Fall 2008 Trend Report

If Spring is all about the chunky bangles and bracelets, then Fall is going to be all about dramatic neckpieces! So prepare to accessorize and flaunt those collarbones while making your own individual statement.

L To R: Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten, Emanuel Ungaro, Givenchy

L To R: John Galliano, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent

Feels like ‘metallics’ have been around forever now, and this trend is surely going to continue well into Fall! Wear as much or as little but make sure you wear the ‘shimmer’ and not the other way around…

L To R: Celine, Mandira Wirk, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld

L TO R: Monisha Jaisingh, Miu Miu, Saab, Sonia Rykiel

So its an established fact that leggings have long been a Fall staple but while the Spring runways saw a smattering of color, it was nothing like what was seen on Fall runways. Red was a color that popped the most (among all other colors that we saw), along with the other strong contender, textured leggings…

Just when we were beginning to settle in with our Margaritas and high SPFs on that lounger… its time to start planning our Fall wardrobes. Sigh.

L To R: Bottega Veneta, Rahul Khanna And Rohit Gnadhi, Nitin Bal Chauhan, Zac Posen

L To R: Abhishek Gupta And Nandita Basu, Chanel, Kavita Bhartia, Nicole Miller

Tied And Dyed

None of us are strangers to ‘tie-dye’, but I shudder to think it can be worn the way Fergie did! For me it was way overdone and tacky but I do know of some people who think it was hippie-chic and that she pulled it off… I of course beg to differ, what do you all think?

I love the way Berardi did ‘tie-dye’ for Spring 08 ready to wear… now thats the way to do it! Love.

Its going to be all about chunky, heavy bangles, return of the ‘gladiators’ in all avatars, and ladies, sharpen that grip because ‘grab-bags’ are here!!
