Fashion always reinvents itself. It is common practice for designers to look into the past in order to design the future. This season, the 70s movement is the inspiration. When Instagram introduced patches, designers instantly caught on. They began to just place them everywhere.
We collected patches as kids, traded them, showed them to our childhood friends. Now, we still collect them and we wear them. We place them on bags, jeans, jackets – everywhere. Embroidered patches have been an upcoming trend this season making the patches more fashionable and more chic.
Donna Karan brought the patches into street wear putting them on the front of a classic jeans pair for DKNY in 2014. Marc Jacobs often used the patches for his designs as source of inspiration and showed of pin and patch denim jackets in 2016. Prada reimagined denim in a fresh way for Miu Miu 2016 with tailcoats and jackets personalised with nametag patches and flamingos.
This season with patches you can say whatever you want to say. If you want letters, find beauty in asymmetry, pick a theme like sun, beach or palm trees, play with it like a unicorn patch, just go solo and have one patch but use a strong one or take the floral trend to the patch trend. Anything goes. You may also put them on your bags or purses, decorate your dresses or skirts with them.
Whether you want an artist vibe or a punk effect, be totally chic or bright with cartoons. Your outfit with patches will not let you down and make you stand out in the crowd.
At Milan Fashion Week bloggers were showing of their version of patches. We saw jeans with patches all over the place, shirts with collars full of patches, bags with patches making a statement for the 80s, lace shirts with patches at certain spots to cover up, t-shirts with patches as embroidery or embellishment.
We will see how far this trend goes. It would be fun to see shoes with patches, but we are not sure how likely that is right now. It’s still a fun trend to go with and to add some fun into classic looks.
