"Drama Club." Dramatic embellishments. 1990's style. Devilish themes. Jeremy Scott hit the nail on the head with his ode to the 90’s in his F/W ’12 collection (He displayed colors and a pattern resembling our old Lisa Frank school supplies from elementary school, emoticon and windows 98 inspired details, and many other 1990’s inspired elements). The 90’s theme is running ramped in street-wear this season. 90’s denim skirts and jackets, along with unique silhouettes and platform shoes made famous in our favorite 90’s teen movies like Jawbreaker , Clueless and Spiceworld are now seen on hip and trendy 20-somethings. Even Varsity jackets and prep school style are making comebacks. Our Gen Y trendsetters are obviously in control and reminiscing through their attire. Let’s face it we’ve missed wrapping our sweaters around our waists… oh, yeah. That’s back. A trend that is making just a tiny ripple in street-wear, but still enough to mention is occult inspired st...

"Suit Up!" Two-piece suits. Military structure. Over-sized outerwear. Minimalism and structure are key elements in F/W ‘12 fashion. Two piece suits inspired by the 1960’s for men and 1980’s career girls for women are very popular this season. Structured blazers or sports coat paired with a wider pant leg seems to be a hot trend in New York and LA, but in European cities like London or Paris, a balanced figure for the two piece suit look is more popular. A posh, country-club-like theme seems to be all the rage in many boutiques pre-fall fashions, but it is the structured military inspired fashion that is flying off the shelves. Neru collars, long sleeves, pockets, broad shoulders and dusty colors are the most seen features of this trend on and off the runway. For winter, roomy, over-sized silhouettes in outerwear will be a popular trend among the more fashionable crowd. Seen in street-wear, sportswear and evening wear in all the magazines and fashion ...

"Golden Age."  Gold, Waxy Leather and Velvet. Strong Colors and Bold Textures.  It’s actually rare that color plays such a large role in fashion during the fall and winter seasons. But, this year we trade in our neutrals and drab color for a more dramatic, almost shocking palette. Deep scarlet, navy and emerald are typical fall and winter colors seen in sportswear or evening wear. But, some fun, softer tones in street-wear are still lingering from summer looks. The main color for this season is gold. Whether its embroidered embellishments, baroque-inspired hardware, or glittering gowns, metallic and shiny textures will have starring roles in fall trends, and gold will be the lead. Leather is always a great way to make an outfit more edgy or sexy. Layering the different leather textures was a huge part of fall and winter looks on the runway earlier this year, and that trend may very well make a splash in major cities’ streetstyle. The most popular color an...
