Mix & Match in FW 09

    Unlike SS 09, AH 09 is rounded with the joy of 80s and the strength of power rock.
    Marc Jocobs and Balmain are the stars of these two styles.
    I wanna starts from Marc Jacobs' part. Balmain's part will be in next post, wait then.

    Spotted: Neon lights, Oversized jacket& Capes, skinny jeans, peg leg pants(jumpsuits), pattern, accesories

    Here are the spotlight of the trend "points".

    Neon lights

    Especially this season, the fade of 70s bohemian turn to be the 80s' Disco style
    , the joy grows higher than the past few years. With this cheer from fashion world, it seems we have the great arms to defend the financial crisis.

    points: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jeremy Scott(always!), Jean Paul Gautier

    Marc's coat this season got the glamour of 80s, great spotlight of the whole style
    with this, you could only got your skinny jeans on, bringin' on your Balenciaga Giant clutch.



    This is very good one for beginner to start their Disco journey
    catch up the AH08 and SS09 's laced cloths, the AH09 capes and SS10's structure cutting



    The lookalike laced things still pop, you could find out some laced gloves or stockings. If they are from Christian Lacroix, that's better...
    The Marc Jacobs coat with some lace pattern.




    Jeremy Scott is famous for his american humor. I really adore his collections, but it's not my daily wear type. I'm not sure if he got the idea of the AH09 collection from Mickey mouse, but it's cool.



    I'm afraid if you got his collection dressed, it might make you look very old.
    The colors he chose needs to be match carefully, black and white are always the best friends for you.




    I'm really doubt if button things would be a trend in SS10, whatever, it's a nice try for you to outshine others.




    Actually, I don't wear fur things. But JPG made the fur so glamour this season. Simple and powerful. Represent the upper east women in 80s as I think.



    Why I put Jean Paul Gautier to this part? He really got me overwhelmed with the shodowing stockings, unlike Chanel, it's very sexy and independent(I don't know why, but I do feel so.)
    The purple shodowing stockings really got the point of 80s glamour.




    I wish I could buy one :p

    Oversized jacket& Capes


    Oversized jacket has become a trend since last autume. This season jackets are turned into more ladylike. Unlike the dandylook. We emphasis the V cutting in the front sight. Using some satin fabric makes the jacket more feminine.

    If you don't want to take your jacket too much feminine, then try on some special cutting like structure. It's might not easy to match, the tips for matching a strutural jacket is to keep parts simple. A printed tee and a peg leg pants/ skinny jeans could always handle the situation. Remember to wear your high-to-kill heels, it keeps yourself look slender as always.

    Capes brings up a new trend this season. It's very easy to use capes to build your own style with different types of capes.

    points: Prada, Dries Van Noten, Marc Jacobs and Dolce& Gabbana

    Prada's new collection is not my type( the ss09 collection really shocks me!) I renamed the collection as the blue collar collection, reminding me of the hardworking labors. But I think the music in the show is pretty cool, you can find it in the fashion spot.

    The reason that I put Prada into the 80s Disco part is to seperate the whole matching types of these brands, Prada could make the 80s' dresses a little bit more mature. It's could decrease the light colour part, if you don't wanna make yourself too cocky or like a star. Prada's coat could be your best choise to put on.


    In fact, once I wanna put this red coat into the RED part. So many red cloths exsist this season. If you wear on this coat ,please don't keeps the buttons fastened. It might make your booty bigger! That's awful.


    Dries Van Noten's colour choosing is really way out of my mind this season, so bright to be true. It's almost like crayon colors. I suggest to put on your pumpkin pants , tartan pants or leather leggings rather than wearing the pants in the collection.


    This kind of garlic yellow is also a trendy color in this season. If you got some more money, try on some garlic yellow cloths( bags or braceletes are better choices).


    Dolce & Gabbana's autume collection is not that glamour as usual, but I do like the capes in this collection.
    The tips to match this kind of big shouldered capes is to decrease other parts on yourself, follow Kate Lamphear's daily wear is the best choice.




    If you are a Disco fan, then Marc's capes and coats could be your first choice in the coming season.




    Leather and spangle fabric are trendy meterials in fw09.

    Skinny Jeans, Peg Leg Pants(Jumpsuits),


    Skinny jeans is all over everywhere, this season it has some tiny things changed. Zigzagged skinny could be a must buy.
    Peg Leg Pants is a trend brought by Katie Holmes. Pants becomes more structural and three dimensional with the days coming.
    Jumpsuits are not that hot these days, but some Neon coloured jumpsuits are still worth to buy.
    Because it's more like high street style, so I'd rather take some special pieces to make a tutorial.

    points: PHI, Christian Dior

    PHI's skinny leggings is on my list in autume. It's very useful in daily wear. Nothing better to say, I LOVE IT.





    Christian Dior's collection this season is SCARRY. I can't find anything good to praise. But the meterial John used to make the peg eg pants is very nice. The satin fabric keeps the feminine, but the cutting somehow brings up the dandylook for the whole style.
    I suggest to use some Rider's Jacket to balance the pants' visual part. Heels better use boots.

    Pattern& Accesories


    Animal pattern is a trend in fw09 and ss10. The best way to use pattern things is to focus on one part, keeps other parts clean. If you don't use it well, it might makes you slotty. If you wanna wear patter skirt, then you could put on your white shirt and a pair of clean black heels

    point: Dolce& Gabbana, Blumarine










    This is not a good example, if I could, I would turn the patterned jacket into white rider's jacket.


    The accesories part I will find time to fill it up, this article really takes a lot of time. Wish you like it.
