Although some of my favorite looks below were eclipsed by more prominent trends during Paris Fashion Week, I predict the following will have an impact on Ready-to-Wear over the next couple seasons:
THE DUSTER. Nothing says modern glamour more than a high drama jacket that does double duty as a practical layering piece. Dusters ARE swagger period.
Dustered at Yohji Yamamoto, Hermes, and Yves Saint Laurent S/S 2010 RTW
ORIGAMI SHAPES. Pointed origami and V-shapes are refreshingly SHARP.
Getting the Point at Rick Owens, Maison Martin Margiela, and Miu Miu S/S 2010 RTW
DOLL PARTS. Doll-like influences are eerily cool and are ALWAYS welcome in my book.
All Dolled-Up at Givenchy and Wunderkind S/S 2010 RTW
OUT OF AFRICA. African inspired silhouettes and prints are going to be a BIG deal come next spring.
African Rules at Kenzo S/S 2010 RTW
CAMOUFLAGE COMEBACK. It comes and it goes and yes, although camouflage has left the building, it is coming back soon, VERY soon.
Colorful Camo at Louis Vuitton S/S 2010 RTW
