Wild West: Costume Norway September 2013


Costume Norway has released a “Wild West” inspired Editorial for September 2013. The modern-day western was heavily influenced by the various trends of this upcoming season. The ensembles were perfectly executed with layered prints and textures with bold silver and gold jewelry, oversized felt hats, and variations of denim and outerwear. In terms of the makeup- fresh dewy skin, wet and wavy hair, and soft smudged eyeliner complimented the style beautifully. Floral prints were modernized in deep, contrasting colors, while metallic hues made a statement in detailed blazers and loose trousers. Button-downs were seen peeking out of knitted sweaters, vests, and silk blouses. The most interesting part of the clothing was in fact the ability to mix and match different prints, all the while creating a new, fresh look for this Fall/Winter 2013. This upcoming season is all about breaking the rules. While minimalism has made its way to many new collections, the unique patterns and silhouettes of the clothing cannot go unnoticed. Whether you’ll opt for a western-inspired look, rock-glam ensemble, or a clean and refined getup, Fall/Winter 2013 is all about going against the current.
