The backlash against excess has begun. For Prefall (and F/W), you’ll be seeing fewer peacock styles, and more real clothes for real people (that would be most of us) which will bring us back to a time of less showing off – the ’90s (specifically 1995-1999). So black and white will rule, and less will really look better than more.
