DESIGN DETAILSFW20 edited for FW21Design details add a dose of drama to this season’s clothing silhouettes. There is lots of newness in the neckline department, with elongated pointy collars, quaint puritan styles, fluid drapery and exaggerated lapels. Shoulder emphasis is created with extra padding, and sleeves continue with poufy volume; dropped shoulder-seams update both looks. Built-in elements include capes and bras, while corset-like effects are constructed with seaming. Tailored wovens gain dimension from twisting and wrapping, while quilting updates with a variety of patterns. Fringe appears across classifications, and the multi-panel “car wash” skirt re-emerges. Ruffles are ubiquitous in statement-making layers, as are gathers in the form of ruching, smocking or drawstrings.
