THE ICONIC RUNWAY X was an aesthetic collision of Y2K nostalgia and modern Web3 influence that left us hungry for more. Between the swaying rainbow of Frank Green water bottles and voguish display of metallic baguettes, we can’t help but feel our go-to beaten-up totes pale in comparison to this catwalk’s exceptional accessory display. Wanna bring these high-octane accents to your everyday look? Here’s a quick round-up of the 6 stand-out runway trends we’ll be adding to our carts this season.
High-Shine
Like moths to a flame or it-girls to a sequinned clutch, our eyes and screens were immediately lit up with the parade of high-shine handbags that shimmied down the runway. Catching the light with every strut, these sequin and metallic styles are an instant show-stopper, destined to make a statement on the dancefloor of your next evening soirée.
Emotional Support Water Bottles
There’s no imagining how dehydrated we’d all be if we didn’t have Frank Green’s range of aesthetically pleasing water bottles to keep us company on the daily. Models took this emotional support phenomenon to a whole new level with a display of the brand’s signature coloured flasks swinging amongst designer bags and daring looks, highlighting their wearability and vibrant appeal.
Only The Essentials
With interactive screens and an overarching Web3 theme, it’s no wonder accessories designed with personal technology in mind were a recurring motif on the runway. Fit for only the essentials with no room for clutter, this contemporary, phone-focused approach to the classic cross-body is a chic answer to the modern party-goer’s accessories edit.
Noughties Shoulder Bags
From the structured baguettes that emerged from the 90s to the slouchy, oversized shoulder bags that reigned supreme later on, 2000s fashion did arm candy like never before. Swinging on the shoulders of models as they sashayed down this season’s runway, we were delighted to see chic and contemporary reimaginings of the nostalgic silhouettes we know, love and can’t wait to reunite with.
Vintage Designer
Furthering the theme of Y2K throwbacks, Pre-Loved By Azura Reborn sent genuine examples of these time-honoured styles down the catwalk with glimpses of vintage Balenciaga and Chanel Classic Flaps popping out amidst a distinctly modern setting. This old-meets-new approach to accessorising highlights the instantly recognisable and everlasting appeal of pre-loved designer it-bags that’ll continue to stand the test of time.
Beach Bags
As the winter chill fades and our washing starts to finally dry properly, it comes time to fill our wishlists with this summer’s holiday essentials. From pared-back crochet pouches to extra roomy picnic totes, this season’s swimwear was elevated with an array of Pinterest-worthy beach bags that’re ready to carry us (and our things) through summer.
