With the world's fashion elite once again coming together for the the 2010 New York Fashion Week, it was time to herald in the new looks for Autumn/Fall 2010. However, the 2010 week began on a sad note with the tragic news of Alexander McQueen's death, and in addition to honouring McQueen's death, designers also held a charity show to pay tribute to, and raise money for, earthquake-devastated Haiti.
Despite the somber beginnings however, the New York Fashion Week has set the tone for new season looks, and the new trends to be on the look out for include military-inspired pieces, structured silhouettes and masculine outerwear. While it may be a controversial choice of material, fur was also a prominent feature on the runways, as were micro minis and thigh high boots. And while Autumn is the season for drab and subdued hues, colour still punctuated the runways…
French label Lacoste showed both a women's and menswear collection that featured both sophisticated neutrals and bold jewel tones, while Carolina Herrara's pieces opted for bright, floral pallettes. Marc Jacobs included metallic hues in his runway style, and Diane von Furstenberg's collection was highlighted with bright patterned dresses and blazers.
