FALL ’09 TRENDS


Not only the forties, but double that, because the eighties are back as well. That’s right, both decades came back tough this season, and the runways prove it with strong shoulders and nipped waists outfits. (Lanvin on the left and Marc Jacobs on the right)

A few days ago, I was watching “what not to wear!” on TV and there was this woman who kept all of her outfits from the eighties, sure enough Stacy and Clinton got rid of everything, including a biker’s like leather jacket. The woman said she was saving it in case it would become stylish again, and they laughed. Well Stacy and Clinton, I am sorry to tell you that this time you were wrong. Leather comes strong this season, especially in jackets.

If you think this style is to “rocker” for you, don’t worry, because tailored and serious suits are also in. The coats this time are long; they remind me of all those coats I made my mom to give away… (Very eighties).




Prada Yves Saint Laurent Hussein Chalayan

If you are rather lacy and feminine, Louis Vuitton and many other designers are on your side this season. Lace is everywhere, either in shoes, or in clothes, it is a must on your wardrobe.


Louis Vuitton Lanvin

To keep yourself warm, designers have decided that fur, either fake or real, will help you with that chore, so try it this season.

Now if you don’t like to cover up, try at least one shoulder and let the other one free, because this season everyone followed Tim Gunn’s guide to style and came up with very nice little black dresses. So if you want to change yours, this is the perfect time to buy a new one, with just one shoulder.

Giorgio Armani Calvin Klein

Among other trends you also need to follow this fall, are belts; they work of everybody, and this time it is not just the thick belts, but also the regular or thin ones, so this is the time for you to increase that collection.

I know it is fall, and we are used to have some solid dark colors, however this season designers decided to keep using patterns, even floral, and bright colors such as pink, blue, yellow and even neon, like Michael Kors, and Marc Jacobs.
