Military fashion
We’ll forgive you if your first thought is “military, again?”. Yes, military remains a trend for Autumn / Fall 2010 but not as you’ve previously come to know it. Following on from Spring 2010 the women’s military trend, like the men’s (below), turns away from the pomp and ceremony of military inspired clothing we’ve become accustomed to, and takes its cues from 20th Century military uniforms. From army green to shearling lined boots, it’s now a trend that’s far more subtle but no less appealing. Read more about the women’s military fashion trend by clicking the link.

Lingerie as outerwear

It’s not necessarily about wearing your smalls in the street in the cold of Winter, but wearing underwear as outerwear is never-the-less a trend for Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010. A mixture of sexuality and femininity, the trend encompasses everything from exposed bras and stay ups right through to delicate laces. Given it’s for the colder months there’s also a strong undercurrent of layering lingerie inspired pieces into outerwear. Read up on the lingerie as outerwear trend by following the link.

Leather clothing

We’re in two minds about including leather clothing in a list of trends. Yes, it is on trend but it’s hard to categorise. You see, it works in with so many other trends and isn’t a style unto itself. You’ll wear it with military and you’ll buy hot pants made out of it. Nor is there anything new in wearing leather itself. But include it we must, you see the leather trend is extending into pretty much every other trend for the season. You name it, it’ll be an option for your wardrobe in the colder months. Leather shorts, leather dresses, leather leggings… and more. Click to read about the leather fashion trend.

Buttoned-up collars

Refined sophistication underlies this burgeoning trend; so store those sloppy boyfriend shirts and revealing open collars. Whether it’s a sheer blouse, a crisp business shirt, or an elegant shirt dress, the only way to wear it in 2010 and 2011 is to button it up. All the way up. Click to read about the buttoned-up shirt collar trend.

Cut out clothing

Normally a clothing style exclusive to Spring / Summer, the cut out / cutaway made a big impact on the Autumn / Fall catwalks. And it did so for more than clothing, but accessories as well. Seen in a variety of styles, with the cut out pieces worked directly on top of skin or ‘filled in’ with sheer fabrics, the cutaway detailing can be worked from the subtle to the sexy. Designed for the milder days, you can read up on the cut out clothing trend by following the link.

Knee high socks

Given that thigh high boots are on trend (see below) and that they can’t be worn every day (unless you’ve amassed a big collection) there has to be an alternative with similar appeal. Hence for Autumn / Fall 2010 you’ll find yourself rummaging through your sock draw and donning a pair of knee high socks. Or over the knee socks. Or thigh high socks. From the sporty to the sparkly, to layerings of socks over tights; a great pair of socks can add that extra, and much needed, eye catching detail to an outfit. Click to read more about the knee high socks trend and how to wear it.

White tights

When the warm weather turns to Autumn, and Autumn turns to Winter, we often reach for our black tights as a legwear staple. How about trying white for a fresh, bright change? Whether you wear them vintage-style with a minidress and bold colours, or all light hues like a fairytale snow queen, there are various looks you can create. Click to read more about the white tights and leggings trend and how to wear it.

Women’s camel coat

Despite having been popular on the catwalks, the camel coat didn’t make a strong appearance on the streets until late Winter 2010. We blame that fact on the fierce weather that blighted so many seasons. Better in Autumn and in late Winter (with Spring on the horizon), the camel coat is the alternative to the classic trench in 2010. See street style inspiration pictures by reading up on the women’s camel coat trend.

Velvet clothing

Velvet is loved by many, despised by some; but we think the Autumn / Fall 2010 revival of velvet presents some great new options for your wardrobe. How to wear it? We look at four major styles, from the grungette girl to the classically elegant starlet, the vintage-inspired whimsical coquette to the masculine-as-feminine velvet clad Dandy… Quality is key, colours are rich, and it can work for everything from pants to dresses, handbags to hats. Click to read more about the velvet trend and how to wear it.

Neo double breasted jackets

The neo double breast takes simplicity to a new level; often just with two-buttons, architecturally cut to be striking and often straying from traditional fabrics. The neo double breast is a perfect trendlet for creating simple yet sophisticated impact in a jacket. Click to read about the neo double breast trendlet.

Sheer clothing
Cut out and sheer? No, we haven’t got our seasons mixed up. Yes, sheer pieces are in for the cold months. Yes, we agree that sounds a little strange. But no, it doesn’t look strange. Anything but. Mixed with fine laces, the sheer trend in 2010 mixes elegance with sex appeal – and isn’t that the current, overarching theme to all fashion trends? Come this Autumn / Fall have the confidence to mix your sheer clothing with other trends and key looks (see the bottom of this article for more) and you’ll be onto a winner. Just be conscious of the fact that sheer pieces are revealing, and that means extra care. Read more on the sheer clothing trend by following that link.

Capes

Having made a strong impression in Autumn / Fall 2009, capes return for this year’s colder months. Seen on the catwalks of Halston and Preen, amongst others, capes in their various forms will be amongst the most elegant of fashion trends. And yet it doesn’t have to be. Capable of being mixed up and styled in a plethora of ways, this is a style that will suit both high fashion and those days when you just want to throw something on.

New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Spring 2010

Designers at New York Fashion Week had a new tactic to woo back wary customers: flowers.

Those lovely symbols of spring renewal emerged through rain-drizzled gloom on Sunday on Mercedes Benz Fashion Week’s fourth day. But that doesn’t mean everything was roses — the floral patterns looked like flowers after the rain, a little worse for wear.

Muted florals were blurred like they had been caught in a downpour. The sense was one of transition: Spring is coming, but not undaunted.

Retailers should be satisfied with the pops of color, something they want to draw customers into stores. Yet the colors aren’t so bright they require sunglasses — designers are aware of the gloomy context, too.

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG

Diane von Furstenberg followed her successful formula of mixing high-fashion concepts with relatable pieces: This spring, the theme is queen of the desert.

“Diane von Furstenberg can do no wrong,” said stylist Mary Alice Stephenson. “It’s always a perfect mix of what editors want — over the top, gold embellishment — but there’s also those little dresses that everyone wants.”

What will there be a clamor for? Perhaps the green macrame dress, or the gold bomber jacket. There’s also the tie-waist, draped lavender tiger chiffon dress and her standby wrap dress, this time offered in an orange print.

The sunset colors, including burnt yellow, orange and purple, as well as greens and blues, are in line with the dominant palette so far this Fashion Week, and the runway had the requisite not-too-perfect florals.

DKNY

Trees grow in Brooklyn and flowers grow in Greenwich Village, at least on the DKNY runway.

Donna Karan called her collection a “city garden party.” In this urban setting the florals aren’t all pretty and perfect, though. She favors prints for spring that are either a casual doodle or an exploding sequined peony.

The show kicked off with a black-and-white scribble-blossom skirt suit that was trim and fitted, one of several professional looks offered in this line that normally caters to a young woman’s time off. Karan, though, has been quite vocal in recent months about the tough business climate and has said she’s done what she can to adapt — maybe that includes getting almost 24/7 wear out of clothes.

Some of the best suits were tailored blazers with shorts and, don’t be scared, bright pink bike shorts that she called “Smoothies” underneath. True, not a look for everyone, but with the right attitude and figure, this was a modern twist on an old standby.

LELA ROSE

The skies cleared and it was like Lela Rose made it happen. Her spring collection was upbeat, wearable and, dare we say it, pretty.

She drew inspiration from the waves, surfers and scuba divers of Venice Beach, Calif., with colors borrowed from daybreak and sunset. There were a few pieces, including a green one-shoulder dress with rows of vertical blue laser-cut fabric, that mimicked the rolling tide.

Rose showed a knack for chic daytime dresses (actress Mariska Hargitay was wearing one in the front row). A sea-glass blue cotton dress with an open neck, drawstring waist and zip front would have been perfect on this Indian summer Sunday in New York.

Some designers have toned down the glitz as a nod to the recession. Not Carmen Marc Valvo.

Valvo’s spring 2010 collection was rooted in gold and shown at a cocktail party inside the NASDAQ building. The designer partnered with the World Gold Council and displayed the line on three separate jumbo-trons in Times Square.

Subtle, it was not.

But Valvo’s philosophy is that in ugly times, people want beautiful clothes. Glittery as it was, Valvo said his inspiration was modern armor for the urban jungle. Indeed, one of the highlights was a black chain-embroidered cocktail dress, a sort of elegant chain mail worn with a black metal organza trench.

Spring 2011 collection New York Fashion Weeks

New York Fashion Weeks are undoubtedly one of the major international fashion weeks. It is twice a year that this show opens its door to the world, one is with its Autumn or Winter collection and the second is with its Spring or Summer Collection.

This year saw the prominence of Asian American designers. Designers such as Phillip Lim, Derek Lam and Vera Wang were the most appreciated ones.
