Although often more explicitly referenced in street style as opposed to
the runway, a return to the 90s is a trend that refuses to die. However,
towards the latter end of Issey Miyake’s Fall 2013 collection, it became clear
that the designer had made it his mission to rejuvenate the shellsuits of our
youth, although this time they were given a distinctly futuristic feel – a gold
lamé number was chosen to end the show, whereas other versions were (albeit slightly)
more subtle. The silhouette had also been updated – jackets were longer, hoods
exaggerated to give an extra-terrestrial feel, whereas colours were bold enough
to make a true statement.
