HOW TO TIE THE TREND

White sheer top with bow Kensie, $74.Yellow high-waisted skirt Tiger of

Sweden. Crinoline Vintage. Bow andrope belt Seventy, $178.

1. PRIM ANDPROPERTommy Hilfiger –

Oversized bows on chif-

fon tops were all over

the Hilfiger catwalks.

Monochromatic tones

bring a cohesiveness

to the look.

2. SWEET CAKESChanel – Karl Lagerfeld

brings sugar back to

spice. This knockout

bow-collared Chanel

dress is paired with pink

tights. It’s all pulled

together for a feminine

look with black

Mary Janes.

3. BROCADEMADEMichael Kors – Who

said bows are for

blouses? Michael Kors

shows us how brocade

can do a bow right,

even at night.

This ultra-feminine trend that surfaced lastspring is staying for another season. TommyHilfiger placed collared bows on his sheerflowing blouses, pairing them with heavierstructured skirts. At Chanel, Karl Lagerfeldsent chiffon bow-detailed dresses downhis catwalk.

HOW TO WEAR THEM

1. STURDYHEADGEARRichard Nicoll – The

Australian designer who

graduated from Central

Saint Martins was

inspired by the Amish

persuasion and added

a touch of organza.

Oversized top hats

dominated his catwalk.

2. BLACK MAGICDior – Pairing a top

hat with a trench isn’t

necessarily a common

trend. But if there is any

house that can get away

with it, it’s Dior. Take it

from them: a top hat can

be worn any day, even

with your fall coat.

3. BOYSALLOWEDThom Browne - The

theatrically inspired

Thom Browne collection

had boys join in on the

top hat fun. Stretched

top hats made their way

down his runways.

TOP HATSTop hats capped off the

androgynous theme this season.Worn with a suit or skirt, they werefeatured by Junya Watanabe, Baby

Phat and Vivienne Westwood,among others.

HOW TO DO IT RIGHT

Purple dress Cake Clothing,$225. Black rhinestone beltVersace, $200. RosettesThink Joanna, $40–$75.

1. BLACK ROSESChanel – Found in the

Chanel fall collection,

this stunning black

number features subtle

rosette detailing on the

hip and shoulder.

2. LATE BLOOMERBluMarin - Rosettes were

found all over BluMarin’s

fall collection. The all-

over pink rosettes create

dynamic volumes. Add

more blooms with a

matching clutch adorned

with rosettes!

3. BIGGER =BETTERVera Wang – Think bags

and sunglasses are the

only things oversized?

Gown guru Vera Wang

designs oversized

rosettes that are hard

to miss.

STOP ANDSMELL THEROSETTESSummer’s floral trend has continued tobloom into fall in the form of rosettes.This season, floral shapes are morestructural, and they’re sprouting up allover the runways. Chloe, Giambattista Valliand Marchesa were thinking flower power(but not the ’70s kind) this year.

HOW TO TAP THE TREND

Sheer black cropped top Mellinda-MaeHarlingten, $300. Black flapper dressVelvet, $240. Black sheer nylons Secret,$8.95. Fur Vintage. Feather headbandLilliput Hats, $225. Black 1920s neck-lace MiMi+You, $150. Oversized bluering Swarovski, $280.

1. FEATHEREDFROCKNaeem Khan – With a back-

ground designing for royalty

in India, Naeem Khan can

show us how to work a ’20s

look. This all-over feathered

dress is perfect for a night

out. The long, loose feathers

at the hemline “flap” as

you move.

2. SPARKINGSILVERDiane von Fürstenberg –

As this Fürstenberg flapper

dress shows, it’s still safe

to wear metallic this year.

Just remember to leave

your sparklies at home: this

number is shiny enough

to go without accessories.

3. BEST VESTZac Posen – Superstar Zac

Posen goes flapper with this

black and red sequined

dress. Though it gives the

illusion of an oversized vest,

Posen allows tassels to peek

out from the hemline for a

more modern look.

FLAPPERCLAPPER

The Roaring ’20s was the decade of theflapper. Loose-fitting dresses featuredstraight lines with “flaps” that bouncedup to show the knees of the dancers.Almost a century later, styles may beless conservative, but we still love the

provocative look of flaps when we dance!

moss-green plaid suit

and breaks it up with

a linear graphic vest.
