Fall ‘08 Trend Report.

Finally, we can take a breather from all the Fashion Weeks, and sit back to figure out what the top trends/look for the Fall will be. From the Crystal knocker earrings, bows at Lanvin in Paris to the bows present on the other side of the continent at Thula Sindi in Africa.

HEAT HIT IT ♪

♪ Baby it’s cold outside:

It is indeed fall, except of course you are trying to freeze to death, you will be needing that coat stylish coat. As expected they were present in most of the collections, like:

Yves Saint Laurent did have you covered, literally. You could spot this trends presence at YSL in different cut patterns.

♪ Tie me up:

Zippers, Buttons could be such a drag sometimes – especially when you are in a rush, you either break the zipper or you are missing a button hole! There’s really nothing like just knotting your way out the door. Designers who understand sometimes we just need to get on the go are:

Thula Sindi sure knows how to get the ladies around those knots.

♪ Life in Plastic is fantastic:

Come on barbie, let’s go party. I couldn’t resist not completing the song, and it didn’t look like the designers could hold back as well. These designers played with uncoventional materials:

…and Clive Rundle just couldn’t help himself.

♪ I got my freakum dress on:

À la times of Audrey Hepburn - Little Black Dresses have been known to be the must-have staple in every womans closet - perfect for those unexpected nights out. But wait, there seems to be change of thought or could it be that black just remains the must have colour? Introducing the LONG Black dress aka LBD:

David Tlale took it home with his dazzling LBD.

♪ G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S:

Looking to get noticed 10 miles before you even arrive your said destination? Well, there’s enough colour to make you feel like you are still in Spring/Summer this Fall:

Gavin Rajah sees the rainbow…

With these selections you should have no problem picking your look for the fall.

We also couldn’t just leave you not ready for your close up.

♪ Lights, Camera, Action:

“I can’t imagine anything worse than putting on a perfect evening gown and ruining it by throwing on a cheap pashmina. If you’re going to go through the effort of finding the perfect dress, the perfect shoe, and perfect jewels, the only thing to complete the look is a fur stole.” – Nan Kempner.

Some of these perfect looks came to life with:

Alber Elbaz for Lanvin compliments the aforementioned quote in his Fall ‘08 collection.

Bisous, Wadami.
