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.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies… This season’s fascination with kaleidoscopic prints recalls the Beatles’ 1967 chart-topper, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, riffing on elements of perspective and tantalizing the eye. Marc Jacobs and Miuccia Prada both conjured this look on Fall 2012 runways and added a finishing element of holographic appliques for a modern take on the decade. Variegated prints pack a punch, offering a blend of whimsical Bohemia and prismatic futurism. Try pieces with opalescent embellishments, like the gems on Anthropologie’s beaded clutch, as these details elevate the Sixties inspired aesthetic, for a novel approach to the frequently revisited era.

Precise pleats are the season’s hottest detail when it comes to playing with easy and luxurious volume. There was monumental movement on the Spring/Summer 2012 runways of Chloé, Prada and Aquilano Rimondi, where shapes skimmed and flowed to create the ultimate feminine silhouette with details of accordion, knife and crystal pleats. The ethereal effect of the perfectly pleated piece adds volume without bulk, so both slight and curvier trendsetters can get a structured, slimming look with strong style content.
Work these pleats into your wardrobe with lightweight fabrics that are cool and breezy to suit the hot summer temperatures. Will you be pretty in pleats this season?

What do Twiggy, Edie Sedgwick and Foxy Brown (We’re talking Beyonce in her Austin Powers garb) have in common? Not only are they mod style icons but they can also work a killer frock!
The sixties are back this fall and it’s groovy baby! Think short straight-lined dresses, cute tunics, swing coats, minis and tall boots. Key elements are bold colours, geometric prints and big buttons. Don’t forget to complete the look with some over-the-top black eye makeup.
The times were all about being fun and fabulous. In our opinion, that kind of mentality should never go out of style! So let these looks inspire you to free your inner mod girl. You might even find yourself shimmying along to the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout”.

Talking trends in furs, dots, lace and colour – now it’s on to the mane event. Check out our favourite hair-raising looks for Fall 2011.
Pony Up
The ponytail may be your go-to hairstyle, but the catwalk calls for a sleek presentation. Go high, low or experiment with variations a la Prada. Finish your look by wrapping the base with your locks, as seen at Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.

Decorate
Fall is about decadence, so accessorize accordingly. Embellish your ‘do with sparkly baubles, floral barrettes and metal pins. Plumes remain pretty, but look for deeper tones and fuller feathers to suit the season (Gucci designer Frida Giannini approves). Just be sure to streamline with a single focal point to avoid looking like a grade school disaster.

Make it Mod
The mod look is on point right now, so make your mane follow suit. Think big! Volumize your locks and finish with soft waves to channel the sassy models at Anna Sui. Feeling brave? Make like Twiggy and go bold with a sharp cut and voluminous shape. Bottega Veneta saw the retro bouffant look of the mod years, but we like how
stars like Rihanna and Zooey Deschanel have worn them – half up, a subtle pouf and big volume.

It’s hard to ignore Prada‘s SS2011 bold take on one of our perennial favourites- stripes! So if you’re bored of sticking to spring’s replayed trends (read: colour blocking and blush hues), try this season’s most lust-worthy look- the bolder the better! This ‘go big or go home’ trend has us venturing from our classic nautical stripe comfort zone to head to toe (and sometimes mismatched) stripes.
