SS27 trend: Sheer shine in liquid organza

See-through shine hits the catwalk: from liquid organza and tulle to high-shine satin and wet-look materials, transparency gets a glossy update.

Besides heavy metallics on the catwalk at houses like Saint Laurent and Dior, a more subtle see-through shine is emerging. Glossy organza fabrics are semi-transparent, creating a translucent glow.

Bianca Spender in particular embraces the trend in her Off Season 27 Resort Women collection, with transparent pieces and looks in silver and greyish green, all in shiny organza fabrics.

The Australian fashion designer also showcases the fabric in two flowing looks in ‘cornflower’, a cloudy mid-blue that Future Snoops has identified as a key colour for FW28/29.

This trend is also visible in the SS27 catwalk collections of Laura Aparicio, Issey Miyake and Shoma among others.

Organza without the shine is also widely seen this season, particularly in sheer ladylike trench coats, as shown by Burc Akyol.

Finally, other glossy looks also stand out for SS27, created with shiny satin-weave fabrics, as seen at Gabriela Hearst and Margiela, or with wet-look finishes, as shown by Margiela and Ottolinger.
