Autumn / Winter 2007 Fashion Trends - Allure, class, elegance & style!

The look this season is completely different from the last years untamed free-style boho.  Last year it was all about frills, lace, sequins, colour, shine, wild patterns and textures - all reflecting a desire for feminine luxuries. The fashions reflected a rich opulence and a desire to wear sumptuous fabrics embellished with beads, sequins and metallic threading.

This season a more luxurious & sophisticated look is emerging, the garments are more pulled together, less glitz but definitely more glamour. Rather then wearing richly embellished ethnic look garments, there is a more classic and elegant mood. The styles are simple yet elegant, the fabrics are mostly in a plain colour free from wild prints, shiny sequins or colourful beads. Think classy, elegant, voguish & chic.

Long baby doll tunics, a stylish top made from a mettalics material, pinafore dress, opaque leggings/tights, crisp white shirt, cross-over stylish dress with a wide belt worn high on the waist, fur collar cropped jacket, hight waisted skinny jeans, long swing coat, waist cinched or empire-line dress for special occasions, wide mannish slouchy trousers, flowing caftan tops.
