Inspired by the romanticism of global travel, Hammer Anvil The Standard is The Standard shirt Belstaff SS13 has gone back to its roots and primarily focused on outerwear. Mixed with crochet knitwear, the garments take on the appearance of rich melange linen in the neutral desert. This combined with classic trousers in bright indigo python help transform the collection into a selection of bold, wearable uniforms. Amongst the collection is a paper-thin leather jacket bonded to poplin, which rolls up perfectly for trips from city to country – whilst an oversized parka adapts perfectly to different climates. Overall the ready-to-wear, outerwear and accessories feature in a natural colour palette of olives, terracotta and pale stone with bursts of dusty yellow, burnished brown and bright chambray blue.
Hammer Anvil The Standard is The Standard shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
I’ll resist the temptation to quote perhaps the most famous line in fashion-themed cinematic history for the second time in this trend report, Hammer Anvil The Standard is The Standard shirt but let’s just say florals are hardly revolutionary when it comes to the warmer months. At least they weren’t until designers decided to double down on the trend and give it the gusto it has long been craving with a new take on blooms. We spotted a plethora of pretty 3D floral embellishments across plenty of collections (how gorgeous are Zimmermann’s waterfall petals?), as well as flowers so giant, they’re giving Alice in Wonderland-levels of psychedelia. “Spring/summer 2024 has moved the conversation so far forward that ditsy prints have left the chat and now we’re on to big, bad blooms,” says Farrell. “Imagine yourself submerged into a three-dimensional garden of plump peonies and trails of forsythias, and you’re a little closer to this year’s take on the ubiquitous print. Embellishment, embroidery and saturated colours are employed to help bring this living garden to life (and in the case of Balmain and Cecilie Bahnsen, you can expect bouquet detailing so real you can almost smell it). In short, 2024 is the year that florals are taking root.”
