MINIMAL CHIC
Many of a/w 2010’s looks were severe, simple and
devastatingly chic. Minimal looks stormed the
catwalks and this restrained aesthetic looked fresh
and new after a summer of ruffles. Pare down
your look with plain pieces: sharp-lined blazers
and straight A-line edged skirts. It’s the ultimate
trend for city girls.

COLUMN SKIRTS OPULENCE
Fashion hits the floor this season as elegant
column skirts became the newest way to dress
for evening. But unlike summer’s maxi, this
season’s skirts are worn with grungy glamour.
Pair with a casual top or chunky knit for an
unpredictable angle – Marc Jacobs’ mix of cable
knit and sequins has floored us. In a good way.

Inspired by couture details, and intricate
embroidery, bejewelled brocade and sumptuous
damask set the tone for the season. After-dark
dressing turned ultra-desirable as dresses
bedecked with sequins appeared at Balmain,
while MaxMara’s gold-thread encrusted coats
took the fashion pack’s breath away.
