Trends from Fashion Week
Buyer's Trends:
Rich color versus last fall, which was quite somber. I loved the accents of red and the new hunter green. There was newness in layering, the skinny pants, leggings, knit dressing and the winter short.
I see a couple of different camps emerging, street chic and great dresses and more day options. The jumper is a really strong trend but there are plenty of long-sleeved dresses too. I love the fact that the skinny jean pants and leggings have emerged. It's going to be a great season to buy a leather jacket.
The play on proportions, long and lean, versus voluminous shapes and bubbles. There's a return to very tailored men's wear dressing. What makes it wonderful are all of the incredibly romantic blouses out there. Leggings are a big trend of the season. We're seeing them under skirts of all lengths and even under eveningwear.
Leggings, sweater coats, jumper dresses, jersey dresses, flyaway coats and jackets and lots of plaid and herringbone.
The waist is important. We're starting to see an emergence of the maxi. There were a lot of architectural elements, balloon bell sleeves and lots of folding. It almost reminds me of Frank Gehry. This is going to be the year of the blouse. Muses for the fall season included Maggie Gyllenhaal in the movie "Secretary," Lauren Bacall from the Forties, but without the exaggerated shoulders, and Ali MacGraw at Michael Kors.
