Time to put away the bikinis-peeking-thru-bright-ass-pink-fishnet dresses from Summer 2010 that we hope you had the sense not to wear. (Believe me, I’ve seen this shit at the club in ATL… and at Wal Mart on the East side.) Fall is a comin! This is a GREAT time of the year to re-up on your wardrobe because the weather is coolin down and you have energy and residual Vitamin D from the Summer sun to bring a boom and a bang to the ATL scene. The ladies of the A are known for lookin’ good all day, every day!!! So just cuz Fall is comin that doesn’t mean we have to fall back!!! I wanted to know what was going to be in this Fall, so I’m sharing a trend report from STYLE.COM with you on FALL 2010 TRENDS. A lot of times when people see runway pictures they automatically think “Who the fuck would really wear this crap?” Designers have to create eye-popping experiences when their models walk down the runway, whether the look is extra dramatic or extremely out of this world. I like to look at different pieces, accessories, hair and make up styles, and simply just the ways that designers layer or put articles together. I think these trends will make great inspirations for this Fall… and I looove to dress for the Fall.

FIFTIES SOMETHING: “Cleavage made a, um, big comeback on the Fall runways, with hourglass silhouettes front and center. Nina Ricci’s combo of bustier and curve-hugging, below-the-knee pencil skirt had a retro 1950′s twist, as did the made-for-Christina Hendricks dresses at Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. At Prada, meanwhile, Lara Stone and co. made the case that curvy catwalkers should be more than just a novelty.”
HUE NEW: “The way to wear color this fall: head to toe, believe it or not. Tomas Maier sleekly paired a rosy blouse with red leather trousers, while Tory Burch showed an orange sweater and skirt with matching lipstick and leggings. On the cooler end: Oscar de la Renta’s blue tweed suit with coordinating checkered tights, and a bodacious, bright purple frock and leggings combo at Mark Fast. Turns out “matchy-matchy” is now a compliment.”
MAN UP: “There’s a running joke that people join the fashion industry because they can’t cope with corporate dress codes. Well, the laugh is on us this season. Menswear-inspired suiting and outerwear are key looks—and the smartest way to carry the minimalist trend forward. Celine’s Phoebe Philo made a convincing argument for cropped, ankle-flaring trousers, and even Alexander Wang did a tailored wool jacket, albeit with an exposed midriff that might get you canned on Wall Street.”
THE LONG VIEW: “It’s time to retire your micro-minis and sky-high heels. No, really. Designers have gone long for both day and night, turning out demure yet dramatic skirts that skim the upper shins (Marc Jacobs at both his own label and Louis Vuitton), graze the ankles (Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren), or fall gracefully somewhere in between. The most comforting part of this story: The new lengths look smashing with easy-on-the-feet kitten heels and flat-soled boots.”
UNDER WRAPS: ”The minimalist resurgence may be continuing apace, but that didn’t stop some designers from taking a more-is-more approach. J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons covered her models in a mix of sequins, shearling, cashmere, and denim, and there were upward of eight garments in a single outfit at Rag & Bone. Elsewhere, the layered look took on a chic-nomad feel: Wrap sweaters and skirts resembled handwoven blankets at Rodarte, and striped shawls were worn with cozy suede boots at Kenzo. Whatever else, you won’t go cold this winter.”
Allright ladies… don’t go crazy and combine all of these trends at once and end up looking like one huge ball of Fall!!!
