Five Spring Couture Trends You Can Wear IRL
Haute Couture is meant to be totally unique; each piece must be special ordered and some take upwards of 6,000 hours to sew. But just because couture isn’t exactly every day wear, doesn’t mean we can’t glean some inspiration to pull into our own wardrobe. We sifted through the season to pull out five totally […]

Fall Fashion 2014: 231 photos of the top 10 trends of the season
See the entire Fall fashion 2014 trend report »
From the food aisles to a galaxy far, far away, Fall 2014’s fashion narrative is just as varied as the many women who’ll likely fall for its manifold charms.
Call it the Lorde effect (or blame it fashion’s ever-growing obsession with Game of Thrones), but designers across all four major fashion cities seemed to fall under the dark spell of moody heroines. At Dolce & Gabbana, dresses were made to scrape that forest floor. At Valentino, capes shrouded the wicked and at Rodarte and Preen, Star Wars prints were made for the modern day Princess Leia.

And while normcore may have mounted last season’s defence to street style’s increasing zaniness, Fall fashion 2014 is rife with ways to make statements. Flashbulbs will no doubt capture this season’s array of larger than life outerwear, from the utilitarian parkas on Alexander Wang’s robotic runway to Burberry’s painterly blanket coats. Meanwhile, fur was back with a brightly hued vengeance, ombréd at both Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, and in Crayola checks at Altuzarra. At Lanvin and Marni, fur was layered in wrap form over everything from short suits to sweatshirts.
This season’s accessories are especially light-hearted, with everything from a McDonalds Happy Meal to a carton of milk inspiring fall fashion 2014’s bags at Moschino and Chanel respectively. There were fur muffs at Tory Burch, crystal-incrusted snoods at Alexander McQueen and knee-highs á la Vivian Ward at Versace and sneakers once again staking their claim at Chanel.
If there ever were a time to pick your poison, it would be now.

Paris: Rivets, cardboard and chalk at A.F. Vandevorst
For the Fall 2010 A.F. Vandevorst collection, designers An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx created draped layers in camel, black, burgundy and red. Structured skirts and jackets were dotted with rivets (also played out on corrugated breastplates and boots articulated at the knee) and many of the black pieces were covered with chalky scribbles and white […]
