Men and Womenswear Trends - Automne/Hiver 2010-11 (Fashion Snoops)

Two key trends, which include color palettes, are displayed for Fall/Winter 2010-11. References to Hitchcock's female heroines embrace 40's austerity and elegance. While a literal translation of combating the rough economy is presented with a continuing warrior-like aesthetic, Joan of Arc comes back in the scene...


HITCHCOCK

40's austerity and elegance emulated chiefly from the Prada and Lanvin collections. With reference to Hitchcock's female heroines and wool skirt suits influenced by World War II, double breasted belted jackets and details like exaggerated shoulders and lapel shawl collars are important.

Color:
camel tones dominate the palette
a dose of masculine gray and black

Key Accessories:
structured handbags
driver gloves
pearls
crocodile skins
wide-brim hats


RENAISSANCE




Continuing the literal translation of combating the rough economy with a warrior-like aesthetic, Joan of Arc comes back in the scene with a dose Robin Hood. The look is medieval to the point of molded breastplates and fabrics include boiled wool, fur trim and chainmail knits. Prada's vision of medieval leather sliced dresses was particularly impactful.

Color:
earth-rooted and forest colors come together in a heraldic Coat of Arms sensibility
berries sit next to deep olive and pop against neutrals

Key Items:
skinny pants with a riding aesthetic
cozy cardigans
over-the-knee boots
