COME TOGETHER
In a world so divided, fashion Comes Together to reunite and reinvent. Acceptance of all elements of thought, feeling and personal histories are apparent in this trend. With a blending of all fashion concepts, anything goes. Merging schools of thought provides fashion with a fresh point of view, as seen through the fusing of infinite color, and a wealth of pattern and texture. Self-expression is evident, making a statement about the future of fashion in an ever-changing world. With a mélange of berries, plaids and folk-rock chic fashions, an abundance of options Come Together in a stylish melting pot.
WILD BERRIES
Take a bite out of life with the wide spectrum of hues from the berry family. With a mixture of sweet and tart, apparel has a fresh flavor for fall. Emerging with a sense of femininity, berries have replaced the gloomy greys and blacks of the season. Get sweet on all these luscious, freshly picked shades that include eggplant, wine, blackberry, burgundy, plum, beet, raisin and raspberry. Purple has emerged as the color of choice for knit tops with volume, blouses, shifts and sheaths, trench coats and tailored suiting. Prints and fabrics like lace, wool tweeds, velvet, jacquards and paisleys play an important part, adding depth to this fashion landscape.
CITY FOLK
With its roots in traditional folk elements stemming from Eastern Europe, City Folk fuses luxury elements and a rock-chic attitude. All pieces follow a natural trend with earthy hues, ethnic textures, such as paisleys and mosaic patterns, and nature-mimicking prints. Macrame brocades, lace and crochet mixed with embroidery, tassels and mongolian lamb fur, add a touch of luxury to this look. A sense of balance is necessary, and achieved by layering and mixing colors, patterns, and materials, while keeping an overall balance in mind. Standout silhouettes include tie-neck ruffled blouses, vintage denim, peasant tunics, jumpers, maxis, minis and vests.
FOREVER PLAID
Prep school plaid passes the test as fall brings back the reinvented classic in unexpected ways. From macro to mini, and pink to purple, mixing of scale and color puts a spin on the traditional tartan. With a touch of modern glamour, crossing the line from your ordinary flannel shirt into capes, trench coats, pantsuits and tie-neck ruffle blouses is effortless.
