Fall fashion trend predictions for what to expect on the New York runways this week
Trend forecaster Stylesight share fashion predictions.Pre-fall is a pretty good barometer of what will be full-out fashion on the fall runways. Combine that with industry intuitiveness, a bit of fashion prescience, and maybe a crystal ball and you think you have an idea of what designers will be showing on the catwalks.
Stylesight’s forecasting experts— yes, we know it is a dream job- have been deep in observation about what trends we’ll see storming the NY, Paris, London and Milan runways during F/W 10 Fashion Week. They’ve gathered a few ideas of what we can expect from the designers. Let’s see how they fare.
Pre-Fall Inspiration: Jason Wu (pictured above), Pringle
"There is a movement away from pattern mixing and novelty, toward clothes that can be worn again and again. More of a cleaner, more timeless approach. Neutral colors, quality workmanship, versatile pieces that can be worn in a variety of ways — a leather tunic can be a vest, a minidress, a layering piece over pants or leggings, an outerwear garment, etc."

Pre-Fall Inspiration: Alexander Wang, Rick Owens
"There is more authenticity in design, more craft in workmanship, and a tougher, more androgynous attitude, expressing a hip, confident sexiness."

Pre-Fall Inspiration: Narciso Rodriguez, Givenchy
"Clothes that are collectible, rather than classic, and in that way fit in with the idea of lasting fashion or items that have "legs"."
Pre-Fall Inspiration: Missoni, Oscar de la Renta
On the flip side of all the cleaned up minimalism or androgyny is an individualist, self-expressive approach, mixing the offbeat opulence of 20th century fashion eccentrics like the Marchesa Luisa Casati with the luxe bohemianism of London’s Biba era, all worn with freeform, glamour-meets-grunge, feel."
Pre-Fall Inspiration: Celine, Michael Kors
"A new Modernism, based more on true design and silhouette — whether it is rounded, A-line, cylindrical — than on retro or ethnic references. Sturdier fabrics, including heavy linens, smooth leathers, and experimental synthetics, that are meant to wear well and to get better with age."
