What Will Make it Past the Runway?

- An avid trend-watcher, Erin knows all about the latest fads, styles, and fashions. When she's not prowling really good Marc Jacobs and designer sales (Gilt Group!), she's on the lookout for new online indie shops to share.
Fashion week, 2009 has come to an end and among all of the fabulous people, red carpets and glamour, there was a lot to be seen- including Barbie’s First Ever Runway Show! But as we all know, not everything actually makes it past the runway. I’ve created a compilation of what I think will actually show up on real people this fall. I’ll be curious to see which of my predictions make it this fall.
Feathers-Not everyone is going to be wearing the full-on pheasant feather hat, but there will be a whole lot of feathery and bird inspired fashion happening. I’m thinking lots of feather headbands.

Chunky Jewelry paired with more feminine pieces.

High-Waisted Skirts have slowly been making their way back into fashion for the past couple of seasons. I’m pretty sure this look is going to fall into most girls’ closets by September.

Streamlined Cut Out shapes are going to be all over the place in tops, pants, dresses. You name it.

Metallics are going to be huge in purses, shoes and accent colors. I noticed that almost every designer had a shiny metallic dress or evening gown. Which makes sense because historically, metallics have been a staple in hard times. We still want to shine.

Jeans Tucked into Boots- This is one of my favorite looks that was all over the runway. This look is here to stay for a long, long time.

Asymmetric Hems The asymmetric hem kind of comes and goes and comes and goes. They reminds me of my favorite skirt from the 80’s made by UNITS. The hem line started at mid-thigh on one side and then was bias-cut all the way to mid-calf. It was really cool at the time.
