ow that the temps are finally dropping, here is a look at fall's must-have fashions from the perspective of Arlene Goldstein, vice president of fashion merchandising and trend direction at Belk (and also a Montgomery native).
Goldstein got her start forecasting the next big things in fashion and still has a keen eye for what's coming up next.canada goose parka jackets
“It's often that in one season what is hinted at becomes full-blown the next,” Goldstein said. “Like skinny jeans. They were first seen in the major cities. It took several years for them to hit the mainstream.”
Where do trends originate? She said they emerge from the Internet, music, movies,moncler down coats TV shows, the beat on the street.
“I'm a forecaster, so I'm looking at that tip of the iceberg,” she said. “Today, it's a multi-channel world; fashion is formed from the eyes of many. It's so global. It's very exciting. Now, we have fashion bloggers and Tweeters. I am following many of them. Dianna (Vanegas), the fashion coordinator in the office, follows many bloggers. You get such a combination of different style statements.”
Goldstein, Vanegas and crew have pinpointed four distinct themes that define the looks for fall:
“My Fair Lady” takes us back to the ultra-fem look, with the ladylike blouses, retro touches and glamour and glitz for day and night. How to pull it off? Seek out peplums, pussycat bows and Peter Pan collars, waist definition and dressmaker touches like ruching and wrapping. Also, feminine dresses with a hint of nostalgia and textiles like lush wools, silk, satin,duvetica jackets lace, lamé and sequins — for day. Add prints: python, paisley, baroque patterns and intense doses of color. And statement pendants, grand earrings, long chains and bold cuffs top this look off.
“Mod Modern” is a '60s-inspired motif emphasized by sleek lines, color blocking/banding, shift dresses and slim pants. Structured knits, ponte, melton wools, leather and New Age synthetics are key fabrics here, and there are graphic, often computer-generated patterns, with checks, bold plaids, dots, snake, Mondrian-like blocks and bars.
“Town and Country” style is big on craftsmanship, texture and luxury with tweeds, denim, silk, flannel casual and dressy fabrics in the same look, plus lots of patterns such as plaids, English florals, checks and cheetah (you can even mix, say, delicate florals with new tartans, as long as they have at least one color in common).
Items that define this look: British tan-colored boots and handbags in rich vintage leathers, felt fedoras and cloches, skinny belts, bold gold jewelry, chunky knit caps and mufflers.
“Vivid,” summed up as “a chromatic crescendo of maximalist color,” pairs rich hues with unexpected neutrals, such as tomato red paired with elephant gray, cobalt with true navy, and bright fuchsia mixed with deep eggplant.
Here again we see color blocking and banding, as well as dressing head-to-toe in one bright tone. Go ahead and break the rules by clashing — on purpose, wearing ruby red with purple or hot pink with emerald.
