Vinyl fabric was spotted all over the runways during Fashion Month. The slick material was ubiquitous, making subtle appearances everywhere from Isabel Marant and Kenzo to Louis Vuitton and Valentino. At Kenzo, the trend looked stunning in a sleek black vinyl dress with a deep v neckline.
Grommets and lace up detailing gave added texture, while styled over a voluminous blouse oozed class. At Lanvin, vinyl popped up by way of a maxi length trench with a nipped waist. We’ve seen similar iterations of trench coats before in more traditional fabric options, but in vinyl? It’s just so fresh!
Style with a pair of cut-out heels and chandelier earrings for added glam. Isabel Marant was no exception to the trend, making a bold statement with a red vinyl trench coat. Rock-inspired details, like a studded belt, give this look a rebellious vibe. Turn heads by pairing with pointed flats, embellished with studded detailing, and a pair of graphic zebra striped socks.
Looking lovely and elegant, Valentino also incorporated vinyl into their Fall 2016 collection. A long line chester coat is so sophisticated, and with burgundy vinyl fabric, it becomes even more contemporary. Get styling inspiration and pair with a neutral piece, like a beige turtleneck and a quilted leather clutch for a modern take.
Never one to blend in with the crowd, Louis Vuitton took strong influences from grunge-inspired fashion for their Fall 2016 collection. Look sharp and nab attention with a pair of fierce red vinyl pants. Pair with an off the shoulder top with cut out detailing to complete your siren-approved look.
Avant-garde and experimental, Commes des Garcons and Hood by Air are known for pushing boundaries when it comes to fashion. Get ahead of the game like these stylish trendsetters and opt for color ways like bubble gum pink and a fiery shade of red.
Judging by these gorgeous Fall 2016 collections, it looks like the fashion world is just as obsessed as we are with vinyl! We have a plethora of different vinyl fabric options to suit your needs.

Valentino’s burgundy vinyl chester coat paired with a beige turtleneck is a nice reminder that vinyl doesn’t always have to scream for attention to look modern.
I appreciate the mix of styling ideas here, especially layering vinyl over softer pieces like the voluminous blouse at Kenzo to balance out the shine.
I liked how you highlighted the Kenzo black vinyl dress with the deep V and lace-up grommets, it makes vinyl feel more wearable instead of just costume-y.
That red vinyl trench from Isabel Marant with the studded belt really leans into the rock vibe, and the zebra socks idea makes it feel playful instead of overdone.
The mention of Comme des Garcons and Hood by Air using bubblegum pink and fiery red vinyl really shows how far this material can be pushed beyond classic black.
Louis Vuitton’s red vinyl pants with an off-the-shoulder top feel very bold, but I can see how that grunge influence makes the look more intentional than flashy.
The Lanvin maxi vinyl trench with a nipped waist sounds surprisingly elegant, especially paired with cut-out heels and chandelier earrings like you suggested.
