Variety of trends
The way a person dresses can speak volumes about their personality. From modern to retro, and from mainstream to custom, your garb has long been said to be an extension of your way of life. And every season
designers create their masterpieces based on a number of trends. So what is trending for the Autumn 2011 into Winter 2012?
- Midi and Maxi skirts: Miniskirts are always popular. But for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 you better embrace the longer length skirts. Find midis and maxis in Dries Van Noten, Chloe, Balenciaga, Roland Mouret, Antonio Marras, St.John and other designer collections.
- Brown Leather Purse: it is a must this year. It will give you a very elegant look.
- Tight jacket: you can wear it with jeans or with an elegant dress. We saw it in collections like: Giorgio Armani, Paul Smith and Salvatore Ferragamo.
- The variety of prints in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections is huge: from tiny polka dots in Gucci and broken glass in Stella McCartney to girly paisley in Anna Sui and bold flowers in Versace. You just need to understand what print you want because you can have everything.
- Fur: it is the perfect material for winter. And it looks chic, too.
- Sheer trend isn’t the wisest for fall and winter but it is still popular. Best sheer dresses, skirts and blouses are in Christian Dior, Gucci, Alexander Wang, Mugler, Blumarine and Michael Kors collections
