It's all about power dressing. We'll say it again in bold letters POWER DRESSING. No more flower on the wall but in your face dressing. Sure, so far there are a lot of black and grays for the Autumn/Winter 2008 but it is statement dressing time to all you ladies and lads out there. If you're thinking suits, then think sharp edge tailoring with cinched in waist and excellent material (a la Todd Lynn). If you're thinking jewellery think big and if you're thinking bags then think bigger bigger bigger.
Monochrome will still be in come next winter (Check out Basso & Brooke) but the lines are bolder, braver even. And you have got to have that signature piece that just shouts out. Bold colors but not everywhere, no shy pastels, or faded hues. If you're wearing color, stick to one hue and make it shout. Big, bold and beautiful are order of the day.
And to be honest what we've noticed so far from NY to London catwalks is that fashion has become open season and everything goes. You've just got to find your specialty area and go for it. From long to short skirts (Nathan Jenden had us on a roller coaster with that one), from boot leg to skinny, dark to light everything goes. And I love cheesy cliches so I'll leave you with one for now "Make any piece your own".
More to come later....
