One of the most popular fashion trends of the moment seems to be inspired by the abyss, a mermaid style seems to be conquering celebrities, influencers and fashion victims. The style with a mermaidcore vibe is mainly focused on the use of a palette inspired by the colours of the sea. However, the focus is also on textures, the shine and wet effect of certain garments and accessories. There are many ways of interpreting this trend, a tribute to the mermaids, those mythological beings that inhabit the seas that now come to life on the catwalk. This dreamy aesthetic recalls the colours of the sea and the preciousness of shells and rare pearls. Without needing to be covered in starfish from head to toe, all it takes to interpret this trend is a few details. Ready to take a plunge into the most glamorous style of the moment?
Down by the sea but out of the sea, the oxymoron of a sought-after trend. Are you ready to spread the sensual, fun and dreamy allure of a mermaid 2.0? Many fashion houses have chosen to tell this trend. Among the many, designer Nicola Brognano – for Blumarine’s spring summer 2023 collection – chose to take inspiration from the famous Disney original film “The Little Mermaid”.

Scale-like maxi sequins, nets, shell tops and much more allow this trend to be interpreted. Among the most popular garments are the bling bling effect skirts, often metallic and with dazzling appeal. Sequins and glitter can only make our dream of becoming a mermaid come true even in everyday life.
Not only glitter and excessive textures, there are also those who take a more minimalist approach to interpreting this trend. We have talked about colours and fabrics, the silhouettes on the other hand are undoubtedly close-fitting and often embellishing the look are the ever-present corsets enriched with applications such as pearls and crystals.
