Stealing your boyfriend blazer is not a crime, since Yves Saint Laurent popularized androgyny in women’s fashion decades ago. Every season, designers bring us vests, beenie hats, baggy pants, and tuxedo jackets in new shapes and combinations.
Baggy jeans are a hot trend, but fall’s avangarde slouchy pants with their tailored take, endow a silhouette with a more sophisticated and grown up look. At YSL, LV, Marc Jacobs and Nina Ricci, the models were walking with fabric, bagged, bunched, and looped low down between their legs.
‘Tartans are absolutely brilliant’ said Vivienne Westwood. It seems that designers like Henry Holland and Dolce&Gabbana support her belief, as tartans were a main leitmotif at their Fall/Winter ’09 fashion shows.
Long and lean skirts paired with knitted cardigans and jackets are not just the favorite uniform of modest girls, it’s the fall’s new trendy look, delivered to the catwalk by designers such as Alexander Wang, Carlos Miele, Halston, and Marc Jacobs.
From the freshest of spring lawns into winter gardens, florals are a trend that never die. Purple hues, nightfall shades of blues, russet browns, subtle grays in the form of lilacs and beaded poppies splashed on skirts, dresses, and chiffon blouses, florals are everywhere for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
It was obvious at the Fall/Winter fashion shows that peplum was trendy once more, as well as a ladylike attitude towards fall styles.
Prada’s lace from their fall/winter collection is super popular these days. Almost every magazine is featuring the label’s lace dresses in their fall issues.
Egg-shaped dresses are quite a risky outfit and they may not work for most women. But their dramatic play on proportion is the thing we love the most about them.
Animal prints, reptile accessories, bold brights – you will never forget your trip to the tropics. A belted safari jacket, a brown cotton shorts and dresses, pocket detailing, exotic tunics and the cuff bracelet is everything you need to embrace this season’s safari trend.
The Denim Shirt is not a huge trend this season, but denim pieces were a big theme at the Chanel and D&G shows, Danielle Scutt and Pucci also payed a tribute to the denim shirt wearing nonconformists by augmenting the chic fabric with massive gold chains, bell-bottomed pants, and gold framed sunglasses.
