For the street-style set, blending in is not an option.
Exhibitors at UBM Fashion’s MAGIC trade show targeted social influencers — and their followers — with outspoken, Technicolor fur coats, bags and trims for fall collections. The idea of social-friendly pieces permeated the show: Powerhouse, colored fur options constantly eclipsed minimalist and understated coats.
Pleasant surprises included Zadig & Voltaire’s camouflage-printed coat. The piece was upgraded with the use of rich, navy blues and forest greens compared to the classic army color palette. Biannual’s electric, coral-red-and-white, color-blocked shag coat made quite the first impression and seemed to be begging for an Instagram tag. Other pieces of note included MinkPink’s banana yellow cropped number, a multicolored pouch by One by Love by Diego Binetti, and a graphic patchwork version by Peri Luxe.
