A wise man once said the past can influence the future. This is more than true for the fashion of Fall 2011. This season it’s all about retro. We’re talking 60’s cuts, bold prints, and southwestern beaded jewelry.
It all starts with a little color. All over the runway, designers are using bright, super-saturated hues. Sunglasses may be needed. Next comes the leather, skirts, that is. Dark hued casual tops paired with a leather skirt, and topped off with a wide belt is a sure way to dress with a little edge. Speaking of edge, get ready for bold graphic stripes. Block-style dress in general is the way to go this season. Use it with a Twiggy inspired dress and flat sandals to give it a modern twist.
With the mod coming back we also have something a bit more earthy. Southwestern knit is back in style. A lot of turquoise beading and fringe vests. Think Native American. These oldies-but-goodies are causing a splash on the runway and with a little planning, and the right accents, you can have your own summer of love.
