How Designers Are Re-inventing The Poncho This Season

First came the designer hoodie: Oversized, often with irreverent slogans and a hot ticket item on the streetstyle circuit. Now, ponchos are getting the same treatment on the Spring Summer 2017 runways.

DKNY's streetwear-inspired collection showcased the poncho as a fashionable cover-up: Sheer, with contrast panelling and paired with sports bras, they gave the typically boring silhouette a sexy spin.

Elsewhere, Sportmax turned the poncho into a more louche design, splashing graphic patterns on them and making the fit loose and billowy.

And despite the more modern interpretations, there were also others that retained the poncho's traditional colour (aka yellow) and shape. Anteprima's take came with a sporty, youthful vibe, while Lacoste's take - a glossy, translucent version - looked like a more upscale version of the original.
