i thought there was a f/w trend thread....oh well
what i see, is still a lot of commotion around the waist

- obviosly a very dark season overall, but not like it's a new thing. a more thought out version of "gothic" than last fall
- more man/woman garments: boyish pants (and shorts), jackets, sweaters.

if we're talking in vogue-says-this-is-in terms then fur and leggings.


..i think this season in retail we'll finally see people getting comfortable with things like wide-leg pants and cleaner clothes, and hopefully less cutesy peter pan collars, fur trims, and jewels. retailers have so strongly latched onto them 5 seasons ago because they sell so well, but obviously there is a limit.

A random designer designign A/W collections: " Hmm...I seem to be running out of ideas...Oh well, let's put fur there."

Based on the kickoff week in New York, Fall 2006 looks to be a voluminous, fabric-filled season of dark - almost depressing - shades of grey, black & white. Only accents of eggplant/bordeux, muted/heathered teal, and the odd lemon yellow, fuschia, purple and lipstick red will keep things from really heading over to the dark side. Accessories-wise, put the bling away, and opt for makeup that looks like you're wearing none...other than the odd fuschia or red lip if you're an especially determined & intrepid fashionista. Fortunately, this is a great season for dramatic leather gloves, especially skin-tight & elbow-length.

CLOTHING TRENDS:

• Protective Beefy knits, capes & layers galore at Marc Jacobs and Max Azria. For a more elegant take, Doo.ri showed oversized, yet elegant, silhouettes crafted from bias-cut menswear suiting. (Marc Jacobs)
• Costume Want to be mistaken for an extra in a period piece? This is your season. From Alice Roi's naughty French fille, to Tuleh's 40s film noir vamp, to Heatherette's New York street performer/club denizen, there were also dishelleved milkmaids at Afshin Feiz, mid-century stewardesses at Baby Phat, and even a full-on Dynasty/80s promdress moment at Venexiana. (Tuleh)
• Contemporary Socialite For the uptown Global Chic crowd, the usual suspects - J. Mendel, Carolina Herrera, Peter Som, Derek Lam, and an incredibly fresh Bill Blass - delivered with the expected: chic little day dresses & matching coats, slim suits, cocktail gear, and of course, red carpet & black tie attire. For the downtown social set, up-and-comer's like Thakoon, Temperley London, Luella Bartley and L.A.M.B.-designer Zaldy offered up multi-tasking, wearable frocks, zippered jumpsuits, oversized knits, and ruffled, drapey gorgeousness. (Bill Blass; Thakoon)

SILHOUETTES, ACCESSORIES, HAIR/MAKE-UP:

• layers, layers & yet more layers (Max Azria)
• oversize carpet bags, shoulder hobos & chic croc/alligator clutches - a clutch for day? absolutely!
• tulip/bubble shape in everything from skirts to dresses, coats & even shorts (ThreeAsFour)
• belting at the empire (just below the bustline), way above the natural waist (Vera Wang)
• 3/4 cropped sleeve(often a leg o' mutton or exaggered tulip shape) elbow length leather gloves - with or without fingers (Doo.Ri)
• soft ruffles & bows (Peter Som)
• Loubies - aka Christian Louboutins, those fashion insider kicks with the trademark red sole
• hats - from Annie Hall to Inspector Clouseau to Anna Karenina to a flat knitted pancake (Marc by Marc Jacobs)
• slicked back messy buns, 'boufs & up-do's
• "non-makeup" makeup with pale to dead-looking lips (Peter Som)
• and a surprising - and sad -lack of bling...including necks, wrists & earlobes (J. Mendel)

PREDOMINANT "COLOR" PALETTE:

• grey - in every shade imaginable (Bill Blass)
• black
• white/ivory/bone

I thought this was a good roundup of the fall/winter trends. And I am liking what I'm seeing

-Black
-A lot of Fur to make you look like a bear.
-90's minmalism
-Flashes of bright colors
-Hat's
-Boot's
-and did I mention fur?

 

[Halcyon]

I think we're looking at a completly different silhouette. Past seasons have been defined by a type of overtly feminin retroness that put alot of emphasis on the waist. It seems that the silhouette will now be a very clean, very skinny black line. Super skinny pants or mini skirts/dresses worn over leggings. Also lots of darker colors.

 

[JJohnson]

I loved the music, the fur was ok, McQueen was nice LV was bad!

 

[Djavanjmiles]

-The grudge look of the 90's.......Kurt corbain must be on everyone's mind.
-Dark colors.
-It Bag's and shoe's.
-puffy silhoette's
-Oh, and fur.......and careless use of it......cuz it doesn't matter how many animal's you kill........It just matter's just to see who can wear the most pelt's!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tushka_BeLLa]

Lots of Black and opaque tights in navy and black

 

[mishahoi]

recipe for A/W 07
1:take a tartan check kilt
2:make a micromini dress
3:add some thick leggings
4:slap on an animal pelt

mix and simmer for 30 minutes

voila!

 

[tricotineacetat]

- Androgynous pantsuits, either way, very close to the body or loosely fitted.
- Shorts of all lengths
- Colours: Ink Blue, Dark Indigo (generally, blue as the new black), Violets, all shades of Grey, Black. gold/copper stays as an accent for metallics. I also saw occassional shots of bright red EVERYWHERE.
- Bubble skirts and peplum shapes remain in the repertoire of many designers, although they will look less puffy/80ies inspired. Thank god!
- All sorts of interpretations of classic Christobal Balenciaga tailoring.

 

[Street_a_Licious]

It's like, total shapeless-ness!!!

I'm rooting for a return to semi-glamorous in the next few seasons. What's up with all that minimalism? The glamour just started!

I will still send my female friends out with crazy masks, winged hats and several pound heavy head garments though. Not to mention dirty potato bags!

 

[Kimkhuu]

Thanks for posting that Avant Garde!

"Lack of bling", loving it...!
