Fall into Winter with these trends

Well it looks like the fashion trends for this fall aren't for the faint of heart! With leather and fur featured prominently on the runway get ready to have PETA calling....lol Earth tones are coming in strong with soft tans and beiges complemented by rich plums and forest greens. Don't forget to get those lips some camera time with a classic red or red orange in matte.  The minimalist natural look was all over the runway for fall-winter RTW. Most designers chose a soft palettes of earth tone hues for a androgynous look. Large, full brows are going strong into this next season with some pops of color in a twist of the traditional smokey eye.

*NEW* at the DeYoung Museum: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier:

*NEW* at the DeYoung Museum: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier:
March 24, 2012 - August 19, 2012 Herbst Special Exhibition Galleries. Dubbed fashion’s enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier launched his first prêt-à-porter collection in 1976 and founded his own couture house in 1997. Emerging as a designer in the 1970s, he developed his own dress codes that reflected the changing world around him. The openly gay Gaultier uses his designs to tackle gender and transgender issues through androgynous, gender-bending styles, meanwhile delving even further into some of the darker areas of the sexual revolution. Always provocative, he addresses issues of multiculturalism by bringing ethnic diversity to the Paris runway. Despite the gritty and sometimes controversial context of his collections, the clothes remain beautiful, superbly crafted with the finest dressmaking and detailing skills. This dynamic, multimedia exhibition will include 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter designs created between the mid-1970s and 2010, along with numerous sketches, archival documents, fashion photographs, and video clips that spotlight Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians, most notably Madonna. For this presentation, Gaultier partnered with the Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30 animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.
