Fall 2014 on the Ramp
With the falling of the leaves and the gentle cool breeze comes the fall season. Fall 204 is all about layers, the 60s and making it big! The latest fall 2014 trends show large bathrobes ala Hugh Hefner in style, dresses over pants, big bold prints of the 60s, knee high boots, a western cowboy touch to dresses, A line jackets and over the top turtleneck. You can layer yourself in comfortable and snuggle inside your clothes this fall. Casual wear for women rocked the ramp this fall season.
This season, the fall 2014 runway was all about making a bold statement and even with wearable couture, you could spot designer like Karl Lagerfeld going all out with big bold patterns and styles. The architectural look is back in and silhouettes and body hugging clothes are out this season. Layering is the new trend this fall and an important one at that. With long coats, sweater, knitted wear and blouses that are bold and printed, layering is the way to go. Handbags have become small and an androgynous look is what designers have aimed for. There are tailored dresses and suits that double up as casual ensembles and girls who wear straight pants and are in no mood to accentuate their hips or their curves. This season is all about the line. Business casual for women were in thick stripes, chevron shirts and pencil skirts too made a way this season too.
Designers like Marc Jacobs went all out with the knitted pants and Tom Ford decided to go with the Muppet fur while Miu Miu kept it bold and 60’s with beautiful mini dresses inspired by the hit show Mad Men. Casual clothes for women were mostly done for street style fashion in Paris, London and New York Fashion weeks.
