Fall Trends 2008: Vintage is Back!

All women want to know what is going to be “in” for the next season. They want to start preparing their closets to look as fabulous as possible. Well Ladies, be exited because lots of things are making a “comeback” for the next season. It is all about reviving the old Hollywood glamour. So maybe you want to go to the basement to look for some vintage clothes that you may have kept from grandma. This season, it is all about vintage.

Many designers like Channel and Ives Saint Lauren, revived the concept from the 1940’s of accentuating curves. They focused on having very well sculptured pieces that focus on the waist area, accentuating the curves of the female body. This is a great trend for regular women, because these pieces accentuate their curves.

Carolina Herrera and Michel Kors showed layers of tweed and fur. This shows that the tweed from the 1960’s is back!

Another place where designers seemed to be getting inspiration from, were the 1920’s. Diane von Furstenberg, Baby Phat and Monique Lhuilier all showed some sort of flapper inspired dress in their collection.

The 50’s are also making a comeback. Kitten Heels, length knee silk shifts, cashmere coats and pastel coats are all back on the collections showed by Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg and Peter Som.

Designers like Charlotte Ronson and Thakoon Panichgul used crisscross patterns, accentuating them with watercolor washes and punk accessories.

Bows are definitely in. They can be pretty much located anywhere in your outfit. The size varies from tiny to huge. Instead of wearing a necklace try wearing a bow instead. This can give your outfit that extra touch that just makes it more interesting. Another item that was seen accentuating outfits were either ruffles or rosettes. Shirts with ruffles are totally “in” this season.

Knits are a must this fall. After all, you do have to keep yourself warm. Sculptural and oversize knits are replacing in some cases the classic wool coat. If you are wondering what you should wear to a cocktail, wedding or important event then you need to know that the gowns for this season are more conservative and proper. There are many one shoulder designs out there, like the ones by Sari Gueron and Tracy Reese. The gowns seem to revive the old Hollywood glamour
