When I see these looks I think, Oh to be British. They make me think of the WWI/WWII eras with a mixture of the medieval thrown in.
The single biggest influence in Fall 08 collections, is the 1940's. Plush furs, rich satins, structured and draped dresses and coats, and floaty skirts all hint at 40's glamour.
Louche luxe is the spirit of grunge meeting 1940's textiles for an undeniably modern, understated look. Waist emphasis is minimal, with a focus on layering and textural interest in silhouettes that are both slouchy and sleek.
Rock-Glam-Preppy looks in chic neutrals and funky accessories make up my wish list for fall.
From fur to skin. From real to faux. From felt to look. No matter what, fashion has never looked by chic. (I, personally, will never wear anything that has been alive. Just stating a trend. Go faux!)
