THE LATEST TRENDS

WITH the autumn/winter 2004-5 collections drawing to a close in Paris this week, there are already plenty of strong looks to think about for the new season. Here are ten of the top trends that have flown off the catwalk in the last month:

1. PRINT: Summer's obsession with print is bound to last after the sun goes in. And with plenty of florals and bold graphic designs about, it was only a matter of time before they developed into wild animal skin prints.
Seen at Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Jonathan Saunders, Eley Kishimoto, YSL Rive Gauche, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Dior, Missoni, Pucci, Marni, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

2. AUTUMNAL COLOURS: The greenery that took hold at the summer collections makes way for plenty of rich, wintery colours for the new season, from blood red to bottle green, punctuated with a range of browns and navy. ( what about the greys out there?)
Seen at: Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Stella McCartney, Boyd and YSL Rive Gauche.

3.TWEED: Make sure you have plenty of plaid in your wardrobe next winter.
Seen at: Anna Sui, Oscar de la Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier, Haider Ackermann, Miu Miu, Versace, Nicole Farhi, Julien Macdonald, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton.

4. CAPES: A handful of designers try them every season, but this time they might just take off.
Seen at: Helmut Lang, Emanuel Ungaro, Celine, Missoni, Emma Cook and Ralph Rucci Chado.

5. LADYLIKE DRESSING: Knee-length dresses and high-neck blouses gave a prim new silhouette for winter.
Seen at: Marc Jacobs, Prada, Narciso Rodriguez, Clements Ribeiro, Giles Deacon, Andrew Gn and Betty Jackson.

6. RETRO STYLING: Hippy chic was just one of a number of vintage elements seen on the catwalk. Twenties flapper dresses will also remain a wardrobe staple for the new season.
Seen at: John Galliano, Paul Smith, Clements Ribeiro and Kenneth Cole.

7. FUR: Fake or real, like it or not, it was everywhere: from Tom Ford's fur lined catwalk at Gucci to Macdonald's bulging fur wraps, it was this season's biggest talking point.
Seen at: Marni, YSL Rive Gauche, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alberta Ferretti and Pringle.

8. BOY/GIRL: The masculine-feminine divide is closing up, with girls in suits or their boyfriend's slouchy cardis and boys in bouclι.
Seen at: Valentino, Miu Miu, Chanel, Chloe, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, YSL Rive Gauche and Y's Yohji Yamamoto.

9. PEACOATS: If the fur that ruled the catwalk this season just isn't your thing, cover up with a peacoat when the temperature drops.
Seen at: , Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney.

10. BOWS: The ultimate in girly detailing, bows appeared everywhere from waists, bags, necks and shoulders to hair and shoes.
Seen at: Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, Celine, Fendi, Giles Deacon and Temperley. + Lanvin

MORE TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR: Biba dresses, leather jackets (biker and trenches), the mac shorts and tights (done and over with) pedal-pushers and leggings. Yes, they are back... (i think legging were back THIS ending winter 03.04 )

HIGHER WAISTELINES !!!

i have not seen any low hip huggers for FALL04....

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this trend. I was getting so sick of seeing the waistlines getting lower & lower. I hate those plumber crack jeans!

I deffinately want a pair of highwaist black trousers & a pair of the Chloe highwaist jeans.

~ Flowing, feminine silhouettes (not liking this one)
~ Fresh, wholesome makeup
~ The tattooed tights (like at Dior and Lacroix)
~ Interesting necklines
~ New ways of using fur
~ Colors!
~ Spectator shoes
~ The suit look

That's my take on it all, folks..

There have been some amazing stylists behind some of the designer's runway shows this year.

agreed!

does anyone know who's styling what? i'd really like to know whose doing prada...

the only one i know is that alex white is styling loius vuitton...looking forward to seeing what she does...she's my fave

maybe we need a new topic for this? [/b][/quote]

The stylist of Prada (and Mui Mui) is Katie Grand - I think this was her 5th Season there

 

[softgrey]

thanks fashionaddict1...that was a beautifully styled show...the last few seasons have been outstanding...i never would have guessed it was katie...

I know - quite mellow for her - but very good all the same - I read she also styles the Vuitton campaign - which I guess is much more her style - Busy girl . . .

that seems odd-why wouldn't alex white style the ads if she styled the show...i guess she must be busy with her new post at W...


the other trend that i feel is more of an overall direction in fashion is comfort and ease....and i say it's about time...
