FALL TRENDS

I love when my predictions are right, here they are all summed up, the trends for Fall 2010. (there are some more but these are my fav)

Camel is the new black

While it isn't the only colour of the season, it is the colour of the season. Wear it anyway and every way. Head-to-toe, with black, with white, with denim. As outwear, inner-wear or on your feet.

Chloé

MaxMara, Gucci

Hervé Léger, Chloé

Aquascutum, Dolce and Gabbana

Marc Jacobs, Salvatore Ferragamo

Leopard Ladies

Fur is in, and so is this fierce print! Be daring and wear it as a full coat as seen in Gucci and Moschino (so Kate moss!). If not, warm up to the bold look by wearing leopard print accessories.

Clockwise: Salvatorre Ferragamo, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Balmain

Furocious Accents

Wear it from head to toe if you please like the Chanel fall 2010 show (Lagerfeld used faux fur for the entire show FYI) or use it as an accent piece. Real or Faux, this looks is hot.

Clockwise: Derek Lam, Jeremy Laing, Fendi, Oscar de la Renta

Mad woMen - Fifties

Totally fifties, totally hourglass, totally feminine. Accentuate your figure with a belted or pinched waist and a fuller skirt. Cute box cut handbags and yet some fur accents!

Clockwise: Loewe, Prada, Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton

Aviator anyone?

Bored of your pea coat (I AM!) Time to change things up and don a sporty shearling coat.

Leather Love

Leather isn't just for dominatrix. Wear this material in a new sexy way.

Chloe- spring/summer '09

Chloe's spring collection for 2009 demonstrated their ability to personalize the latest trends, delivering a selection of garments that truly take my breath away. Designers stuck to natural and earthy colours such as mossy greens, dessert beiges and of course spring’s fresh and classic shade; white.



Experimenting with fabrics seemed to be another theme using gleaming silk taffetas that added an element of light to dark hues. If you are feeling confident, have fun with your trousers wearing ballooning pants that clinch not only at the waist, but at your ankles. The more hourglass-like, the better. Another fav fabric was sheer which will be seen across the fashion maps as designers are intrigued with the idea of translucency, making for a magical, feminine look that is sheer-ly striking.

Models emerged in cocktail dresses that tribute to David Bowie and his signature shoulder exaggerating outfits. Its only been thirty years but the eighties are back, as demonstrated through the hourglass look. Its all about making the waist as slimming as possible by adding more to your hips and shoulders. Designers, including Chloe are showing asymmetrical cuts for both tops and dresses, for day or night, baring one shoulder gives you sexy, yet conservative look.

We already discussed the love of the boyfriend fit jean, and it seems that fashion gurus aren’t done raiding the men’s department. Not only should you be grabbing your guy’s jeans but while your at it you should outfit yourself in a tailored boyfriend blazer. This entails a longer cut than we’re used to in the past, but paired with mini-shorts (*another NOW TREND) and a simple pair of flats will leave you not only looking carelessly stunning, but tres avant-garde.

With yet another trend of the time, Chloe tied their collection together with nothing more suitable, than beautiful bows. Draping, oversized and flowing clothes (aka ultimate comfort- finally!) is totally in, as long as you add tie it up with a bow!
DIY, add a bow themed belt to your outfit, to add a little spring to your older looks!

I realize that was quite a mouthful so I’m going to try and sum it up in 50 words or less:

GET: creative
Sheer: please be cautious with this, sheer is only IN when you keep your parts hidden.
Hourglass: tight waist, and explode out from there in opposite directsion. Lost? Google Images: David Bowie. You’ll get it.
Asymetrical: one shoulder wonder
MINI (shorts, skirts, dresses) *flats with shorts please
Boyfriend Blazer, boyfriend jean
