Along with the crisp fall breeze that assures us summer is winding down comes new fashion possibilities—and what better to fill the void in your closet? With fall comes a tendency for darker attire, the bold textures, edgy colours and metallic hardware—of course, these are just a few of things to look forward to this season, and don’t feel restricted to just one!
We’ve combined this season’s boldest looks to love and layer, and they’re sure to spice up your wardrobe of neutrals and remind you that more is more. We may not be shedding skin as the temperatures drop, but we sure are showing new skins, like wine-stained leathers for trenches and tops and multi-hued furs for coats. Classic camouflage prints were all over pants and pumps that came stomping down the runways for everyone from Jean Paul Gaultier to Carolina Herrera. These pieces are not for the faint of heart or the timid to trends—but keeping warm doesn’t mean letting your style go cold.

TFW diary: Neo-Teenflo stylings at Judith & Charles
Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani In its current incarnation as Judith & Charles, well-known Canadian contemporary brand Teenflo is looking good. Shown in presentation form, the Spring 2012 collection certainly got the eye-to-eye lookover, though it would have been nice to see the outfits in motion. I overheard more than one “I’d like to see the clothes move.”
The mostly neutral-hued collection used classic shapes—blazers, shift dresses, cardigans, boat-neck tops, and even a jumpsuit thrown in for good measure—to fill the mannequin-lined runway, and the murmurs from the crowd were pleased. This collection will certainly sell very well—the black semi-military-inspired jumpsuit was calling to me—but, as we’ve come to expect from this line, the items won’t exactly turn heads.
