(1) Your Old Belt Will Seem Boring
Waist as focal point is not really new: We’ve been cinching and pinching for
a few seasons now. The spring waist is encircled elaborately, with ornate belt plates (at Valentino) and updates on traditional Japanese obis at both Hermès and Lanvin. Giambattista Valli’s simple olive sash was a fresh take on the look, while Alexander McQueen
kept it clean
and monochromatic.

(2) You’ll Love Your Pants—Finally
Recent seasons have seen nothing but dresses
and skirts, and there were plenty of those for next spring too. But there were also scattered appearances of great trouser suits,
in all sorts of shapes: full-legged and high-waisted at Armani and Bottega Veneta, softly washed
at Rochas, and lean, mean, and rock-star ready at Balenciaga.
