Another season, another set of trends. As is generally the case
these days in fashion, not everything is new-new (case in point: peplums don't
appear to be going anywhere), but luckily, there are enough super-fresh looks to
get you excited about dressing for fall (optical prints! Extreme embroidery!
Purple!). Read on, take note of the trends you love, and get shopping: the new
collections are now hitting stores, so while you may be relishing the last of
the long, sunny days, now's the time to start thinking about what to wear after
you pack away your shorts and sandals.
DECORATIVE ARTS
It's all about opulence, shine, and baroque influences, as models paraded down the Altuzarra runway in embroidered, tasselled and beaded separates and sashayed down the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk covered in gold embroidery. The effect is one of high glamour and can be achieved by choosing anything with appliqués, rhinestones, foil treatments on denim, and, of course, gilded embellishment. "Baroque and Art Deco influences have made gold the metallic colour of the season," confirms Suzanne Timmins, Fashion Director for The Hudson's Bay Company, who suggests finishing the look with gold jewelry, watches and even cosmetics.Softness in the global jeans and women's swim bikini. Not sure how to pull this off for daytime? Barbara Atkin, Holt Renfrew's Vice-president, Fashion Direction, recommends pairing a cropped, black jacket with gold embroidery with leather leggings and a turtleneck sweater for the weekend.
OPTICAL ILLUSION
Statement prints this season fall into one of three categories, the first being perhaps the more outlandish and interesting. Optical illusion prints are exactly as they sound: think anything geometric-squares, circles,Kim Kardashian's 'night uniform costume pix . patterns that make you dizzy - and you get the idea. Try wearing a graphic-printed,If you wore Zubaz, you might as well have been wearing wholesale halloween costume. belted pantsuit to combine the trend with another of the season's freshest new looks.
GET SKINNED
"The leather legging is a must-have for every woman," insists Atkin. " They go great with sheath dresses and tunics, as well as last season's minidresses." From wet-looking, super-slick patent at Acne and Alexander Wang to buttery-soft lambskins at Mulberry, Burberry Prorsum and Marios Schwab, leather this season ranges from oversized jackets to two-piece skirt suits to, yes, leggings. For some-thing more timeless and less, er, hardcore, try a perfecto jacket (a topper to wear with literally everything in your closet), a sleeveless dress (pair with a blazer for the office), or leather skirt (wear with a tee for a laid-back weekend look).
LIFE'S ALL BLACK AND WHITE
Hardly a fall/winter goes by without a resurgence in black - but this time around it looks more S&M-like than ever before, what with all the bits of leather (see "Get Skinned", above) and other opulent, textured fabrics (velvet, fur, suede, lace, and everything in between). At Rag & Bone, a black gown was toughened up with a leather strap that crossed the chest, while a leather bustier dress with lace inset gave an otherwise feminine dress a hard edge at Mulberry. Go with bare legs and ankle boots to complete the look. On the other end of the colour spectrum, winter white has made a comeback - see the slouchy, elegant dresses by BCBG Max Azria and fur-sleeved dresses by Roksanda Ilincic for proof - as has the always-striking combination of black and white together: the colour-blocked dresses by 3.1 Phillip Lim are to die for.
GIRL'S GUIDE TO HUNTING AND FISHING
Like peplums, preppy looks much like those you'd expect to see in an episode of Downton Abbey is one of those trends that seems to re-emerge each fall out. Unlike peplums, this trend usually means separates that translate into timeless pieces that will work independently with every piece in your existing wardrobe. The king of the east coast outdoorsy preppy lifestyle himself, Ralph Lauren, showed a pinstriped brown suit with matching bowler hat: a bit literal, perhaps, but smart nonetheless. According to Atkin, this preppy trend speaks to London's growing influence in fashion once again: "it's all about androgyny: the perfect jacket, blazer, man-tailored pant with pleats, the little vests, the coat worn over a boyfriend cardigan." This trend also lends itself to the crop of new puffer coats ("puffa," as those in the know are calling the once-dowdy clothing item) that are everything but Michelin man.
