Direct from NYC Fashion Week: The Top Ten Trends for Fall 2005

Written by Kathryn Finney


1. Hot Dog Colors: Ketchup red, Mustard Yellow, Relish Green, Onion White, and Hot Dog Brown seems to be big colors for Fall.

2. Brocade- Schedule a date with your curtains. This look is best with metallic accents inrepparttar fabric. I saw a great brocade jacket, reminisce of something from Tracy Reese, on sale at Lord & Taylor for $50.00

3. Ethnic look- As someone who is of an ethnic group, I find this trend a little annoying. Dashikis are really not for everyone. Imagine if a whole bunch of size 2 fashionista's walking down your street wearing Dior Yarmulkes. You getrepparttar 130126 picture. However, if you are going to go for this look, please, don't get braided extensions.

4. High/Low Fabric- Mix higher, more expensive fabrics like silk, brocade, cashmere, with study, cheaper fabrics like canvas and wools. Keeprepparttar 130127 polyester hidden.

5. Fur- Fashion Week was a Zoo, literally. Fur was everywhere and on everything. I say score a coat from your local Salvation Army and save an animal.
