Fashion highlights for fall/winter 2010-2011 (recap)

Return of beautiful quality fabrics as a remedy for depression
Ink blues and purples is an important colour palette, combine blues with orange or rust, neutrals are finely shaded with a hint of colour, organic greens, camel, urban grey for coats instead of black
Revamped tartans – different colours and weaves
Fur – faux and real (although maybe not the real on the West Coast!)
Leather in both traditional black and brown as well as metallic colours
Hourglass silhouette back in vogue - extended shoulders (not as much as the 80’s) fuller sleeves, belted waists, peplum
Decorative stud and zipper details in coats/jackets, play on seam details
Bubble wrap – full and cozy wrap coat in heavier textured fabric
Denim – washed, distresses, coloured, as well as eco-friendly blends
Men’s shirting – traditional with a twist
Knits for a softer style
Hint of military styling influenced by the Amelia Earhart movie
