[Title] => Bencab sings Lennon-McCartney

Upon viewing the ongoing retrospective of National Artist Benedicto “Bencab” Cabrera, Bencab: The Filipino Artist, at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila (MMM), the link of his art to the Beatles, particularly John Lennon and Paul McCartney, finally turned apparent.
MANILA, Philippines - Nostalgia is the definitive message from the spring/summer 2015 runway. Be it a resurgence of ‘70s influences, a modern update on denim, a reintroduction to suede, and an all-grown-up take on the spring staple, gingham — the design “hive mind” has never been more felt. Sweeping the collections, we take a look at the trends that hit it big.
It’s high time to refresh the eye for style, and your wardrobe, with a seasonal update. YStyle breaks it down.
DENIM DREAMS
Spring 2015 is all about having a denim moment. The runways gave us ladylike jean tailoring (Burberry and Christophe Lemaire), ‘70s-inspired cuts (Kenzo and Diane von Furstenberg), and full-denim looks (Stella McCartney and Chloe). One that stood out from the pack was Gucci, with the recently resigned Frida Giannini at the helm, who took the fabric to task in laced-up tunics and chic separates.
KEEP IT SKINNY
Could it be this season’s must-have? As one of the more relatable (and weather-appropriate) trends, the skinny scarf emerges from the early ‘70s era by way of David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust. The neck accessory was shown in force in
Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent. Striped or in lurex? Tommy Hilfiger and Louis Vuitton
kept it long and lean on the runway.
SAMURAI SHOWDOWN
It’s time to make room for the slouchy, languid shape of a kimono in your spring wardrobe. Designers took inspiration from the classical Japanese robe, paired with martial obis for belts, and applied it to jackets and dresses for spring. 3.1 Phillip Lim kept it downtown sleek in chic separates while Alexander Wang brought a structured version of the kimono to life, cinched with a modern-day obi.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
While polish has always been de rigueur in fashion, spring 2015 is making a case for the unexpected. Be it in the form of frayed hems, obvious stitching and tailor tacks, the juxtaposition of atypical finish and craft makes for a new kind of chic: exposed seams and edges at Lanvin, tacked-on coats at Prada.
SUITS LIKE JAGGER
Inspired by Bianca Jagger’s signature white tuxedos from the ‘70s, designers have once again drawn from the stylish decade. The runways saw a cascade of sharp monochromatic tailoring. Turn to Ford and Christopher Kane for the full-suit. For a fresh take on white: Giambattista Valli and Céline.
WAIST CONFIDENTIAL
From minis and pencils to midis, skirts are serving double-duty as the styling update for spring. In what can be described as “waist defining” details, the layered skirt as apron is trending on the runway from Jacquemus to Jonathan Saunders. A quick way to update an old dress shirt (Peter Som) or tunic (Jil Sander)? Throw a skirt over it.
MONASTIC FANTASTIC
Straight from the Papal visit, YStyle is in the mood for something light and easy; almost ascetic. Designers for spring took the same idea by offering generous silhouettes in the shape of caftans, big skirts and tunics. Trust designers Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen of The Row and Assouline for effortless, lived-in looks. For a more conceptual take, look to Gareth Pugh and Vivienne Westwood.
SEEING SPOTS
In line with gingham, another print that makes an impact for spring is the polka dot. Designers Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley for Marc by Marc utilized the print for a more modern edge. For a more romantic iteration, Dolce & Gabbana used flamenco-influenced shapes for a glamorous and youthful effect.
THE LACING GAME
For spring, lacing-up has emerged as one of the sexier trends straight from the ‘70s. Givenchy took the embellishment to further heights by highlighting monochromatic black looks with a provocative peek of skin, covered in lacing. The style appears in various iterations on the runways (see: Louis Vuitton, Gucci) in the form of subtle cut-outs, shoulder details and corseting.
GINGHAM STYLE
The print for spring is decidedly gingham — --a sophisticated interpretation that took over a majority of the designer runways. The look was ladylike, graphic, adult and completely fresh. Far from a backyard BBQ picnic table, the designers who kept it in check were Altuzarra in smart printed suits, Diane von Furstenberg in youthful separates, and Oscar de la Renta in blown-up proportions.
SUEDE SITUATION
As the most unexpected spring trend, suede comes out on top. Considerably more of a fall/winter staple, designers took it back to the ‘70s with the versatile leather, in either bright pops or full-on pastels. Derek Lam approached the rich material in saturated tailored separates. Leather brand Loewe flaunted to their expertise with monochromatic pastel looks, while designer Jason Wu tempered his signature feminine aesthetic with suede.
IN FULL PLUME
Taking flight for spring, feathers are back for a modern update. Be it fun and flirty (Fendi) or sportif and staid (Balenciaga), the look is whimsical yet decidedly sophisticated. For best in show, Erdem went fully-plucked plumes in show-stopping numbers in bright teal.
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
One of the more obvious, yet hard-to-pull-off “gets” for spring 2015 is ‘70s metallics. Think ultra-short, evening dangerous, the golden age of disco. From Paris to New York, designer Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent was at the forefront in low-cut tops tucked into high-waisted slim pants while Peter Som took flirty silhouettes decked-out in gold lurex.
LUXE BOHEMIAN
In a luxurious take on Coachella and festival fashion, the spring 2015 runways brought back the iconic hippie-chic look. Alberta Ferretti sent down youthful silhouettes embellished (with lightness) in lace and tassels. Taking a step right out of the 1970s, Saint page offered a kaleidoscope of colorful bohemian motifs while Louis Vuttion kept it minimal in laced-up tunics.
WAITING IN THE WINGS
Be it long skirts or ballet pink, a micro trend to emerge from the spring runways was inspired by classical dance. Be it Valentino, Alberta Ferretti and Monique Lhuillier, designers offered long, languid silhouettes in elegant tulles and silk. The most literal interpretation belonged to Undercover (in BlackSwan — inspired shapes and styling), but for a modern take, look to Haider Ackermann’s return to form in subtle shades and slouchy shapes.
UNDER THE HOOD
For a reinterpretation of the classic workman’s jumper, designers this season took inspiration from the world of the everyday man, creating looks for the fashion-forward woman. At A.F. Vandevorst, Stella McCartney, Pucci, Versus, and Chloé, the utilitarian jumpsuit is poised to become the new uniform of the chic and sophisticated.
POP ART
Rounding up this season’s mélange of trends, we see pop art making a dent on the spring 2015 runways. From Dries Van Noten’s dramatic prints, to Loewe’s paneled Lichtenstein-esque dresses, to Thom Browne and his over-the-top couture--fashion is art’s new canvas.
UNMOORED AT SEA
The under-the-sea motif is bubbling up to the surface for spring 2015. Taking the unexpected side of nautical inspiration, designers and sibling duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy ran away with deliciously ornate dresses with bubbles and baubles for embellishment. London-based designer Mary Katrantzou took her graphically inclined aesthetic adorned with 3D paillettes. For a more classical take on the trend, Valentino took the plunge with starfish and sea creatures embossed on their signature gowns.
VESTED INTEREST
For more weather- neutral fashion, the vest has arrived to make a comeback for spring 2015. From a long and louche take at Dior by Raf Simons, to urban structured at Opening Ceremony, the sleeveless suit or gilet is the new layering must-have of the season.
LA SAHARIENNE
Marc Jacobs set one of the bigger trends for spring when his line of bowl-cut models walked down the runway in various iterations of the classic military jacket. The mood was decidedly military chic. In sharp corollary, a utilitarian outdoor aesthetic also pervaded the shows with Ralph Lauren leading the pack in safari-style whimsy. For more on the trend, Rodarte’s vive la resistance-inspired outerwear, Sacai’s glamorous fatigues and Victoria Beckham’s army shapes.
Adidas by Stella McCartney is not just a fashion brand that happens to be suitable for sports — it is, foremost, an athletic wear label that fashionable athletes just love.
Yoko Ono’s 40-year retrospective of conceptual art is titled Yoko Ono Half-a-Wind Show. Retrospective opened at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain on March 14 and will run until Sept. 1. But the exhibit misses her most influential artwork the Beatles.
