SS21 Alert: the Cutout fashion trend
Fashion designers reshape the femininernsilhouette to achieve that peek-a-boo effect
Retro nostalgia or something new to astonish? The Cutout fashion trend is back for this Spring Summer 2021 with a specific goal: amaze all the fashion victims with a pair of scissors. There's a precise ritual strategy to create the perfect cut out and designers must know their audience’s taste: someone prefers delicate cuts and holes in the fabric, others want to shock people into paying attention with a bold and cheeky style. No matter what you think, the Cutout is able to catch the eye.
The art of seduction
it's not just about trends, we're talking about a way to express oneself. If you cut the fabric in the right place, you can turn an innocent dress into a naughty garment. Look at the international celebs they've embraced with enthusiasm the Cutout trend showing something more of their body to express femininity and self-consciousness.
The contemporary art
Cut outs don't go unnoticed, in fact they are used as key features to attract everyone's eyes and they can also push us to reflection. The Cutout trend changes every piece of clothing, giving them movement, changing the concept of clothing as a cultural expression. An interpretation that reminds us of Lucio Fontana's famous cuts on canvas: the skin everyone can see through cut outs is part of the look itself. The fabric, as the canvas, becomes a work of art.
The body art
Cutting out pieces of fabrics is not the only feature to make a dress cool or edgy, the fit is what really matters. Every piece has to be carefully designed so that silhouette and idea can easily combine and be perfectly functional. This is the only way to use cut outs as a means to expressing femininity: clothings finally became symbols of emancipation from the male gaze.
