Fall Dressing

It's that time of year again! Here I take a look back at some of the trends of the fall 2013 collections.

 Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Chanel, Balenciaga, Celine

There was a huge focus on minimal colours this season. Black, white and grey were all over the runways. Having a wardrobe full of these colours would make for easy outfit-planning. Also in the monochrome trend were other neutral colours like navy and cream.

 Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Rochas, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior

Fall took Dior's New Look of the 1950's and gave it a modern twist. Luxurious fabrics formed A-line dresses and skirts. Trés chic.

 Prada, Marni, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Hermès

Whether in the form of a chubby jacket, cuffs or a stole, fur featured in many of the collections. Most of the fur came in shades of brown, but the birds-of-paradise at Fendi were decked out in a rainbow of colours. Regardless of colour, a  fur coat is definitely an investment for fall dressing.

Jil Sander, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Max Mara, Christopher Kane

Coats came in a variety of shapes, colours and textures for fall. The oversized silhouette, however, was a stand-out. A great way to add a masculine aspect to any outfit.

Daisy- The Sticker Edition

Now everyone's favourite perfume comes with stickers and a green lid. Leave it to Marc Jacobs to come up with something so cute (to go with something that was cute to begin with). Now you can not only smell pretty but have some stickers to play with too!
