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.

Gucci Guilty

Guilty is the new fragrance by Gucci.
It's official launch is in the fall.
Evan Rachel Wood is featured in the ads.
This has been said about the fragrance:
"Gucci Guilty can be seen as a fairly convincing finishing touch for the pretty woman of 2010 who will even be able to use the sleek bottle as a purse mirror to retouch her lips. The fragrance's spokesperson Rachel Evan Wood is 23 and was selected as Frida Giannini made explicit to reach her age group as well as to project an image of sexiness. It is all clearly premeditated."

Will you be buying this?

In the meanwhile take a look at the ad campaign.





I think Evan is looking amazing..love the natural look and makeup.

Roberto Cavalli 40th anniversary






Roberto Cavalli celebrates the label’s 40th anniversary and has chosen the amazing Gisele Bundchen as the face of the Fall/Winter 2010-11 campaign. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott , make Gisele look fierce. Eva Cavalli said: “We chose to use Gisele again because she is part model, part celebrity, and she is very special. Celebrities tend to overshadow the clothes and are fine if they appear in a house’s campaign only once in a while. It’s easier to transform models, and I think they interpret the clothes better – especially the more seasoned ones. It’s not only a question of beauty, but of character.”
