Key spring ready-to-wear clothing shows in four cities—New York City, London, Milan, and Paris—took place from Sept. 2 through Oct. 1, resulting in a fresh crop of clothing trends. Jewelers need to take note in order to stock cases with the right pieces to complement the necklines and silhouettes of the season ahead. The 1970s was one of the spring 2015 clothing trends outlined in Fashion Trend Report: 10 Spring 2015 Clothing Trends Jewelers Must Know and Why. Here are 10 ways to adorn some of those spring ensembles.
The 1970s
When was the last time we witnessed such a healthy respect for the ’70s? Rebecca Minkoff suggested it in jumpsuits paired with gold-tone jewelry, as did Elie Saab and Saint Laurent with flowing silhouettes. But it was the Italians—Gucci, Alberta Ferretti, Just Cavalli, and Emilio Pucci—that positively owned the era with fringe, feathers, beads, and golden touches. Complementary jewelry should be gold, mimic the motifs, and bring lots of sexy to the equation.
