Maternity Fall Fashion 2009

October 26th, 2009

With everything constantly changing each season, (the leaves, your belly, the trends) it may be a bit hard to keep up. When a new style comes in for the season the Trend Setter doesn’t always accommodate for all the pregnant women. Most of the time our bellies won’t fit in all the cute new styles. So we have gathered up some tips for this fall so you can still look fashionably up to date.

 A TAILORED JACKET There is a return to tailoring and sophistication this season. While we won’t do to well in a tailored waist dress, who said we can’t do a tailored jacket. Be sure to purchase a tailored maternity jacket since it will be the base point of every woman’s wardrobe this season. The great thing about a tailored maternity jacket is that it can give your wardrobe personality. It’s the thing you can build around. Tip: Mix it up with a fitted comfy dress or your favorite designer maternity jeans and some boots.

MASSIVE NECKLACES Well this is something we haven’t seen for quite some time. Necklaces with colored stones and crystals that are big, inventive and architectural. While most will be able to pull off these massive necklaces we need to be on the more careful side. We don’t want to wear anything that gives off too much attention because it will take away our belly. Tip: Look for more simple necklaces with medium to small sized stones and crystals.

TOP-HANDLED BAG If you change anything up this season be sure to replace your slouchy-pouchy hobo purse with a ladylike top-handled bag in a yummy fall tone of aubergine, putty, camel, dark green, or chocolate. It doesn‘t matter how much you spend on the bag just know that you have an on-trend must-have. Tip: If you’re like me and can’t seem to break your black bag habit, then at least try to choose a black with a little shine, a crackled finish, or some hardware that really lifts the black up.

BANGIN’ BOOTIES Whether it’s the scrunchy boot, a mid-calf, or an over-the-knee boot, we think the boot is the most important shoe of the season. We love them with heels, stilettos, or flats…we love them all. It’s really about a boot wardrobe this season. And it looks fantastic with every single item in your closet. Tip: Pair your boots with a flowy maternity dress.

A SENSATIONAL SHIRT No longer just for secretaries or 80’s working girl, the bow-neck shirt is a pretty way to freshen up for fall – provided you proceed with a healthy dose of fashion-forward. If you’re wearing a bow shirt, it shouldn’t be too conservative. You don‘t want to look like you‘re running for office. Look for a feminine and pretty version with small ruffles. Tip: Pair with an edgy boot or accessory.

THOU SHALT NOT’s

BABYDOLLS If it’s too voluminous, it needs to go. Put baby dolls in the back of the closet! Those need to go away for a while because we really are celebrating the natural shape of the body, curves and all, with a longer, leaner more tailored silhouette. 

BIG PANTS While it’s a great season for trousers, not all pants need apply. Be sure that your pant doesn’t have too big of a flair.

FAB FLORALS, NOT PAINTERLY PRINTS The painterly splashes we saw were very much the print of the season, but obviously that’s a summer look, so put that back in the back as well. Switch them out for a lighter, more natural floral with a dark background so it looks more relevant to the colder weather.

Victoria Beckham; Fashion Designer Extraordinaire

October 20th, 2009

Victoria Beckham has just launched her second collection of designer clothes in New York and it would seem that this collection has been received well by the fashion critics.   I have to say that apart from the price tag (ranging from £900 to £4000) these clothes look wearable, even for the average woman, not just film stars, pop singers and socialites.  The dresses are chic and cut simply with a great deal of attention to detail.  Unlike some designers whose cat walk collections are prototype exaggerations of clothes women might wear, Victoria’s range is definitely ready to wear.

 

I can’t help thinking that Victoria has designed clothes with her own body shape in mind, but who can blame her!  What woman wouldn’t like the opportunity to have clothes made to exactly to her taste and body shape?   Often, when I am looking for clothes, I have a very definite idea in my mind of what I am looking for, and often I have to compromise on colour or cut.   Imagine being able to pick something up and have it made in a different colour! 

 

Victoria Beckham is tiny and has a perfect hourglass figure.  The clothes in her collection are cut for curves and narrow shoulders.  An “inverted triangle” might struggle with the boat neck lines which would accentuate the breadth of the shoulder and the draping fabrics and fitted waist lines would be challenging for “rectangles”.   Most of the dresses are in basic neutral colours that will withstand the years and the designs are classic enough to last more than one season.

 

 I am somewhat sceptical about how much “designing” Victoria has done.   Designers train for years at art school and still don’t make it.  I wonder if she actually draws the pictures herself or whether she has a “sketcher” who puts her ideas into drawings.  I have no doubt that she has put a great deal of thought into what she wanted to achieve and made all the decisions about the final cut.  Her detailed knowledge of every dress is very evident.  

 

While I cannot justify the price tag, I am glad to see a collection of attractive and interesting yet wearable clothes and I wish Victoria Beckham well with this venture.
