Fall 2010 Trends Pt3: Velvet

Trends: Fall 2010 pt 2: Fifties and retro dressing

Take cue from Mad Men as the runways were filled with midi full skirts and body hugging tops in a retro 50s style. This look can be modernized by adding sharp tailored jackets a la Dries Van Noten or accessorized in a modern way. We also saw corset body hugging dresses that emphasize the curves in Marilyn Monroe style at the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Nina Ricci. At Isabel Marant, models were sent in capri rolled up jeans modernized by adding sharp shoulders or casual sweaters.

Trends : Fall 2010 pt.1 RED LEATHER

Leather Pants and leggings have been going on for sometime, but this season designers introduced them in the season's hottest colour: RED! Seen on the runways of Balmain and Isabel Marant; Red leather pants are a must have for fall 2010. If done right, this look can be super edgy and classy.
