There were vintage inspirations all over the fall runways and if spring had been a futuristic, neon colored bright package, the Autumn comes in shades of dark maroon, greys and browns. There are peplums everywhere, and polka dotted dress is no longer a passé, all lurex clad and shimmering with glamour ( Marc Jacobs). Also seen in a classic come back, are knife pleats, in skirts, dresses and tunics.
Rocker chic and Goth influences seem to rule the look book for fall, with pieces such as, the pleated trouser, shift dress, high waist skirt all in shades of shimmer and leather. Classic cuts make a twist and even velvet and eyelet embroidery gets a fresh look.
Also loving the total comfort over heels scenario, so many shows had fab flat shoes and boots. Even though, if just to fit the theme, these flats soles will get picked up by street fashion soon enough.
