TAS gets you well-known Indian Fashion Designer Jattinn Kochhar to share some fashion trends and style tips for Fall/Winter 2011/2012
- Androgyny: The whole world seems to be changing. Men become more like women and women strive to look and act like men. Fashion just can’t stay aside of this global trend. And as a result we see mannish shirts, suits, boots, and hats in majority of Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 designer collection.
- Color: For colder seasons designers normally prefer using neutral or reserved colors like black, brown, navy, cream, dark violet, etc. However, Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections abound in brighter hues like crimson, neon orange, purple, sky blue and others. Besides, these eye-popping tones can come in daring combinations.
- Fetish: This trend has come very unexpected. The most surprising thing is that so many designers have taken it so seriously.
- Texture Overload: Everything is mixed in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections. Silk comes along with fur and knitwear, sequins and leather make a perfect combination and even plastic goes well with chiffon and wool. Sounds crazy? It does.And it does look a bit.
- 40s Elegance: Fashion repeats itself. In Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 40s elegance is again a hot trend. The best approach to reinvent this fashion era.
- Midi and Maxi skirts: Miniskirts are always popular, especially with teenagers. But for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 you better embrace the longer length skirts. These can look as sexy as minis because your sex appeal depends on how you wear your clothes, not the type of clothing you wear.
- Prints: The variety of prints in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections is huge: from tiny polka dots in and broken glass to girly paisley and bold flowers. There are also baroque prints , photographic flowers.
- Pleats and Frills: While gender play trend is going forward at a steady gait some designers think femininity should be preserved. It’s the greatest news for those girls who don’t want to transform into strong and courageous men and prefer to remain fragile women. Pleats, frills, cute rosettes and lovely embroidery help us look romantic. And we sometimes want to look romantic, don’t we?
- Zoological: Besides zoological prints, like leopard and python, to which we have already got accustomed due to the fact every single season designers use these in their creations, in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 ranges we see lots of feathers, wild animals printed on fabric.
- Chunky Knit Sweater: Fall and winter are cold seasons, so there is no wonder why designers have included warm chunky sweaters into their collections..you can see a great variety of knitted items in their Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 line.
- Fur: As with sweaters, fur is the perfect material for winter. And it looks chic, too. But with the severe struggle to protect animals designers have become wiser and started using more faux fur than genuine one. One more interesting tendency to note – designers make real fur look like fake and fake fur look like genuine.
- Leather: Fur and leather often come together. Indeed, they make a great combination. For Fall/Winter 2011/ 2012 fashion season leather is a big trend. You can go for a total leather look like Hermes offers or restrict yourself to separate items or even details in leather.
- Layers: Despite the fact fashion experts often criticize layered looks layers are the best for colder time. The more layers, the warmer you feel, unless your layers aren’t too slinky of course.
- Wide cropped trousers: This is the shape of trousers many women try to avoid thinking those will look really unflattering. However, if styled well such trousers can look fantastic.
- Coats: Fall and winter are all about outerwear. Coats designers have offered us this season are all very diverse. Opt for a military coat , youthful and sexy cropped trench , or luxury coat. I suggest cropped hooded coats trimmed with fur. You could also try wider poncho style coats. As you see the variety is almost unlimited. Just go for any piece you like!
