Fall/Winter 08.09 Trend Forecast

[Dkammern]

Definetly not with jeans... but well styled i love the paper-bag effect on womenswear! (i think ive seen Carine Roitfeld pulling that off quite well)


for jeans i WISH we dont go back to baggy, and the skinny keeps going on for a little more time... i just CANT find trousers that fit me (i am way to thin for wide leg)

I am seeing more and more of the slightly higher rised jeans with a wide leg. I am 5'7" and never thought they'd look good on me but they actually do - they make you look taller and slim!

Well so far menswear it looks like electric royal blue , and then a Serge Gainsbourg influence see YSL polo necks and suit jackets , and florals as well.

Bootleg at YSL and Burberry for men too.

ok i read about the menswear for a/w 08 09 a while back
i remember some mentioning of "shirting as light as snow"
so , basically lightweight fabrics

here are some recurring points for trends that i jotted down via premiere vision
it's all on fabrics, but that should give you some ideas for the kind of garment you will be seeing!

menswear
autumn winter 08 09

colours: red kiss, meteorite, mauve smoke, oxblood, creme cassis, sidereal, ink, humus, turtledove,

aspects: plastic & metallic, structures, semi-transparency
also: stripes on weaves
tennis, banker styles
Prince of Wales

behaviours & handles: intentional firmness
also round, compact, springy, draping

finishing: shine whether smooth, plastic or scintillating
also: water-resistance for woollens

referring to my old post from 2nd page...
let's see how true those predictions were

let's translate to english those colours...
reds, greys, greyed purples, dark red, soft browns/tans/beiges/etc, dark shades close to black, sea green
i would say colours are right?
the colours, there was a lot @ Missoni.. all of these points
the rest of the collections go with the rest of the colours

the aspects
there was certainly a lot of shine (metallic as in prada and bruno pieters)
structure... you have stand-up collars and draping over the body (ie. damir doma, bottega veneta)
tons of pleated pants @ dior homme
almost transparent... this must be the nudes @ Prada
roundness and springy... lots of heavy textured knits (lace and texture knits @ burberry, texture knits @ galliano + gaspard yurkievich)
round silhouettes @ jil sander...

by the way
another thing:
ecological approaches..

recycled polyesters
recycled wool

okay part 2

patchwork wool knits at dolce & gabbana

men.style |

Even if it's not really recycled wool^ it has the idea of being recycled
through patchwork
pieces from old ready-made fabrics

.
Here perhaps reusing wool yarns to create fur-like material
