What Goes Around, Comes Around

Hello 1970! The extremes of that decade are back and better then ever. Bell bottoms, bright colors, jumpsuits, maxi dresses, prints, fur, pant suits, sky high platforms, ponchos, and great trousers! It started with a small splash during fashion week-fall 2010 (see Phillip Lim Fall 2010 below), which carried into spring and summer 2011 and now the 70′s inspired looks for fall 2011 we saw during fashion week are filling the store floors. Here are some of my favs from the runway:

Mix and Match Fall Separates

One of the reasons I LOVE fall/winter is all the textures and layers that you can add into your outfits. Especially because this year separates are back, there are so many opportunities to mix in these fun fabrics! Last year started the incorporation of leather, lace and fur but this year it has really taken off. The femininity and elegance of lace, toughened up with the rocker, downtown city girl in leather and the boho luxuriousness of fur is one of my favorite looks! Add in a chunky knit, silk blouse and a corduroy bell bottom pant and your closet is set! These are outfits I can’t wait to put together!!!

This look from Theory is the perfect example of combining these textures. The Black leather pant, the fox fur coat, and a mohair sweater- a long sleeved lace top would also look to DIE under this coat!

Alexander McQueen’s plaid statement jacket with a removable vest, paired with his tuxedo shirt and Victoria Beckham’s rocker zipper jean shows the art of layering.

Elizabeth and James did an AMAZING fur poncho coat, with a stretch leather pant and a rich rust colored silk top called the “Paris Popover” love the color and fabric combination!

Theory from head to toe featuring 3 major fall trends: the bell bottom corduroy, the knit sweater and the fur vest. GREAT look, effortless style!
