The shows from New York, to London, Milan and Paris, are over. The reviews are in, trends predicted...Paris was the icing on the fashion cake; with shows from Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Celine, Chanel amongst more, they told the story of an amazing season ahead of us this year.
The majority of the fash-pack were trying to understand what John Galliano was thinking about, and what was going to come of his role at Christian Dior. As yet, his successor at the Parisian house, is still unknown (front runners include Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy) and his reputation lies in tatters, whilst he is rumoured to be in rehab in Arizona.
As usual, the shows in Paris cement the trends for each season, and most of the mainstream styles come from Paris. The season looks dark - muddy colours, rich burgundy, warm rust as well as strong AW classic monochrome. However, Burberry and Chloe also showed brights for the season, so there is room for colour.

Oversized sequins, shown at Christopher Kane, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton and Prada in Milan are appropriate for evening without being flashy.

Polka dots are a key detail - Prada, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Stella showed us how to make these modern and not
passé.

Final words on the season - loose fluid trousers, tunic or shift dress, a cocoon coat, check or tartan and just a hint of fetish/S&M. What does that mean? It's FUN! Don't take it too seriously...
