Twiggy, Penelope Tree and Jane Birkin were on the minds of designers at Gucci, Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton this season. Mini-skirts, trapeze dresses, patent Mary-Janes, graphic bobs and pastel colors paid tribute to the baby doll style, presenting a fresh, carefree take on the Swinging Sixties London.

Reinterpreted at Alexander McQueen, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Chloé, Pucci and Versace, this indispensable winter classic became extraordinary: wild influences, patchwork effect and flashes of vibrant red updated the rules of the classic and eternal fur coat.

The couture touch of ostrich feathers graced ready-to-wear runways this season. Soft and light, the plumes added a touch of refined elegance to each silhouette, floating breezily down the runway, as light as the wings of a bird.

A trend also seen at Emanuel Ungaro, Alberta Ferretti and Marni.

From Fendi to Miu Miu, the athletic esthetic continued to inspire designers this season, seen both in fleece and mesh fabrics in a red, blue and black palette, each item brought a cool, dynamic sportswear vibe to the runway.

From Little Red Riding Hood, to Snow White and the Queen of Hearts, Fall/Winter 2014-2015's collections were dreamy and imaginative. Poetic silhouettes made of delicate fabrics and precious embroidery were a homage to some of the most famous fairytales. The trend was seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and Valentino.

This winter, suits take on a masculine edge, as girls walked the runway in boyfriend-borrowed ensembles. The trend for classically tailored suits was seen at Haider Ackermann, Hermès and Ralph Lauren.

FASHION COLOR REPORT FALL 2014

Fall Fashion Trend 2014 : BEHIND THE SEAMS: DELPOZO 

Source : http://en.vogue.fr

NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — Autumn is almost here, so what’s hot when it comes to fall fashion trends?

Top 10 Men's Colors

There has been a gradual shift towards a unisex color palette in recent seasons—and fall 2014 is no exception. Similar to the women’s palette, this season’s men’s collections have also been inspired by a need to explore—traveling back in time or into the unknown—resulting in a more adventurous use of color, especially through combinations.

Exotic Sangria invigorates the men’s palette while Aurora Red adds a sophisticated spark to any winter wardrobe. Pair Aurora Red with Cognac, a tasteful brown, for a confident and high-profile look. Cognac will also be popular with more vibrant shades in the palette, including Misted Yellow, which adds a touch of optimism to cold weather ensembles.

Both Radiant Orchid, a fascinating purple, and Bright Cobalt blue will be quintessential statement colors this season—bold and charismatic shades prevalent in everything from sportswear to shoes. Pair these hues with Sea Fog, a more masculine representation of Mauve Mist, for a powerfully poised fall look.

Combine Aluminum, a complex silvery shade, with versatile, elegant Royal Blue and bracing Cypress. These hues will undoubtedly play an integral role in men’s fashion this fall, serving as staple hues for outerwear and formalwear throughout the cooler months.

For more than 20 years, Pantone, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to bring you the season’s most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for fall 2014.

Though we do not want summer to end (how did it go by so fast?), part of us is looking forward to all those little things that come with fall: the crispness in the air, layering sweaters and wearing leather jackets again, and swapping out our bright summer clothes and makeup for a moodier color palette. One of the best ways to accent this new fall look, is with a fresh manicure. Here, are our the polishes our editors swear by for autumn.

"I never pick my nail color according to trends. Since last spring, I have been obsessed with varying shades of brown nail polishes so that my hands appear to be all one color. I've continued this into summer and will probably do so into fall until something changes my mind."-Danielle Prescod, fashion editor

"I love a neutral nude with a pink hue, it's very Kim Kardashian. I wear a lot of black so it's a nice contrast. The perfect accent to my open toe booties." -Erin Toland, art director

$9.50; ulta.com

"I have such a crush on Deborah Lippman's Blue Orchid nail lacquer. It's the perfect hazy shade of blue—a little more grown up than my old favorite, Hard Candy's Sky, but with the same cloudy, dreamy vibe. I think I'll wear it with my new Frame Denim jeans and vintage Luella blazer during Fashion Week shows—and it'll look so cute peeking out of my gold Miu Miu platform sandals during the after parties." -Faran Krentcil, special projects editor,

"I can’t wait to bust out Essie’s new dusty teal hue, "Fall in Line.” Usually I’m not one for funky colors, but I get excited thinking about my hands wrapped around a steaming Hot Toddy, my lambs’ ear-colored digits poking out from an oversize Prabal knit. A girl can dream, can’t she?"-Justine Harman, features editor

"I'm a big fan of Zoya's polishes (love that they're Big 5 free, and the brush is really easy to use) and I expect this dark red shade will be on my toes all through the winter."-Kate Winick, social media editor

$9; zoya.com

“Last fall I was obsessed with Essie’s After School Boy Blazer midnight blue polish, but a few weeks ago I was introduced to the JINsoon Tess Giberson Collection and nocturne, a gunmetal dark grey, has won me over. I have always loved a dark polish that almost looks black, but I’ve never been so drawn to a metallic before. The slight shimmer takes away anything that might be construed as goth, and makes such a dark color seem a little delicate.”-Megan Cahn, beauty editor

$18; jinsoon.com

"For fall, I love a deep, burnt shade, like OPI's purple-tinged "rich chocolate" from their Brazil collection." -Rebecca Moss, producer

$9.5; ulta.com 

"I’m a nude nail type of girl, but you’d be amazed how how difficult it is to find the perfect shade of nude polish. Tom Ford’s Toasted Sugar is as close to perfect as I’ve found thus far. It makes my nails look lacquered and long, and lasts a full week and a half (if I don’t wash dishes…which I try my very best not to!)"-Ruthie Friedlander, deputy editor 

$32; tomford.com

"I do Essie's Bordeaux—for fall I love a clean neutral or a rich, deep red color.  To me, the darker hue is a classic twist on the traditional red and lends the perfect hint of sexiness to my otherwise understated beauty look." -Sally Holmes, news editor 

$8.50; target.com

"I normally like to keep my nails very dark in the fall, but I’m all about nudes right now—specifically, nudes that are muddled by a tinge of gray. CND is the only nail lacquer I ever use since I was introduced to it a few years ago, because the colors are always on point and it’s virtually unchippable. I suspect that my autumn beauty uniform will be the brand’s beige-ish shade Impossibly Plush, paired with a very dark wine-stained lip." -Victoria Hoff, editorial assistant

While most of my gal pals & I stay at the Empire Hotel {which is right across the street from most of the shows at Lincoln Center}, sometimes people stay elsewhere. But there is always a very good chance of bumping into someone you know every time you cross the street into the Lincoln Center Square. As I was heading to the DVF show {snapping pictures for the blog beforehand}, I ran into my old friend Caroline from the blog House of Harper. If you haven’t had a chance to check out her site, it offers a well curated combination of lifestyle meets fashion. I adore Caroline because not only is she a Texas gal but she enjoys the pomegranate margarita’s and guacamole just as much as I do. We headed to Rosa Mexicana just after shooting these pictures for a nice catch up session.

P.S. The DVF show was awesome {as always}.

THE SPANISH HOUSE PLAYS WITH COLOR

PHOTOGRAPHY PETER STIGTER

WORDS RAY SIEGEL

Josep Font’s creative direction under the Spanish house of Delpozo, which was founded in 1974, is often spoke of as a revival. 

There are loud whispers of Spanish flare throughout, but Font’s aesthetic is far from retro. “We’re headed to the future, one step at a time,” Font clarifies. “We try to bring fresh pieces to offer the modern woman.”

Modernity is an accurate word to describe the interaction of color happening throughout the house’s spring collection. This season called for color on more than one runway, but Font’s interpretation is more complex; his use of color combinations effectively creates dimension and space. 

“One of our focal points each season is the use of Josef Alber’s theory of color interaction and how that impacts you,” Font explains. Vibrant greens and coral tinted oranges are combined with subdued pastels here, creating a visual experience that’s difficult to look away from.

A second focal point is the use of natural landscapes as art. Geometric shapes and petal details are reminiscent of that organically occurring in nature. Actual seashells inspired by Leopold and Rudolf Blashka (a father son duo who invented the crystal modeling of marine life in the 1970s) are worked into the embroidery. 

The earthy nature of the collection is juxtaposed with modern materials like vinyl used to create a craquelé effect.

Above all, be yourself…

“Style is about evolving your own uniform that reflects who you are and how you feel most comfortable. For me that’s often jeans and a T-shirt. I’ve always been into rock music and something kind of sexy and black.”

“You know you’ve seen something good at a fashion show when it makes you reconsider how you want to get dressed in the morning. There are plenty of times when you want to test drive a trend to see if it’s going to become part of the uniform.”

“I wear a lot of jewelry, but it all has meaning — a bracelet given by a dear friend, something that I picked up in a market overseas. It’s like wearing memories. The Guns ‘n’ Roses T-shirts I wear are the ones I was wearing as a teenager.”

“I had this hair color when I was a kid and now I have to fry it — basically white-knuckle it until it’s cooked. I’ve had it this short and this bleached for a long time. Tommy Buckett at Serge Normant has cut my hair since I’ve been in New York.”

“I use Shimmer Lights — it’s this shampoo grannies use, and it’s purple. That’s the only product I use, except for a straightening iron.”

“I don’t really do makeup. It really is about the sunglasses. If you’re tired, no amount of eye cream is going to help you, I find. I only ever wear Ray-Ban Wayfarers — I’ve tried some other ones, but those have emerged as uniform-worthy.”

“It was a great season for coats, and I splurged on a Calvin Klein coat, look seven from the fall/winter show, because a coat is something you wear every day. It’s cozy, fuzzy wool and single breasted, and of course it’s black.”

“It’s either sky-high or Chucks.”

“It is difficult to express just how deeply grateful I am to have had the opportunity at T to learn from such a dynamic editor. Deborah Needleman is a force. Not only is she one of the smartest, savviest editors I have ever worked for, she is also the most generous in spirit and mentorship.”
