trends...

i hate to be too trendy. but i figure i should share my viewpoints on the upcoming fall season. so what is coming into popularity? im not talking crocs or uggs popularity. these are the trends that were seen all over the runways, and that the trend/brand conscious will be following. 

here we go:

the suit: wide shoulders but a continued defined waist. 

who made menswear a strong statement? 

isabel marant, dries von noten (flowers from top to toe), john richmond, jil sander, whyred, etro, yohji yamato, louis vuitton. 

etro takes it to another level with the school-boy look with a drooping bow & feather clutch.

plum: 

who pulled it off? 

proenza schouler, bottega veneta, alberta ferretti and dior

bottega veneta dares to be different in head-to-toe plum.

sweaters: every fall we see this warm staple re-enter our wardrobes. this fall, it's all about pockets, large knitting and huge collars. 

who worked it?

marni, stella mccarntney, byblos,  fendi, missoni (with boatneck collars),

donna karen and sonya rykiel. 

cozy, huh?

lace: i mentioned lace in my last post. sure, lace has been present in the past. what are you thinking of? madonna? small lace gloves? im sorry, but lace has hit another level now. CLASSY. 

who rolled out the red carpet for some lacey garments and accessories? 

prada, carin wester, roberto cavalli, and alexander mcqueen.

i feel like im stuck in an adams family/hitchcock movie. this lace is a bit much. but do you expect anything less of the out-there alexander mcqueen?
