It’s nearing the middle of July and you know what that means. It
means the stores are finishes with their huge summer clearance sales and are bringing in the fall fashions. Some stores bring it all out at once (aka the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) while other stores gradually bring it out week after week until the store is ready for fall (aka American Eagle). Either way, fall fashion
is here and I couldn’t be happier. This spring during the Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear collections a few trends were obvious. Some were luxe fabrics such as velvet, leather, fur, feathers, satins, and croc, (who said a recession can’t be luxurious?) bright colors (neon), black and classic pieces. Also the accessories where big, bright, edgy, and pure glamour. I have to say the retro look was big this fall as designers drew inspiration from decades past such as the 80’s (Gucci) and the 60’s and 70’s (Giambattitsta Valli). By retro I don’t mean the same neon leggings of the 80’s or tie-dye
of the 60’s. No there is no such thing on these runways, the designers put their own twists on old pieces and trends to create looks completely modern and fabulous. Out of all the fabulous shows several stood out such as Gucci (all around great), Alexander McQueen(for the outrageous clown makeup), Balmain(for creating a show where there practically isn’t anything I wouldn’t wear), Hermes (gorgeous jackets), Lanvin (little black dresses), Yves St. Laurent (motorcycle jackets) and Balenciaga (every piece was stunning). If any one of these shows was any indication, this year’s fall fashion will be some of the best yet. So get ready for fall and back-to-school shopping, and to help know what trends to look for and which will be big for fall check back here at Runway2Hallway.
