Drama Queen: Fashion-Fall Winter 2009

Written by Cheryl Lupul and Barb Klemke

Decadent and edgy, this season’s fashion hits the runway with a touch of the 80′s. Oversized shoulders and structured silhouettes define a new level of confidence. These sharp shoulders are complimented with wrapped, carved and belted waists.   Pencil skirts, slim pants and 80′s skinny leggings are long and lean. Jackets are tailored with wide, bold collars. The 80′s power suit is redone with architectural style. The popular trench coat is marked by ballooning shoulders and a full collar.

Fall announces rich textures in an array of fabrics from tweeds to patent and distressed leathers, shiny metallics and soft suedes. Deep jewel tones of ruby, amethyst, sapphire and emerald show their high luster in shiny tones or velvet decadence.

Comfy and cozy in totally tweed, choose black and white or autumn shades. Black rules with grey, midnight blue and brown close behind. Elegant fabrics of silk, satin and brocade take us back to the 50′s.  Art gallery collages adorn the fall runways – look for patchwork patterns of texture and color. Bold geometrics are loud and fun.

Sky scraper heels, high bohemian boots and cropped ankle booties will take you to the new level of fashion opulence. Cloaks, capes and wraps are making a comeback. For an elegant look drape a fur lined cape over your evening wear. Sequins, jewels, leather and faux fur create over the top glamour. Chunky beads and jewelled metallic necklaces are statement pieces. Shimmer and shine day or night with this season’s metallics and bold accessories.

One Tip Wonder: Go for some glamour! Purchase a fashion item adorned with sequins, jewels or an art gallery collage. Enjoy the season’s decadence!
