Seen on both the Runway and the Red Carpet, designers proved they did not come to play with the metallics this season.
Making its runway debut in the 1930s, metallics experienced a surge in popularity. Lamé, which is known for its iconic metallic sheen, became an essential for evening wear at this time. However, lamé had historical roots, as it had been used for centuries in fashion and furniture design for the elite. It wasn’t until the 1930’s when this texture became widely popular among all classes of people.
Lamé was not a material that stayed on the runway forever. Metallics became less popular through time as fashion shifted back towards a focus on neutrality with designers experimenting with other fabrics and materials. Although in the 1960s, during the era of futurism, metallics came back with a bang. Metallic fabrics and space-age materials dominated the fashion scene, gracing mod dresses and go-go boots with a cosmic flair.
Metallics became the go-to once again and thrived during the age of fashion-futurism. The lust that lamé provided was perfect for that intergalactic glow the 60s aimed to achieve. Although futurism faded, so did the usage of metallic fabrics.
It did not take long before metallics revived in both the 80s and early 2000s. Metallic clothing has proven its enduring appeal, cycling through various decades throughout history. The Disco Era provided opportunities for metallics to shine in the spotlight once again. With funky, shimmering jumpsuits and a return of the go-go boots, metallics fit right in during the fashion of the 80s.
Now here we are in 2023, with metallics trickling their way back into the fashion world. Metallics are back with a vengeance, taking the runway by storm with bold and innovative designs that push the boundaries of conventional fashion.
Celebrities like Julia Garner, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Beyonce, and Shakira have embraced this trend, dazzling on the red carpet and showcasing the irresistible allure of metallics.
As the holiday season approaches, metallic pieces offer an easy and elegant way to elevate your festive wardrobe. Whether it's Christmas or New Year's, these tones exude glamour and beauty, making them the perfect choice for the Holiday season.
For any Holiday or New Years events this winter consider incorporating metallic pieces into your wardrobe. Chunky silver hoops or layered necklaces bring a natural metallic element to any outfit, adding a touch of flair.
