Fall Trends: Baroque

Bold prints and patterns have no doubt been a trend these past few seasons and with the viewing of the Fall 2012 collections, show no signs of declining. From animal prints, to tribal one can only guess which trends will head the pack.

Well, we may have an answer for you.

According to “Women’s Wear Daily” the fall season is all about baroque prints, “If It Ain’t Baroque, Don’t Fix It.”

On various runways this past Fashion Week, designers have showcased the use of baroque prints, varying on jackets, dresses, and suits.

This fall is all about elaborate embroideries, patterns, and trimmings that add that extra dazzle to basic pieces, such as blazers, cropped suit pants, and black dresses.

Not sure how to incorporate this fall trend into you or your clients wardrobe?

Here are a few shots from the fall runways to help you get inspired!

Fashionistas Say Goodbye to Fashion Week

Fall Fashion Week has come to an end.

Throughout this past month we have enjoyed watching the major runways of New York, Milan, Paris, and London featuring classic luxury designers and the new and emerging. And of course fashion’s favorite pastime “celebrity watching,” tracking to see what every celebrity was wearing to Fashion Week.

Even though all is coming to an end, we have no reason to fret. Now is the time for all fashionistas, stylists, and consultants to start preparing for the upcoming season. It’s time to make lists of “must have” items, begin the process of closet editing, and begin preparing fall shopping lists.

Other things to look forward to:
