Paris Fashion Week Packs in the Trends & Carries Them For You

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

And the French get the final say. Paris Fashion Week has drawn to a close and we’ve sifted the runways for the trends that will affect your wardrobe come September, or sooner. Designers have squared off, whited out, and swept their competition. Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs were on some similar wavelengths for the new silhouette of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Ann Demeulemeester and Gareth Pugh finally got coordinating dragon tattoos. Meanwhile, the leg bomber strikes again and we’re still highlighting the hot outline. Now, follow the bell hop to the trends of Fall 2012. 

Full Color Spectrum of Spring Fashion Week

Amongst the bevy of busy prints that has shaped this fashion week, we’ve noticed how equally represented Roy G. Biv has been. These shades, however, are unique to now, with a sense of vibrancy. According to designers in the Big 4: New York, London, Milan and Paris, it’s going to be a colorful Spring. Taste the rainbow. 

5 Trends for Fall’s First Chill

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Later this week, Spring 2012 will permeate the interwebs, making us go googly eyed over trends we won’t fully appreciate for another six months. Meanwhile, I stepped outside today to the first NY chill of the season. So before I get Spring Fever over New York Fashion Week, let’s chat about the looks we’ve been lusting over for Fall that we finally get to put to werq.

RUNWAY: Limi Feu Spring 2010

Edited by Kirby Marzec

If Limi Feu’s Spring 2010 doesn’t have Japanese style written all over it, I don’t know what does. Daughter of designer Yohji Yamamoto, Limi Yamamoto certainly followed in her father’s footsteps this season with a collection that was more androgynous than a kid on Christopher Street (She even used male models to heighten the sense of androgyny in the womenwear!) Yamamoto exaggerated basic menswear with elaborate lapels and sleeves, brining yet another version to the trend. But I must say, the shoes, mostly masculine oxfords and booties, stole the show.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Limi Feu Fall 2009

Oh, the androgyny! Limi Feu’s Fall 2009 collection is yet another masculine infused women’s-wear collection to add to the mix. While the majority of the Victorian tuxedo pieces can be categorized as strictly basic, nothing the fashion world hasn’t already seen, there are several looks that certainly stand out amongst the rest. In addition to the incredible craftsmanship on Feu’s voluminous knits atop ballerinia skirts, her draped, belted and striped sweaters are equally as impressive. It seems to me that the basic blacks, whites and greys are among Feu’s strengths in this collection, as her magenta, perriwinkle, yellow and red pieces look strangely out of place and highly amateur.

Runway Rundown: Limi Feu

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Limi Feu is Limi Yamamoto’s (Yohji Yamamoto’s daughter) collection. Feu means ‘fire’, and this is her third collection, which is shown in Paris. The designer’s pieces are stark, strong, visual, and filled with street attitude. The Spring/Summer Limi Feu girl is superbly individualistic, highly ignorant of other people’s opinion, and generally cooler than the entire human population.

One of my fave elements; the over-sized pockets (especially above) that make it seem as though you are carrying a bag.  Also, LOVE the hair, braided to look like headphones, absolutely genius!

Thanks Fashionation
