 Its a Winter Wonderful at The Palms

With Winter just around the corner, The Palms is giving its shoppers tips on the coolest and most chic winter trends for 2010. Rachel Wyman, Executive Fashion Editor of Madison Magazine brings us the latest looks seen on the international catwalks.

Rachel Wyman says this winter is about feeling fabulous, “The catwalk trends for winter have translated brilliantly to the racks of the local retailers. The colours and styles mean there is something for everyone and for every occasion”.

The four key looks for the season are:

French Classic Chic The French exude style and this season, one of the key winter looks combines sailor inspired stripes, classic cut jackets and hip-hugging ankle length pants – all in classic black and white, of course! Add a splash of color in deep plums and purples if you want to personalize your look.
Full, Flowing & Fabulous – Fabulously feminine is the look for winter, all the way from London. The trench takes on a longer, fuller look designed to accentuate the waist and flare out with style. Gorgeous dresses that float and sway from blacks and plums to lustrous floral prints are also a must-have. Accessories feature the color purple in all its tones and boots are worn patent or suede, long or short and studded with jewels.
Models Off Duty Roar – For the young and lively, inspiration for this hot look comes in the form of pure animal instinct! From faux fur to cheetah print jerseys and sheers, the look is ‘do it your own way’ sexy. Skirts are wrapped or layered very short. Transform the look ‘bohemian’ with unconstructed faux fur jackets and coats, printed handbags and retile inspired bracelets. It’s the look that travels from day into night roaring individual style all the way.
Disco Glam Shimmers – This fashion look is both retro and edgy but it’s glam all the way featuring the slinkiest figure-hugging dresses that shimmer in sequins and metallics. Girls, dress it up – you can’t dress it down – with the highest heels or buckled boots. Accessories sparkle too with bold jewel rings and jewel encrusted necklaces. As for colour, it’s basic black with a splash of blue, purple, silver or gold.
