The Fashion Pulse Daily Team’s Favorite Trends for Fall 2014

by fashion pulse contributor

The Trend: A (Very) Deep V-Neck

A girl can exude so much confidence when she bears a little skin, but that’s not to say she doesn’t look just as bold when sporting a bunch of layers.  Regardless, it’s hard not to remark that this season’s deep V-neck is striking. It’s a sartorial risk, but every model that took the plunge seemed sure of herself as she strutted down the runway—and so, so very poised. After perusing the dramatically cut dresses at DKNY, DVF, Hugo Boss, Jenny Packham, Suno, and Tory Burch, there’s no doubt you’ll be inspired. And, if you prefer a little more coverage, there’s always Wes Gordon’s take on the silhouette—a deep V illusion that’s backed by a delicate sheath of neutral lace.

The Trend: Deep, Matte, Crimson Lips

It seems that the darker in shade with your lip color that you go, the more on-trend you will be for fall 2014! The same also goes for nails, with a bevy of merlot, burgundy, maroon-ish shades showing up on fingernails (try essie’s “carry on” for the look), and matching your “lips to your tips” with this shade reinforces the cool factor.

My absolute favorites include: at Rebecca Minkoff, Sarah Lucero for Stila used  Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Amore, at Clover Canyon, Deanna Melluso for Kevyn Aucoin’s diffused application of The Expert Lip Color in Bloodroses and Dantrice, at Naeem Khan, James Boehmer created a deep red lip by mixing three lipsticks and two lip liners (Marlene, Jeanne, and Bette Audacious Lipsticks and Lanikai and Mirihi liners), and at PARKCHOONMOO, Jenna Menard for Clinique lined the lip with Quickliner for Lips in Plummy and diffused it adding in some Long Last Lipstick in Matte Plum, keeping it matte, while adding a heavy amount of Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss ONLY to the bottom lip, for a bit of a  “sucking on a lollipop” aesthetic.

A variety of skin tones work well with this darkened shade of red, which also simplifies your makeup look, as just a touch up on the brows and defined eyelashes are all you need to compliment the lip. Don’t just take my word for it though, and start to give it a try for THIS fall/winter; merely pick up a dark lip pencil and fill in your lips for a quick way to get a dry, matte iteration of the look.

The Trend: Slouchy, Silky Trousers

Move over body-hugging cuts: loose, casual pant silhouettes epitomized sophisticated cool on the runways this season. Flowing fabrics of crepe de chine and silk were cut loosely and draped the sky-high legs of New York’s finest supermodels. The key to the look was a balanced top; either a tucked-in, ladylike blouse a la Milly or oversized flowing layers a la Rebecca Minkoff. Additional trouser favorites came from designers 3.1 Philip Lim and Rebecca Taylor, whose artfully cut pants draped and flowed with the curvature of a bias cut dress. Many of our favorite pants included masterful draping techniques, modern darts, and pleats to ensure that the pant fell beautifully and moved in all the right ways. Many versions were cropped above the ankle, while some skimmed all the way to the floor, requiring a heel heel or platform. Your skinny jeans can take a few days off this fall, so stock up on these wider, flowing trousers in the array of forgiving silhouettes.

The Trend: Mega Metallic

The Fall/Winter 2014 collections have proven that the widespread use of metallic is back with a bang! Raoul incorporated several pieces such as a foiled gold skirt and a multi-colored gown with a swirl texture, while a dose of metallic shine was canvassed in the footwear category, from a little accent on black flats to all-encompassing silver heels.  Georgine focused on the trend with a teal snakeskin print pencil skirt and trousers, forest green leggings, a beautiful sequin floral print top, and the breathtaking finale gown with a shiny black bodice and an embellished sequin floral print from the waist down. Douglas Hannant also utilized the beauty of metallic shine in tandem with the color teal in a wide display of dresses, jackets, skirts, and trousers. The collection also featured a dramatically cropped, glittery black jacket and several different colored glittery and shiny cocktail dresses and gowns.

Glitz and glamour is a stalwart at Badgley Mischka, right at home this season with jeweled embellishments and head to toe sparkling gowns.  Embrace metallic this season, from your nails to your footwear, and no longer feel you need to  reserve it for special occasions, as metallic is showing up in every clothing piece and accessory type, and it’s high time we take advantage of the “wow” effect it can bring.

The Trend: Red-y for Fall
Designers must have red our minds, knowing that women were wanting a new go-to bold color for the upcoming fall/winter of 2014.  With pops, splashes, and nods to it on almost every runway, red of all varieties was an important player for the season.  Seen in dresses and sportswear alike, my favorite look was the stunning two-piece ensemble from Marissa Webb, featuring a cropped v-neck sweater above a full red silk ball gown skirt.   A refreshingly bright and modern silhouette, this look embodies what the new lady in red will look like- ultra sophisticated an on point!

The Fashion Pulse Daily Team’s Favorite Trends for Fall 2013

Want to know the favorite trends straight from the FPD fashion week team! Here you go!

The Trend: Fur Accessories

Fur isn’t just for coats anymore; designers are infusing new life into this fall/winter staple by crafting more pieces in their collections with sumptuous furs. Oversized fur mittens kept cropping up in shows from Alexander Wang, Altuzarra and Katie Ermilio. Furry leg warmers also made an appearance in bright shades of purple and yellow at Jeremy Scott. Even fashion blogger Bryan Boy in collaboration with Adrienne Landau, showed fur some love with his debut accessories collection that featured colorful fur bow ties and camera straps. While some people may not want to have an entire fox wrapped around their necks like the ones seen at Marc Jacobs, these other pieces offer fun new ways to look good while staying warm. Now that’s fashion with function.

The Trend: Mixed Material Sleeves

This isn’t brand-spanking new to the style scene, as arm coat-style bodices and khaki trenches have been getting leather sleeves attached to them as of late, but there is definitely a heightened interest in the trend and the variety of sleeve options have expanded for fall to include fur, tweed, bedazzlement, and more eye-catching options.  The key to this look relies on the contrast; soft mixed with hard, satiny smooth mixed with nubby, woven combined with…furry. Favorites included those seen at Carolina Herrera, BCBG MAX AZRIA, and Rebecca Minkoff. If your adept at the sewing machine, you could try a little DIY action and Frankenstein a few garments, or try the simplest version of this: layer a vest over top!

The Trend: Asymmetrical Silhouettes

With asymmetry back on the runways in full force this season, this unbalanced look will be a bold statement, come fall. What is great about this trend is that it can be toyed with for either a casual or more more formal style, depending on the styling, as both Tia Cibani and Diego Binetti exemplified this season.

The New York Fashion Week Team’s Top Spring 2012 Trends

by Julia DiNardo

Tribal

This season, the tribal trend was an easy one to spot, thanks to its brown, orange, cream, and black color palette, canvas and raffia fabrics, braiding, and darker beading. We loved the pieces that represented the trend at Proenza Schouler (pictured above), as well as at Herve Leger, Donna Karan, and even at Diane von Furstenberg. You can start to take steps toward the trend by incorporating it into your look now via an accessory; a handbag, a pair of earrings or necklace, or shoes.

Blue

Among the most favored trends of this year’s SS12 season is the primary color blue. The gorgeous hue stood strong as a solid, complimented a multitude of prints, and popped up on nails. A royal blue flower petal print seduced at Jason Wu, while Marc Jacobs welcomed various blues into his layer-heavy collection. Daring blue midnight sapphire nails appeared more than once at 3.1 Philip Lim, Jen Kao, and Sachin & Babi. Yet, if I had to choose one shade, I’d suggest sticking with the classic, yet contemporary navy. Take a cue from both the Tory Burch and Rag + Bone runway collections on mixing navy with orange, with white or with other shades of blue. Let’s just say blue is “cool” in more ways than one for spring!

The Peplum

Peplum accents are all the rage on the Spring 2012 runway for New York Fashion Week. This glamourous addition come in any size or fullness, giving a fun adornment to a solid color. With a peplum, it feels as though your outfit came with a built-in accessory, as the beautiful ruffle adds a personality of its own. The trend was seen on various runways this season, such as Jason Wu, Badgley Mischka, and Vera Wang. Cynthia Rowley went for a bolder statement. with peplums found in vibrant prints, paired with tailored pants gave a rock and roll vibe on the runway.

New York Fashion Week Outfit of the Day (Day 6)

by Julia DiNardo

Sometimes dressing casually can still look put together. Take for example, my outfit, seen here at the Chris Benz show on Day 6 of fashion week:  all of these pieces I’ve worn in a casual manner before, but thrown together they present more a casual, chic, effortless vibe (at least in my mind!). Toward the end of the week, my main focus was on my work, and not necessarily my outfits, so style and comfort had to go hand in hand. I went with reliable pieces, most of which I have had in my wardrobe for a while, that I knew wouldn’t let me down.  In this look:

  • cashmere cardigan, J.Crew (about four years old)
  • top, from ShopManhattanite.com, about a year old
  • skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs (newish, a bday gift from Mom!)
  • MiMi by Sorrelli Suspended Metallic Crescent Drop Earrings, compliments of Sorrelli
  • Dante Stud Hobo, compliments of Handbag Heaven
  • pale nude/pink pumps, Nine West (about seven years old)
