Top Trends From Fall 2012

The strongest trends seen on the runways this season, from the breakthrough shape to the latest inspiration.

The Color:  Golden Child


Designers envisioned a gilded fall, rich with sequins, paillettes, and glittered sheen.

The Treatment:  Wax On


 A laminated finish stood out on the runways in the form of outerwear, separates and accessories.

The Pattern: Fenced In   


Intricate latticework sparked the pattern, print and embroidery designs in collections from Balmain to Rodarte.

The Theme:  Military Minded  


Designers brought a fresh appeal to traditional military garb—from the peacoat to the epaulette— with luxe fabrics and fitted silhouettes

The Item: Suit Up  


Forget the statement skirt, this season it's all about the pantsuit. Whether it's a cropped and flared retro pair, or a modern layered ensemble, designers resurrected the pantsuit for fall.

The Era: Shakespeare in Love  


From designs that mimicked tapestries to ornate baroque flourishes, the fall runways exuded a Renaissance spirit

The Fabric: Velvet Underground  


Perfect for the crisp fall weather, designers from Gucci to Ralph Lauren endorsed soft velvet as the texture of the season.

The Silhouette:  Room to Grow  


Bigger is better, as designers from Phoebe Philo at Céline to Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga proved with their oversized outerwear and roomy trousers.
