FALL 2013 TREND REPORTS

Whether pretty in pastels, borrowed from the boys, or berfurred, coats are fashion’s must-have Fall accessory. But extreme outerwear is only part of the story. Also in the air: nouveau punk, a film-noir, mid-century silhouette, and Savile Row fabrics with feminine kick. Here, the season’s most important trends.

LAYOUT AND SHOPPING SELECTION BY GEORGE ENACHE
 
PUNK
Designers from Junya Watanabe to Donatella Versace channeled the glory days of Sid and Nancy, Siouxsie Sioux, and Vivienne Westwood before she was Dame Viv, churning out all manner of tartan, vinyl, chains, studs, and spikes.

PASTEL COATS
Say good-bye to seasonal affective disorder. From Victoria Beckham to Giambattista Valli, designers whipped up coats in illuminating pastels like baby blue, buttercup yellow, lavender, and powder pink. Nothing has more pick-me-up potential.

HIS IS HERS
Oversize topcoats were the other big story in outerwear this season, with Alexander Wang, Jil Sander, and Stella McCartney sending out single – and double-breasted styles that could’ve been nicked from a boyfriend’s closet.

1940s
1940s icons Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Veronica Lake and Katherine Hepburn were honored in the Fall/Winter 2013-2014 collections, especially those shown in Milan. Honing soft shoulders, nipped waists, rounded hips and lowered necklines, designers emulated the hourglass silhouette on their runways, and proved its eternally seductive power.

COLORLESS

Not everything is black or white. Fall’s runways were rife with the in-between — from charcoal to slate — consider it the new neutral. So…grey matter!

SEXY BEASTS
All-out or nothing was Fall’s fur message. Ultra-shaggy, patchworked, vibrantly colored, oversize-the statement-making pelts spotted at Altuzarra, Tom Ford, and Lanvin are for the tame. The situation got even hairier at the Fendi show, where the models sported fox Mohawks.
