Poll analysis: The Roaring 20s and the Grungey 90s are back!

Thanks so much to everyone who voted in my poll, 'Which Era is your Favourite for Fashion?' The 1920s and the 1990s stormed ahead of the poll with 19% of the votes each, closely followed by the 1950s and 2000-Present with 12%.

After scrutinizing the trends shown throughout the fashion month, I found the 1920s and 1990s has been echoed on the catwalks across the various fashion weeks earlier this month.



Trotting along the catwalk at London fashion week last month, Mario Schwab teleported us back to the roaring '20s with an array of wide-brimmed and cloche hat à la Boardwalk Empire. Continuing the trend, Ralph Lauren channeled the era through pastel colours and shimmering fabrics which conjures up dim-lit ballrooms and coupe champagne glasses filled to the brim with Moutard. Max Mara filled the stage with an atmosphere of Bauhaus rationalism, with military fabrics, and calf-lenght skirts -a much more severe take on the '20s  than seen on Ralph Lauren.

Moving swiftly on 70 years, the fun, yellow-smiley, grungey '90s graced our catwalk, most notably Jeremy Scott. We can always rely on Scott to provide a fun, childish take on fashion and he did not let us down at the New York A/W 2012-13 show. Predominantly neon furs, Bart Simpsons, and cosmic unicorns, he makes the younger generation feel nostalgic and filled with 'Care Bear' glee. Jonathan Saunders jumped on the '90s bandwagon and greeted us with grungey loose woven knits over girly spring colours, a slightly more mature approach to the era.

So, my readers appear to be in touch, consciously or subconsciously, with the fashions appearing on the A/W 2012-13 catwalks. Keep on truckin'.
