Autumn 2012 Fashion Trends

Purple It started using a lilac carpet at Christopher Kane, then the purple one at Prada. Through the medium of carpeting, purple was within the room. It's got appeared on catwalks in most four cities, including Parisian houses Dior and Chanel. Other punchy colours for autumn previewed in Paris include dark blue and electric pink. Stella McCartney and Balenciaga both nailed a solid use of colour this year.


Goth v sporty There’s a moodiness up: think Dragon Tattoo having a dash of sci-fi warrior princess. At Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci took his modern gothic look and added an equestrian flourish, while Haider Ackermann’s brooding designs that cover body like being worn with a powerful warrior in a atmospheric film. Around the flip from the darkness, there's sporty. McCartney is constantly on the reign here with baseball collars and flippy sports skirts.

Capes An oversized coat with sloping, curved shoulders is anticpated to be influential thanks yet again to Céline. And also the cape has returned: in Milan, Dolce & Gabbana place it at the heart of their collection, during Paris, Stefano Pilati’s last collection for YSL featured classy evening styles. Givenchy featured short jackets with cape-like tendencies. Hermès opened its show with blankets swooshed across the models’ shoulders.

Belts Once more cinching is back since the lead styling trick. In other waist news, the peplum continues to be granted another season even though some tops around the catwalks were belted to generate this effect. Meanwhile addititionally there is something happening in the hips. At Burberry this meant oversized pockets while at Stella, a tweed suit skirt was cut having an exaggerated hour-glass shape.


Leather Jumpsuits, gloves, an expensive contrast lapel - whatever you desire next season, you should buy the leather version. This is simply not so much a trend like a luxury statement. Top-end labels, including Hermès, know that the mega-rich aren’t suffering from the recession, for them to merrily showcase their priciest fabrics. See also fur, which can be, sadly, also by the bucket load.

Mini bags Mini handbags would be the new designer key-rings, only a bit dearer. Such entry-level backpacks are aimed at the eager fashion fan who would like designer but doesn’t have two grand for that full-sized bag. Minis were popular at Prada and Dolce & Gabbana in Milan before appearing at Givenchy and Chloé in Paris.

Statement eyebrows Forget punchy nail polishes. Come autumn, you’ll be no-one without a jazzy brow. In Milan, the Prada models had orange greasepaint brows with black underneath. They appeared - orange again - at Dries Van Noten in Paris. Though Karl Lagerfeld took everything one step further having a dramatic Chanel brow built from crystal, glitter and sequins - great for his fantasy Superman set.

Wide shapes Skirts and trousers are receiving wider. The ever influential Phoebe Philo at Céline has worked on looser shapes for a couple seasons. This autumn, she actually is backing trousers with volume inside the thigh that tapers in the ankle, with zips or even a sporty stripe. Skirts vary in levels of fullness: Dior’s really are a retro circle while Balenciaga’s gently flick out, A-line style.
