Now since my credentials do not warrant me tickets to the coveted shows (yet), I've been following them on Elle.com so I don't miss out on the buzz. I've picked out a few trends that are popping up all over the runways to bring you a breakdown of what to expect when Autumn rolls around.
Trendspotting #1 - Fur
It seems more and more designers are embracing their animal instinct and using fur absolutely anywhere and everywhere for this season. Now, since the collections are debuting as we speak, I can't be sure what is real and what is faux. But please don't PETA me, I'm just the messenger. Word on the twitter street is that a few hours ago Marc by Marc Jacobs just sent an entire faux fur line down the runway so that soon we can all afford to indulge. Unfortunately there aren't any pics posted quite yet... but here are a couple of hot looks so far.

Trendspotting #2 - Jewel-tone Color
Steel blue, emerald green, deep purple, chartreuse, and ruby seemed to be the colors of choice for the designers, showing that Fall doesn't have to be dark and grey.

Trendspotting #3 - Thigh High Leggings
Of course we are all familiar with leggings, jeggings (jean leggings), and tights - Oh My! But this season we are seeing thigh high leggings all over the place, and I have a feeling they're going to be a hit. Notice that Jill Stuart touched on the trend with thigh high socks under knee high boots in the photos above. Below are a few more ways it was done.

Trendspotting #4 - Belts with a Purpose
Whether they have attached pockets, pouches to keep your things, or a design that adds a whole new element of style to the outfit, belts are stepping up and proving they can be great multi-taskers and they deserve to be noticed.

Trendspotting #5 - Posh Prairie
This trend will let you channel your inner "Little House on the Prairie" desires and frolic through the meadows (or walk down the street) in these sweet and innocent looks with a twist.

Rodarte Fall 2010
With the collections and trends that have shown up so far, I can definitely say that I am excited for the Fall. Designers seem to be pushing themselves yet doing so in a way that can be easily translated to the everyday consumer. I will keep you posted on the last few days of NY Fashion Week and let you know what other trends I see coming.
Dress on!
