Fall 2006 Trend Report


Dark elegance, luxurious texture and lady-like lines graced the runways for fall 2006. The traditional shades of black and gray were well represented, yet beautifully supported by bursts of bolds and touches of shine. Designers embraced the 30s refinement, 60s modernism and 80s sparkle for an array of shapes and details. Necklines rise and fall, sleeves and hemlines are incredibly comprehensive while cute buttons, big buttons and charming buttons adorn from top to bottom. The dress prevails styled into updated school-girl jumpers to mini mod numbers in lace to powerful prints. You wont be able to wait to wear all these fabulous frocks!

 

Go Chunky


Knits are huge- and we are talking size here! Sweaters have gone to the chunky and long side to keep you warm this fall. Adorned with toggles, big buttons and fur, you will wrap them around your favorite dresses for a complete autumn look.


 

Jump for Joy!


It is school girl glammed up for the runway. The jumper is a must have this fall with its endless options for layering. Jump from work to a night on the town in Tracy Reeses black zip up or enjoy a weekend in Jill Stuarts gray corduroy paired with a high boot and opaque tights.


 

Attention All Sleeves!


You will gather and pouf around shoulders, flutter down forearms and bubble around wrists to make a statement all on your own. And that they do- sleeves in all shapes and styles creating perfect details to win us over. They are so cute you wont want to cover them with a coat!


 

Shimmer and Shine


And that warm shine continues into the cooler months. No need for a full metallic blast, instead designers subtly weaved sparkle throughout garments to create a soft yet sexy sheen. For the girls who still want their bling, sequins combined with satin and sheer georgette get you ready for that fabulous evening.


 

Minidress Madness


Mary Quants revolutionary minidress has resurfaced on the runway with its traditional tunic-like and bodice-less smocks in delicate lace and flowing fabrics. Details of woven necklines, perfectly pretty collars and oh-so-fun pockets will take you back to the mod Swinging London times!


 

Bold and Beautiful


With a season that is draped in darkness, we are refreshed to see shots of sapphire blue and pops of marvelous magentaor let colors coalesce as Anna Sui does with her divine dresses. Have fun and let bright colors and bold prints accessorize you this fall!


 

Waisting Away


No, this isnt another story about Hollywood actresses! Striding down every designers runway was the amazing attention paid to the waist. This fall we want to belt them, raise them high and flaunt them with details and more details. The emphasis is so important that belts have been built right into dresses and sweaters- no need for extra accessories!


 

Gorgeous Grays


Soften up with shades of heather gray this season. It is the one color that encompasses coziness and comfort while still remaining glamorous. Not to mention it looks great on everyone.
