There’s plenty of bold and sleek elegance in store for fashionistas this fall. Ken Downing, fashion director for Neiman Marcus, offers one haute new trend for every day of the week and acknowledges that “ideas hinted at in Spring 2008 collections have developed into this season’s most important themes.”
1 STATEMENT JEWELRYBright and bold! Statement jewelry brings polish and glamour to the season. Estate inspired, Art Deco influenced, statement jewelry looks new when worn in matched suits for day and evening.
2 LACEThe romantic mood of the season is defined by the importance of lace in every collection. Feminine and modern, lace is chic in the linear silhouette that’s appeared on many runways and becomes the perfect finishing touch to handbags and shoes.
3 ROMANTIC BLOUSES The romantic blouse is the perfect juxtaposition to the menswear-inspired fabrics and tailoring that emerged as an important trend for fall. Lace, printed chiffons, and organzas, often with a ruffle or flounce, balance the tug-of-war between masculine and feminine.
4 SATINFill your fall wardrobe with the shimmer and shine of satin, in a jewel box of colors. Satin is perfect for day and evening.
5 BERRY COLORSColor filled the runways for Fall 2008. Deep purples to bright magenta create a berry color palette of saturated shades.
6 HIGH-VAMP SHOESThe shoe of choice on every catwalk is the high-vamp shoes. High-vamp shoes look terrific with a colored tight.
7 SLEEK SHAPESClose to the body with a modern sensuality, sleek shapes are the message of the season, in dresses, longer jackets and sexy pencil skirts.
