I know we are in the midst of the frenzy that is fall fashion, but you know, we fashion-types are always looking at what’s ahead, what’s next.. What’s ahead is actually what’s already happened. Designers are still having a love affair with the 90’s. This season, they’ve decided to bring in the 70’s to create a threesome of relaxed, soft silhouettes.

There was the sophistication of the minimalist 90’s mixed with some of the great 70’s elements like flouncy, tiered skirts, low-slung belts, and peasant blouses.

Michael Kors 70’s inspired looks

The color palette was minimalist 90’s at it’s best. Primarily black and white with pops of red, and sometimes blue. Beige also made up a good percentage of the palette, while some designers offered up icy pastels, as well.

We were treated to boxy, cropped tops and jackets. The midi skirt is still having a moment, but the car-wash skirt (think multiple strips of fabric swaying to and fro) is a new addition.  The skinny jean is a distant memory, with pants still enjoying loose and cropped cuts. Floral prints are back but in a more modern way.
