Autumn-Winter 2008-2009 FashionTrends
Winter trends are falsely serious: cuts are strict, shapes are masculine whereas colours, dresses, light matters and futuristic items are scattered all over shops and catwalks. Have fun with these discrepancies but stay very cautious: new trends are so subtle that huge lmistakes can be made!
Styles:
Bohemian Luxury

True it is folk-inspired, and it is bohemian, however it is also so much more.
It has its roots in traditional folk elements which were at the top of the trends last year, but it fuses in luxury and rock-chic accents. This has never been seen before. Bohemian Luxury is the new and staple trend.
It has been first noticed during the Milan Fashion Week and especially in Gucci's catwalk and next winter it will be in all fashonista's dressings.

80’s and 90’s: Back to Basics

Back to simplicity and uncluttered style of the 80's, 90's. Bye bye florals of the 70's...
Could be seen in Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent and Marc Jacobs catwalks.
Shopping Ideas: Zadig et Voltaire, Ba&sh and Kookai



Like a Boy: Suit up!

Masculine / Feminime style is "de rigueur". Suit up girls! Strict two or three-piece suits, feminime short-suits, masculine trenchs... A lot of items to play with your yin and yang.
Shopping Ideas: Zadig et Voltaire, La Redoute, Naf Naf



Gothic Chic

Black is more in than ever. Clothes become darker and darker but nerver sad. In fact these clothes are luxurious and elegant. This trend looks inspired from the dandy universe of the Victorian era.
Trend spotted in Givenchy and Barbara Bui catwalks.
Shopping Ideas: Naf Naf, Les Petites, La Redoute



Preppy Girls

Girls look wise. Let's dress like you were going back to school ladies.
Could be seen in Marc Jacob's catwalk.
Shopping Ideas: Lacoste, Zadig et Voltaire, Manoush



Plaid and Tartan

Plaid patterns on anything from jackets to skirts to blouses and tights. Rather than the traditional red tartans, 2009's plaid embraces a palette of muted greys, blues, greens and browns. British country styles are the underlying influence.
Trend spotted in Dolce Gabbana catwlak.
