English Version | In Vogue Trends: The Body Issue

The fashion trends from The Body Issue, published March 2022.

60’s mood

The flamboyance of colors and textiles from the 80s joined forces with the innocent silhouettes from the 60s and the result are looks that no one can walk past without looking (at least) twice. Short dresses, micro miniskirts are worn as micro tops (or is it bikini tops?), XXS little jackets. Watch out voyeurs: don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The goddesses

Straight from the canvas of Sandro Boticelli, Blake Richmond, and Jacques Louis David, these goddesses, as powerful as they are stunning, came down straight from the Loewe, Rick Owens, and Louis Vuitton’s catwalks, causing a stir with their uncomparable beauty - a sensuality revealed by its flowing, sumptuous dresses, and veils. If you don’t believe in mythology get ready to change your mind, because this Spring, the Aphrodites are going to walk over the mortal world.

Rear Window

Suspense and mystery, tenderness and darkness, purity and eroticism: opposites attract, e and it’s with that thought in mind that the most unexpected propositions of Spring arrive. Alfred Hitchcock gave this fairy tale its motto, which could also be a film noir, where the protagonists are not only powerful, sexy, and unforgettable, They also have a wardrobe that matches their charisma and the glamour they often try to conceal.

Back to the future

The one decade we wanted to erase (forget, bury) from Fashion history is back. The dreadful early aughts are now the last cookie in the jar - propelled by the revival of cargo pants, low rise jeans, short tops, and nonsensical necklines - and are striking strongly, for the bewilderment of those who lived through it. If we can’t beat them, might as well join them.

Beach girls

Those who know tell us, this season the mermaids are swapping the sea for the city streets, tired of not being able to flex their beach look so everyone can see. And they promise to continue to hypnotize whoever crosses their path, not with their seductive voice, but with their enviable looks. Have you imagined paring a swimsuit with a two-piece suit? If you want to be a mermaid just answer “yes” and move along, the wave is yours to take.

Scissor hands

At the beginning of the 90s, Tim Burton introduced the world to Edward, an artist that lived alone in a castle and whose hands made out of scissors prevented him from getting closer to other people. fate decided that his colossal “blades” would end up becoming his biggest treasure, and the prodigy ended up cutting hair and hedges in the most peculiar manner. He must’ve been the one that helped some of these designers when, insecure where to tear the fabric, certainly asked him for help.
