With my favourite 60’s decade taking a very definite front seat in the beauty trends of the catwalks, the current AW10 campaigns seem to be spanning all of the decades with retro influences clear to see with designers from Louis Vuitton to Chanel. It seems none of the designers could agree on which decade to be influenced by this season; giving us a wide choice of trends to incorporate into our style.

Here we have a distinctive 1950’s length to these dresses; models posing with an elegant air, and yet the jutting cleavage of the models seem to provoke a ‘strong woman’ image of proud feminine equality that was very much lacking in the Fifties.
(Check out this article in the Daily Mail about how to get the vintage look without looking like you just walked out of a fancy dress store):
Chanel shows Karl Lagerfeld’s powerful touch of gentle femininity mixed with a very obvious nudge to the power shoulder of the 80’s. This trends seems to be here to stay, with versions of it streaming through the catwalks for several seasons now, it seems there’s no stopping the power of the ‘power shoulder’. I love the faux fur which softens the harsh shapes of the oversized shoulder and evens out the model’s silhouette. The eclectic mix of fabrics here brings new dimensions to the look!
