Fashion Trends Fall Winter 2008-2009

Trend: Lady Chic
This season knee-length pencil-skirts, casual dresses that emphasize waist, vaporous chemises, tailored jackets are must-haves! Soft colors used at Marni's or Missoni's are very fashionable this season. Pink, caramel, vernal, turquoise... the color palette is delicious!

Trend: In the Army
Buttons, epaulettes, badges, medals; all these motifs are in great demand! Choose a high-rank costume, as at Givenchy's, or opt for a khaki wool-coat as at Aquascutum. Another original look is to mix a military jacket with tight patent leather pants or leggings - see Collette Dinningan's.

Trend: Architectural Shapes
Clear lines, severe appearance or architectonic and sculpted shapes assure you an ultra-modern look in an instant. Metallic accents point out the daring cuts. If you're bold enough to pull this look off, purchase yourself a coat with a "strange" collar, just like the one at Jil Sander's collection. You won't be sorry - you won't pass unnoticed!

Trend: Neo-Masculine
The look à la Greta Garbo is more IN then ever! Opt for different looks: white suit with a superb cut like at Salvatore Ferragamo, a playful look inspired by Sonia Rykiel or a more masculine, sober approach, just like Karl Lagerfeld is suggesting.
