PHOTOS – Spring-Summer 2021 fashion: Gala's 5 favorite trends<

An invitation to celebrate culture from every angle, the Gala Fashion Special Spring Summer 2021 is like no other. Containment obliges, we wanted to celebrate in this issue "Le monde en mode" culture in all its forms. A first class invitation to explore the world of culture, and pay homage to a few artistic disciplines: architecture, sculpture, painting, cinema, music, dance. An original way to present fashion and strong trends for spring/summer 2021, whatever your style or your desires.

The key word: go straight to the point! Do not clutter up with useless pieces and above all have fun: Dare to wear Glitter like this impeccably cut suit from Louis Vuitton, reveal your femininity with subtlety and sensuality with the net dress like the one from Hermès, play fashion-addict" very 80s with humor with the jacket with excessive shoulder pads from Balmain, fall for the blouse inspired by Max Mara's famous "men's shirt" or shine with a thousand lights with the Bulgari mini bag, the height of luxury ! Nice summer !

1. The mesh dress

The net dress is the star dress of summer 2021! A bit seventies and bohemian at Acne Paris, or a luxury and sexy version at Hermès, this version in horn net and lambskin enhances the body by subtly suggesting a very tight-fitting silk knit dress. This season, the “net” trend is also available in accessories, like this already famous net bag from Longchamp. A hit for the summer.

2. The glitter costume

This summer, we want it to shine! Sequins, metal, lurex hold the top of the poster. You can, of course, wear glitter as a total look like at Isabelle Marant, or to avoid falling into an overly bling bling style, by combining it with basics. Our spring favourite: this spectacular suit entirely embroidered with sequins, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton, resolutely modern worn with a simple white t-shirt. One thing is certain, this summer, glitter will make our summer evenings swing.

3. Oversized shoulder pads

This summer 2021 marks the great comeback of spectacular and exaggeratedly disproportionate shoulder pads like the one, our favorite, designed by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain. Of course, there are many less exaggerated and more easily wearable versions for everyday life, such as these jackets by Alexander McQueen and Altuzarra, a very 80s glamorous style.

4. The striped shirt revisited

It's the beautiful basic of the summer. This spring/summer 2021, the striped men's shirt is unbridled, reinvented, and deconstructed. It can be found in an oversize version at Moncler 1952, or with puffed sleeves at Brunello Cucinelli. At Gala, we love Max Mara's striped cotton poplin shirt with elastic boat neckline, a good reason to appropriate this great basic of the men's wardrobe.

5. The golden bag

Bulgari, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton have understood that gold is the iconic color of summer. It harmonizes perfectly with our tanned skin and illuminates our outfits, even the most sober. The extra tip: we advise you to harmonize it with soft colors like pastel, a precious and feminine setting.
