offer something special and personal.
This is why we make sneakers—so people can choose and have a greater
range of options.”
And it’s hard not to be impressed by the options on display at Hender Scheme’s studio: Each pair is a labor of love, with the skins treated by hand for up to eight months before they are painstakingly assembled for an additional three. They are built to last, developing a lustrous patina with weather and age that has been embraced and fetishized by sneakerheads who value the label’s individualism and exclusivity. (Plus, one imagines, a well-weathered pair signifies that you’ve been a fan since before they hit the big time—not so easy to convey with your beaten-up Nikes.) Spotted on the heels of high-profile footwear fetishists like Diddy and Justin Bieber, Hender Scheme has quickly become a favorite among the celebrity set, something that the modest Kashiwazaki is unfazed by. “I don’t feel any big difference between celebrities wearing the shoes and my friends wearing the shoes—I think both are equally good.”
Though he admits that he has always been intrigued by leather, Kashiwazaki came to footwear design in a somewhat roundabout fashion. After studying psychology in university—“Hender Scheme” is a nod to Sandra Bem’s gender schema theory, which explores how individuals become gendered in society (a neat trick for an item as unisex as the sneaker)—he developed an interest in accessories, due in no small part to a fortuitously placed shoe store near his girlfriend’s apartment. He trained in factories for the next two years, developing an affinity for the work created by the artisans he observed, many of whom he later enlisted for his own line. “There are artisans who have this incredible knowledge, but now as they’re getting older it is harder to find those to train for the future,” says Kashiwazaki. With young people’s interests typically lying more in the technological realm rather than handiwork— and in the five to 10 years of apprenticeship required for training new hires—Kashiwazaki hopes that Hender Scheme’s success will, essentially, make craftsmanship cool again, and go on to help preserve that rich history.
Recruitment headaches aside, Kashiwazaki has recently expanded his vision beyond footwear, moving into minimalist handbags, logo-free baseball caps, and a variety of home goods, including furniture. The collections are united by their adherence to his less-is-more aesthetic and the way in which they push the boundaries of what leather can do, with everything from clocks to coasters delivered in colorful hide. Still, shoes remain at the forefront of his Spring/Summer 2016 collection. “This season is called Post-Modern—we wanted to try new and contemporary styles and merge those with the traditional techniques,” says Kashiwazaki, who aimed to intermingle what it meant to be a “cool” or a “classic” style. “For the styles that are considered ‘street,’ we incorporate classic elements, and then we try to add a bit of street to the more classic shoes like the loafer or sandal,” he says, and standouts like his updated take on creepers and shark-soled Chelsea boots seem certain to introduce Hender Scheme to an even wider audience, something that Kashiwazaki wouldn’t mind—as long as it doesn’t interfere with the process, of course.
