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.

Marc Jacobs Dares to Bare

New York City native, Marc Jacobs delivers a playful yet glamorous resort collection for 2010. Jacobs uses bright hues, tropical bird and floral patterns, and sky high platform heels to create a youthful recreation of the old fashioned 60s summer set. The latter refers to the classic high-waisted bottoms paired with a bandeau and a cute, cropped over coat or shirt. As seen in other designers such as Chloe and Stella McCartney, tops are intentionally cropped to bare the torso in the most sophisticated manner possible. Ironic how designers have made the fall and winter trends take our most intimate and revealing boudoir pieces and veto the once taboo stereotype that banned us from wearing them in public.

Mixing bolds and prints, prints and prints is a challenge on its own. Jacobs proves that some combinations can surpass clash, and stand out as a statement look. Jacobs also plays with different fabric combinations such as silk lamé and to play up or play down a certain outfit.

The last piece in this collection is a recreation of the gown that Kate Moss, (co-chair to the Honorary Chair Jacobs himself) donned at the MET Gala this past May.

It is easy to tell that the genius behind this collection is the creative director of Louis Vuitton, and is fully immersed and inspired by other designers such as Balmain and Prada. The inspirations shine through his collection and not by any means duplicating, but more so recreating it into the bold, elegant and avant-garde Marc Jacobs we know and love.
