Fashion Week 9/9/2010

 

Christian Siriano opened up with Fashion Week with a BANG showing  sexy metallic tweed dresses, turquoise and amber giraffe-printed silk separates, beautifully crafted leather pieces and twinkling Grace Kelly-elegant cocktail dresses draped with (for him) a restrained amount of chiffon."We were bringing in worlds from Africa...China, we had a bit of Mediterranean."

Project Runway keeps us guessing. Only three of the 10 designers who showed today are still in the running and lips are sealed tighter then the JFK files, but I’m guessing Mondo ,Gretchen, and April. But I have been wrong every year so we’ll see.

Fashion Trends For This Fall/Winter 2010

This is the year of the coat according to Trendstop.

Classic Aviator
The classic aviator shearling jacket becomes one of the biggest must have shapes of the season. Replacing the leather bomber as the cool cover up of choice, the more reference to traditional heritage details the better. You can contemporize the style with biker zips and multi buckles. Key colors are chocolate brown and tan with natural shearling.

School Girl Duffle
A true classic, the schoolgirl duffle coat continues to be a staple outerwear piece for winter. Mid-thigh length, traditional toggle fastenings with rope detailing in contrast color add a heritage feel to the shape. Heavy wools in neutrals look authentic while primary brights modernise the style.

Pared-down Varsity
Come out and join the team in these cheery favorites. Cut short and slim in mixes of nylon and wool. Stripped down to essentials like striped or tipped ribbing at waist, cuff and collar, contrast sleeves, and discreet logos. Contrast snaps, zips and welt pockets add interest.
