Fashion is always ready to be ahead of the times and quick to show advances a year before they come out. Fall 2011 can already be seen hitting the runways with new and interesting looks from various designers. One thing is for sure, the new looks for 2011 are going to have a party girl edge with chic colors. Many designers such as Vera Wang, Christopher Bailey, and Naeem Kahn can be seen using fur, sequins, and color blocks as a new eye-catching look. Along with these trends colors such as pink and purple in darker shades to match the fall mood have also been seen. Vera Wang’s new collection has been called “a glamorous counterpart to her Gothic schoolgirl.” Wang’s designs incorporate a lot of black and have a dressed up feel. A nice contrast to this is that of Monique Lhuillier. Lhuillier has a design that seems to “focus around sensuality.” Her looks use more bubbly colors and upbeat styles that are pretty, sophisticated and happy. Clearly, there’s going to be a large array of styles for Fall 2011. Women are going to have the chance to branch off in their style and choose how they want to look while still being in fashion. What will you choose? Bubbly and sophisticated, or edgey, rocker chic?
