Halls Point of View – Top 10 Trends: THE LIST!
1. Mixed Media – the ultra-contemporary, fearless juxtaposition of disparate elements. (Heavy tweed/sheer blouse, soft dress/weighty boot.) Fashion as free expression, mixed media can pull from everything on THE LIST.
2. Own the Legacy – modern interpretations of fashion’s rich heritage. Grounded in the classics and celebrating the glories of what we already know and love, this trend encompasses iconic essentials, proper prep, retro fit & flare, equestrian panache. Colors: back-to-blacks, glamorous grey, coveted camel.
3. Menswear for her – textured tweeds, highland plaids, woodsy wools, pinstripe pantsuits, strong shoulders. Savvy, authoritative tailoring with a flourish of feminine touches (severe suit, frilly blouse).
4. Fly Girls – vintage aviator and military looks, army greens, distressed denim and utility details. (Bomber jackets, cargo pants…layering worn leather with hefty wool and chunky knits.)
5. Embrace Your Femininity – with vintage references: bows, beads, feathers, netting, lace. Ladified ruching, pintucking, pleats, tiered skirts, peplum jackets, ruffles everywhere - from blouses to handbags. You’ll find echoes of this in every trend.
6. Faking It – fab faux furs as you’ve never seen them. Vests, cardigans, capes…trimming collars, cuffs, sweaters, jackets, boots. Soft shearlings to long-haired pelts, street-sexy or ultra refined, faking it is hot this season.
7. It’s A Wrap – cozy chic! Envelop yourself in a warm, textural swath of sweater knits. Nordic to Fair Isle to artisanal crochets. Belted, layered, fine or chunky, knits this season go head to toe.
8. Leggings – essential under oversized sweaters for a full-over-skinny silhouette…bridging the gap between skirt and boot…creating an unbroken line to elongate and finish your look.
9. It’s All About The Boots! Across all trends, boots anchor the look, achieve the line. From ankle to thigh-high, flats to heels, 2010 is the season your shoes are most likely to be boots.
10. Making an Exit. Back details ensure you look as interesting leaving as you did arriving. Waist-defining pleats and gathers, futuristic cut-outs and sexy zippers, cascading ruffles, all say: Follow me!
