The Trend Report - Ocean Blue

The SS/11 catwalk trend are now coming up to being in full swing, as the bleak and impossibly cold winters begin their optimistic ascent into the warmer months, my focus has been working out with underwear designers have translated the catwalk's biggest trends.

Its easy to wear a new fabric, change the lengths of your trousers or skirts to update your wardrobe into the new season, but using the catwalk trend as inspiration for underwear design is something completely different entirely.

I have picked some of the key trends from the SS/11 catwalk reports that have been successfully translated into lingerie. I will add a new trend every day, with catwalk images and my own trend board creation to demonstrate the trends translation into product.

Costume National, Akris and Miu Miu all demonstrated the SS/11 ocean tone of cerulean and shimmering cobalt.

The hue, despite being intense has the quality of also being decidedly feminine. It is paired quite frequently with a glossy black or against a bright cerise as in the collection by Mulberry here. Matthew Williamson and Jason Wu demonstrate how the tone can be so very feminine yet alive with power.

The beautiful cerulean blue has been translated exquisitely by Agent Provocateur and the more dusty cobalt colour forms part of the French Lace collection. Elle Macpherson successfully mixes the two tones and the blue has made it all the way down the price ladder to the brief section of the boudoir range from ASOS.
