Fall Fashion Trends 2009 – The Minidress

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

The minidress is one of those fashion pieces that is best left to a few, to be adored by many. The prevalence of the minidress on the Fall 2009 runways in unlikely to create a huge demand amongst the masses, but is likely to turn some heads on a busy Soho street.

Fall Fashion Trends 2009 – The Toggle Coat

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Put your toggle goggles on – and expect to see a glut of these bullet-shape fasteners on outerwear throughout the country. We adore the toggle coat because the styling of the toggles adds a sophisticated look to the most inexpensive (read: H&M) fashion items.

The skirt suit – a relic of generations past, or a must-have professional look for Fall 2009? For Alber Elbaz, the skirt suit isn’t some remnant of a bygone era, but a keystone in his Fall 2009 collection created for Lanvin. In a variety of dark shades, the 40s era skirt-suit is both glamorous and professional, and should see some play in the coming season.

Jean Paul Gautier’s Fall|Winter Collection – Paris Women’s Fashion Week 2009

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Jean Paul Gautier’s choice model was the talk of the town during the Paris Women’s Fashion Week 2009. The veteran designer stunned everyone, bringing the 51-year-old Inès de la Fressange out of retirement.

Fressange took the ramp in a figure-hugging black dress, much to the delight and cheer of the audience.

Gautier’s ready-to-wear Fall/Winter 2009-2010 collection featured fur-lined jackets and fishnet patterned accessories. The combinations were truly sensuous, with black netting vests peeping out of the casually worn fox and mink jackets. Metallic-gold ponchos and brown leather coats worn with fishnet-patterned belts and fishnet leggings proved to be another eye-opening combination.

Here are some photos from the runway:
