I have great confidence in Autumn-Winter 2010 trends and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the designer looks replicated on the High Street.
Why the unabashed enthusiasm? Well, the reason is that the trends this season are very diverse, unlike last year’s 80s overload for example. No matter whether you are a classic, romantic, rebellious or vintage dresser, you’re bound to find something that appeals to you.
Here are my Top 5 Key Looks:
- Minimalism: This is a back-to-basics trend, incorporating classic, exquisitely-cut pieces with a timeless quality.
- 1950s: Just picture the fabulous ‘dance hall’ scene in the film musical Grease, and I’m sure you’ll appreciate why Fashion is showing a fancy for wide, full-circle skirts! You’ll also notice 1950s aviation chic hitting the high street soon (think Katherine Hepburn – wide-leg trousers, buttoned up shirts, flying jackets etc).
- Alpine: This ‘Christmas Card Chic’ look embraces all things cozy. Alpine influences such as chunky cable knits, shearling/sheepskin jackets and gilets, leg warmers, fur-lined boots and leather accessories are everywhere this season.
- Grunge: Noughties grunge is a lot more glam than the original nineties grunge. You could almost call it ‘glunge’! The fabrics are soft and luxurious (silk, velvet, cashmere etc.), however the look is hardened with deliberate clashing e.g. an oversized jumper paired with a long, elegant skirt. Muted colours, biker boots, studded jewellery and a hefty dollop of attitude complete this look.
- Romance: Romance has carried over from last season. Look out for whimsical frills, flounces, ruffles and bows.
1950s style is on trend for AW10
I will do separate posts soon on key wardrobe pieces, plus hair and make-up looks for this season.
Yours in style,
