Vandevorst Presents Armor, Belts for Spring 2010 By Hayley Grieve | Published 2009-10-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vandevorst-spring-2010 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2010RTW-AFVVORST) & [afvandevorst.be](http://www.afvandevorst.be/) A.F. Vandevorst created an atmosphere from 500 AD England during the Vandevorst Spring 2010 show in Paris. There were [beautifully layered browns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), sometimes sheer, sometimes clunky knits, but almost always belted over in leather. Some looks featured [loosened corsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), but even better were the [architectural, armored bodices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) complete with peg holes at the joints. The Vandevorst Spring 2010 show distinguished the ladies from the brutish warriors with sexy nude hot shorts and stockings. On a styling point, each model’s hair was whimsically blown to one side, giving the feeling they were facing some serious westerly wind as they trekked the runway passes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Layered Browns:** Opportunity for designers to create innovative layered brown clothing with leather belts. - **Architectural Bodices:** Potential for fashion brands to create armored bodices with peg holes for customization. - **Whimsical Hair Styling:** Beauty industry can capitalize on the trend of whimsically blown hair for unique hairstyles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate layered browns and architectural bodices into their designs. - **Beauty:** Beauty industry can offer services and products to achieve whimsical blown hair styling. - **Leather Goods:** Opportunity for leather goods industry to create belts and accessories to complement the layered browns trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Measured Winter Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-fw26.md)
