Denims, camouflage, bold lip shades… The list of classics goes on and it seems this year is the revival of those. Or maybe not. With the undulating cycle of bringing the old trend back to be the current hottest fashion style, it is hard to keep track of what is original and just new to the eye. Yet whether the look is new or old or recycled, the love for what’s on today is not diminishing – especially with the pieces treated with a fresh outlook.
In this fall, another classic that has made its appearance is the Houndstooth. While it is never totally out of the fashion scene, numerous sightings of this print in runways for this year have defined what the print will hit the stores as the intense heat of summer gives way to leaves falling down into the ground in a riot of muted colors.
Houndstooth is of Scottish origin, particularly of the lowlands where the print is first woven into fabrics of wool in a twill pattern. Later on, as De Pinna of New York City introduced Houndstooth to the fashion world in 1885, a variety of forms of this print appeared in the industry marking its place in the runways and on stores since then. Yet is wasn’t until the fifties did the print reached its full glory and became an Audrey Hepburn favorite.
In the current style, Miu Miu Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear included Houndstooth in their collection themed by postmodernism and plastic, fake, and artificial. Houndstooth are treated in arrays of colors, all looking unnatural and borderline plastic layered with classics from the fifties to the nineties.
There are also other collections of Houndstooth where the print was partnered with lace. Designers such as from Michael Kors, Rodarte, and Altuzarra went with this formula. Designers used the Houndstooth as layering over dresses, skinnies, and the tops often with lace as part of the fabric.
Handset for 2015 often appears in small forms called puppytooth and usually shown in outerwears like blazers, yet there are also some in skirts and tops, and pants. From earth tones to bold colors, Houndstooth or shall we say puppy tooth, has evolved from its classic look.
