Fall 2010 Women's Ready-to-Wear Runway Report

The Fall 2010 runways showed a stripped-down maturity in New York, Milan and Paris. Customers continue to look for quality clothing and designers delivered it to them with newness in longer hemlines, mixes of textures, fabrics and techniques. Structure, architectural design and details were the hallmark of this season.
Coats were a standout from redingotes, reefers & masculine toppers to fur-trimmed parkas. Look for fur accents, beautifully sculpted knits, colour highlights of camel and crimson, poetic + romantic styles, androgynously tailored pieces and those with military influences in store this Fall!

Key Designers

New York: Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, The Row, rag + bone

Milan: Fendi, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Missoni, Marni
