Fall/Winter 2010/2011 fashion trends. (continued)

After posting all these ad campaigns and images I thought that a written essay type fashion report might help.


Styles that are "in" this season:
Military, '50s '70s, minimalist, androgynous this aims to reflect the woman's versatility and pragmatism.



Best words that can be used to describe these trends:practicality, versatility, and moderation.It's all about wearable items and tempered colors.
Approaches that really stand out: military style, the '50s and the '70s style, or the masculine look.
Here are the main fashion trends for F.W 2010/2011.


The military style means,chic.If there is one piece to invest in that is the aviator jacket made from leather or shearling, and inspired by the aviators from the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
Military coats,the aviator jacket,golden buttons,emphasized shoulders,pants and boots, khaki and green are some of the main elements of the military style seen on the catwalks at Burberry Prorsum, MaxMara, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Dries Van Noten, and Etro.



'50s. Fashion keeps re-inventing itself in a cyclic motion.
Some elements inspired from the '50s have come back in today's fashion trends. For fall/winter 2010-2011,we can see:
skirts and dresses, below the knee, A-line skirts, emphasized waist,long gloves, square-toed, block-heeled pumps trimmed with flat bows, and the doctor's bag.
These are the basic elements specific to the '50s that were spotted at Louis Vuitton or Marc Jacobs. Also, at Prada, one can see the '50s dresses at Alexander Wang, the disco approach was observed.

'70s .
The '70s is perceived as one of the most chic eras of all times.
Flared pants, breezy shirts and blouses, long dresses, and autumnal colors are the main elements reflecting a '70s approach. For fall/winter 2010-2011, the '70s style was spotted at Chloé, Balmain, Gianfranco Ferré, and Gucci.




Minimalist style is described by simple, yet very chic clothes, with clear lines, without embellishments. The fabrics used are high-quality ones, while the colors are plain, sober ones, such as white, black, gray, beige, and navy blue. Simple, yet very sophisticated lines were spotted at Stella McCartney who presented tailored suits and jackets in an amazing minimalist approach. Also, Phoebe Philo from Céline used special fabrics, emphasizing their beauty and luxury through minimalism, while at Gucci, the mixture between minimalism and over-refined elements had as result a sophisticated collection.





Best investments for fall/winter 2010-2011 are:
a wool cape, fur or tweed, an aviator jacket, a minimalist dress, a military coat, a long skirt, a '50 dress, flared pants. As for the shoes:thigh-high boots and mountain boots but also high-heeled moccasins, pointed-toe shoes, and a pair of furry boots. When it comes to accessories, a pair of socks, made of wool and worn with moccasins, a hat, a doctor's bag, furry or knitted bags, a belt, and long gloves represent some of the most trendy elements.


Hope this helps you fashionistas out there.
