Miuccia Prada’s womenswear collection for Autumn Winter 2013 captured the designer’s vision of “raw elegance” through disheveled glamour. Models strutted down the runways, hair unkempt and lips rouged, to a Hitchcock Heroine film noir music motif. The look juxtaposes high and low elements, where vintage silk slips pair effortlessly under tailored coats and luxe furs. Waistlines are nipped and shoulders exposed, riffing on Fourties’ style silhouettes. To channel Miuccia’s vision, pair plush pieces like Club Monaco’s faux fur vest over a simple black dress, or a rich leather skirt under a cable knit cardigan. Metallic embellishments add an edgy finishing touch here, transcending these ensembles between late night and early morning. As always, this Prada girl is modern, mysterious and perfectly undone.

As temperatures lower, we tend to get into the habit of layering multiple pieces and sometimes go a littler overboard, resulting in a more frumpy than trendy look. Who says you have to stash away those cute minis just to bear the cold? The skater skirt is inspired by figure skaters, whom themselves year round dash out onto the ice for performance in flared miniskirts with a tight waistline, creating a flirtatious and playful look. This elegant skirt is figure flattering for any body type, creating the illusion of a smaller waistline and slimmer hips. Versatile for a variety of pairing tops, the skater skirt is especially paired perfectly with those comfy oversized knits or when rocked with a ladylike blouse.
Shown on many catwalks for Fall/Winter 2012, from designers such as Stella McCartney to Victoria Beckham, this structured piece is a wardrobe essential, updating your closet with some modern sass. With our festive picks, it is guaranteed you’ll score that perfect 10 at the office Christmas party or date night out – no landed triple axel necessary.

In the summer we tend to pare down on our clothing layers. High temperatures lead to simpler outfits that don’t involve so many heat-trapping pieces. While we want to stay cool and collected, there are still occasions where we are required to wear a jacket that either cover up our shoulders or provides some structure to our outfit. Summer outwear is the perfect way to round out your office wardrobe, protect from the elements or top off an evening look. Pick blazers made with light fabric and consider choosing something bright to make your outfit really pop.

Chic, sophisticated and glamorously demure, preppy fashion has long been a timeless style influence on designers, socialites and aristocracy around the world. Ideal for Spring, when clean lines, crisp color blocking, and light accessories drive the style must-haves of the season, prep influence has evolved to blend long-standing staples of the look – sleek pants and skirts, oversized sunglasses, elegant handbags and lady-like tops – with the modern fashion trends, colors and prints of the moment. The result? Classic, preppy elegance with a current, updated feel perfect for uptown, downtown, all-over town wear. Are you prepped for Spring?

There’s never a shortage of glimmer and glitz during the holidays, but the rest of the year can look a little bleak sartorially speaking. If there’s one new piece of style advice we should add to our closets in 2012 it’s that big and small doses of gold transcend the season and the time of day. When paired with austere hues like army green, khaki or denim, a shoe, skirt or accessory piece in a golden shade will add brilliance and interest. Try the new addition to your typical brunch uniform or office outfit and you’ll be golden- literally.

Today, May 16th, is Liberace’s birthday. The highest-paid entertainer through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, he married flamboyant, glittery style with onstage antics decades before Gaga was even born. Liberace owned many an ostentatious outfit to match his equally eye-catching instruments. One of his pianos was famously encrusted with rhinestones. Another was a mirrored grand piano, for which he had a matching silver sequin ensemble and matching mirrored Rolls Royce. The lesson here? If you got it, flaunt it, and the more glitz, the better.

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, and boxing day sales on our side, a lot of us are on the hunt for the perfect evening dress!

Trend # 2 : FRINGE
Denis Gagnon – Available at Reborn, in Old Montreal, and Holt Renfrew stores across Canada.
