Fashion Snoops Forecast Report

HITCHCOCK
40's austerity and elegance emulated chiefly from the Prada and Lanvin collections. With reference to Hitchcock's female heroines and wool skirt suits influenced by World War II, double breasted belted jackets and details like exaggerated shoulders and lapel shawl collars are important.

Color:
    camel tones dominate the palette
    a dose of masculine gray and black

Key Accessories:
    structured handbags
    driver gloves
    pearls
    crocodile skins
    wide-brim hats







RENAISSANCE
Continuing the literal translation of combating the rough economy with a warrior-like aesthetic, Joan of Arc comes back in the scene with a dose Robin Hood. The look is medieval to the point of molded breastplates and fabrics include boiled wool, fur trim and chainmail knits. Prada's vision of medieval leather sliced dresses was particularly impactful.

Color:
    earth-rooted and forest colors come together in a heraldic Coat of Arms sensibility
    berries sit next to deep olive and pop against neutrals

Key Items:
    skinny pants with a riding aesthetic
    cozy cardigans
    over-the-knee boots
