You have seen it everywhere this season. First on the runway, then on the covers of magazines, inside magazines, on red carpet and finally on celebs’ candids. Star print is the new leopard. At least for now. The print has blown the fashion world when Dolce & Gabbana have showcased their Fall/Winter 2011 collection this year. Everything from shift dresses to shoes has been covered with stars – big stars, small stars, different size stars. The pieces come in solid and shimmering gold finishes in various colors and on different fabrics. So you’ve got the idea. Star print is very trendy.

Olivia Wilde

Celebs wore most star-printed pieces from the collection including starry pants and sheer maxi dresses. Fashionistas from Kim Kardashian to Jessica Alba has tried a new print on and amazingly enough the star print suits almost everybody, though I’m not personally a fan of oversize stars. I’m wondering why music note print hasn’t got that popular.

So how does one, very trendy fashionista wear this star print? You could wear it casually in short dresses and pants adding bold hues in tops and cardigans, footwear and accessories. If you plan an evening out or something little more official you can go with a midi dress with a high neck or a sexy low-cut lace trimmed decollete. If you like to shine there are star-printed pieces finished with sequins and paillettes. Sheer clothes must can be worn with a black or nude body or slip underneath it, just make sure the nude matches your skin tone as much as possible.

Rose McGowan

Accessorize star print with even bolder accessories like bejeweled bags and clutches and shiny footwear. Any other prints around? Throw’em in just make sure it all looks stylish, not overdone. Though it’s hard not to overdo when you’re mixing prints. Go with bold accessories like earrings, other jewelry, footwear, and bags. And if your budget is tight Topshop and Oasis have got starry options for you.

Florence Welsh, who has been a muse to Karl Lagerfeld and Gucci, is planning to team up with her stylist Aldene Johnson to design a range for Topshop.

A source close to Florence Welsh says:

Florence wants it to reflect her eclectic, quirky style. She has thousands of unique pieces, everything from vintage gowns to garments she’s been given by Karl Lagerfeld, and would love to work with Aldene to create a line inspired by her wardrobe, like Kate Moss did.”

Florence Welsh’s decision to design for Topshop isn’t surprising as she has worked with the store before when Topshop designers created a series of bespoke stage costumes for her.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #1: Androgyny. The whole world seems to be changing. Men become more like women and women strive to look and act like men. Fashion just can’t stay aside of this global trend. And as a result we see mannish shirts, suits, boots, and hats in majority of Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 designer collections: Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Sonia Rykiel, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, and others.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #2: Color. For colder seasons designers normally prefer using neutral or reserved colors like black, brown, navy, cream, dark violet, etc. However, Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections abound in brighter hues like crimson, neon orange, purple, sky blue and others. Besides, these eye-popping tones can come in daring combinations. See Haider Ackermann, Alberta Ferretti, Victoria Beckham, Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry Prorsum, and other designers and brands for inspiration. (Read COLOR TRENDS FOR FALL/ WINTER 2011/ 2012)

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #3: Fetish. This trend has come very unexpected. The most surprising thing is that so many designers have taken it so seriously. Marc Jacobs has built both Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs collections on fetish and domitatrix themes. Gaga’s favorite designer Mugler, Giles, Antonio Berardi, Marios Schwab as well as Viktor & Rolf and Givenchy have all featured this Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 trend in their ranges.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #4: Texture Overload. Everything is mixed in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections. Silk comes along with fur and knitwear, sequins and leather make a perfect combination and even plastic goes well with chiffon and wool. Sounds crazy? It does. And it does look a bit crazy, too.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #5: 40s Elegance. Fashion repeats itself. In Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 40s elegance is again a hot trend. The best approach to reinvent this fashion era has been realized by Gucci, John Galliano, Miu Miu, and Jonathan Saunders.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #6: Midi and Maxi skirts. Miniskirts are always popular, especially with teenagers. But for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 you better embrace the longer length skirts. These can look as sexy as minis because your sex appeal depends on how you wear your clothes, not the type of clothing you wear. Find midis and maxis in Dries Van Noten, Chloe, Balenciaga, Roland Mouret, Antonio Marras, St.John and other designer collections.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #7: Prints. The variety of prints in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections is huge: from tiny polka dots in Gucci and broken glass in Stella McCartney to girly paisley in Anna Sui and bold flowers in Versace. There are also baroque prints in Jonathan Saunders, photographic flowers at Giambattist Valli, Miu Miu’s glittering spring flowers, enlarged feathers at Ungaro, panthers in Givenchy’s, and plenty of other prints in other designer collections. You just need to understand what print you want because you can have everything.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #8: Pleats and Frills. While gender play trend is going forward at a steady gait some designers think femininity should be preserved. It’s the greatest news for those girls who don’t want to transform into strong and courageous men and prefer to remain fragile women. Pleats, frills, cute rosettes and lovely embroidery help us look romantic. And we sometimes want to look romantic, don’t we? Prettiest pleats can be found in Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and Christian Dior Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collections.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #9: Zoological. Besides zoological prints, like leopard and python, to which we have already got accustomed due to the fact every single season designers use these in their creations, in Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 ranges we see lots of feathers, wild animals printed on fabric (Givenchy, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Topshop and Ungaro), hats in shape of lions and panthers at Anna Sui, etc. Fashion goes really wild.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #10 Chunky Knit Sweater. .Fall and winter are cold seasons, so there is no wonder why designers have included warm chunky sweaters into their collections. Missoni is the main producer of knitted sweaters. You can see a great variety of knitted items in their Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 line.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #11: Fur. As with sweaters, fur is the perfect material for winter. And it looks chic, too. But with the severe struggle to protect animals designers have become wiser and started using more faux fur than genuine one. One more interesting tendency to note – designers make real fur look like fake and fake fur look like genuine. (Read all about fur trend for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012.)

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #12: Leather. Fur and leather often come together. Indeed, they make a great combination. For Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 fashion season leather is a big trend. You can go for a total leather look like Hermes offers or restrict yourself to separate items or even details in leather. (Read all about leather trend for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012.)

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #13: Layers. Despite the fact fashion experts often criticize layered looks layers are the best for colder time. The more layers, the warmer you feel, unless your layers aren’t too slinky of course. See layered looks by Gucci, Christian Dior and others.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #14: Coats. Fall and winter are all about outerwear. Coats designers have offered us this season are all very diverse. Opt for a military coat from Versace, youthful and sexy cropped trench from Burberry, or luxury coat from Michael Kors or Gucci. Oscar de la Renta suggests cropped hooded coats trimmed with fur. Hermes insists we should try wider poncho style coats. As you see the variety is almost unlimited. Just go for any piece you like!

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #15: Wide cropped trousers. This is the shape of trousers many women try to avoid thinking those will look really unflattering. However, if styled well such trousers can look fantastic.

Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 Fashion Trend #16: Sheer. Sheer trend isn’t the wisest for fall and winter but it is still popular. Best sheer dresses, skirts and blouses are in Christian Dior, Gucci, Alexander Wang, Mugler, Blumarine and Michael Kors collections.

Kate Bosworth was all-dressed up in Burberry pieces: pencil skirt pavéd with spikes and studs, leather biker jacket and a pair of matching ankle boots.

She commented on her outfit:

Everybody is asking me if it hurts to sit down with the studs, but it doesn’t at all, it’s just very heavy.”

Alexa Chung proudly showcased her neon blue bag from Burberry Brights handbag collection. Rachel Bilson chose to wear a pair of high-heeled Burberry boots from Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 range.

Chloe Green and her famous father and Topshop tycoon Sir Philip Green also attended the Burberry Prorsum Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 fashion show. The girl said she worked on her first women’s wear collection that was planned to launch in November.

She said:

I haven’t named it yet. Hmmm. Maybe I should call it Project One?”

People who hadn’t been invited to the show could watch it live at Burberry stores across the globe as well as on Piccadilly’s main screen.

Full skirts. For Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season we see the return of full skirts that used to be hot in 1970s. And while some of us do not really consider these as sexy or interesting men have quite the contrary opinion. They love watching a girl walking in a full skirt and believe such pieces look incredibly feminine. Besides, they do leave a lot to imagination.

Designs of full skirts of this season are very diverse that allows every woman choosing a piece that suits her particular figure. There are long and sheer skirts or shorter and fuller versions. And Salvatore Ferragamo offers assymetrical styles.

Wide pants. Wide pants have also come to us from the far 70s. They are comfy, stylish and often elegant. But there are plenty of more modern and youthful designs.

High-waisted wide pants. Wide leg trouser with high waist comes as one possible form of wide pants which are totally trendy in Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season. These are seen all over the runways and are already hitting the streets.

Create the retro look with floaty tops, platforms and skinny belts and get ready for the flattering attention of your fashionista friends. Find this trend in collections of Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch and other designers.

Pajamas. You will be surprised to know that couturiers want us to wear pajamas as outwear this Spring/ Summer 2011. They consider it as quite comfortable to don such items outside of your boudoir. See trendy pieces in ranges by Thakoon, AOS, Topshop, Paul Smith and others.

Shorts. Shorts are comfy while being very stylish, which makes them so popular with women all over the world. In Spring/ Summer 2011 designers offer customers a great variety of shorts designs, from those ready to be worn to office to quite short and daring pairs.

Shirt-dresses. While the combination of words seems to be ridiculous the pieces of this style look very pretty on the Spring/ Summer 2011 runway. Tommy Hilfiger offers a womanly variant of the dress, Viktor & Rolf suggest trying asymmetrical design while Paul Smith sees women wearing longer mannish frocks.

Sheer fabrics. Trend for sheer fabrics has been with us for a while already. It seems that long sheer skirts are the most popular for Spring/ Summer 2011. However, one can find loads of sheer dresses, blouses and tops on the runway, too.

Lace. If you want some of your flesh to be seen through the fabric you can either go for a lace trend of Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season. Every brand from Dolce & Gabbana to Issa offers some kind of sexy lace. Some pieces are entirely made of lace, others have tempting lace insets. It’s you who can choose what to wear though. The number of versions is huge. (See LACE AS S/S 2011 TREND.)

Maxi dresses. This type of dresses never goes out of vogue. Every fashion season we see many floor-sweeping gowns on the runway but in Spring/ Summer 2011 the number of maxis has increased significantly. Dresses have become airier, lighter, and more flowing. And majority of items come with prints.

To see maxi dresses look through Alberta Ferreti, Carolina Herrera, Gianfranco Ferre’s and other collections.

Tail dresses. Welcome the new and pretty unexpected Spring/ Summer 2011 trend – tail dresses!!! The runway abounded with tail dresses – shorter and sexier, of average length and even long and red-carpet-ready gowns.

Floral print. Just a couple of fashion seasons back we celebrated the popularity of floral print. And here it is again, more diverse than before thanks to Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera and Christian Dior. (See S/S 2011 FLORAL TREND.)

Leopard print. Alas and alack! But leopard print is again trendy. See how Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry Prorsum and Rebecca Taylor see the pattern incorporated into our wardrobes.

White dresses. White is always one of the most popular colors but for Spring/ Summer 2011 it is one of the hottest trends. And it is most notable on dresses, both short and long. Dresses come in minimalistic style, with frills and fringing, sheer and trimmed with lace.

Bright colors. During Spring/ Summer 2011 black and darker hues are not trendy but brighter tones are very popular. Lemon yellow and orange are the best. (See S/S 2011 COLOR TRENDS.)

Fringing. Fringe is an interesting trend. It can transform the look into a real work of art or ruin it completely. Softer version of fringing looks cute and womanly. But fringe on cowboy-inspired garments looks more brutal and tougher.

Belts. Extensive use of belts has become fashionable last season and until now belts do not lose their popularity. Wear a belt with a dress to accentuate your midriff, pair it with a skirt or trousers to finish the look, or add a piece to make the outfit more unusual.

Minimalism. While many interesting details that decorate women’s clothes have been created some ladies still prefer to wear minimalistic garments in Calvin Klein’s style. It is good time to go now as during Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season minimalism is an essential trend.

The fact that surprised me a lot was that Kate Moss was considered the Best-Dressed Woman Of The Decade. I don’t really think she dresses well. She often looks scruffy and untidy. However, I can’t but admit that her style has been very influential. Her collections for Topshop flew off shelves and people tried to copy Kate’s style as much as they could.

Vogue style director Alexandra Kotur said:

At every moment Kate Moss has looked chic and cool. No one has had more influence for the past decade on the way women have dressed than Kate Moss.”

What I do agree with is that Lady Gaga is The Visionary. (Check out Lady Gaga’s Profile) Her bizarre outfits have become the inspiration for millions of girls.

Ms Kotur said of Lady Gaga’s style:

Lady Gaga speaks for herself – talk about being an individual. She’s that in a heightened sense. She doesn’t step out the door unless she’s in a whole look that’s very well thought out and has a purpose. When she met The Queen she wore an outfit that referred back to Elizabeth I. There’s thought that’s put into everything. She really, truly is the individual.”

The First Lady Michele Obama has also been included into Vogue Magazine’s Best-Dressed List. She was named the most independent because there is ‘no better example of fashion democracy’.

Ms Kotur commented:

What she has done is so wonderful in that there’s a spotlight on her and she’s opened up the vocabulary. She mixes high and low, she mixes J Crew with Gaultier. It’s that pairing of something not so expensive with something that’s a little higher end that’s worth celebrating.”

Speaking about the parameters that were taken into account while selecting women to compile the Best-Dressed List Ms Kotur said:

We chose people who were thinking out of the box, women who look as if they’re wearing what they really wanted to wear. The whole Vogue editorial team and fashion staff brainstormed to come up with the list. Our parameters were to highlight from the year, and the overarching theme that we observed was to recognize an emphasis on the individual.”

This is great news but I’m not really sure Kate will be able to represent Dior and be the ambassador for Rimmel at the same time. Anyway, nothing has been confirmed yet. We’ll see how it turns out.

Kate has been working for Topshop for four years and designed 14 collections, majority of which were incredibly successful and flew away from shelves pretty fast. Now, when her era is over, Kate can look back with satisfaction. She has done what she could and even more.

She said:

When we started the project we didn’t have an end in mind but I’m really proud of all 14 collections. I’ve learned a lot about the design and development process; experiences that I’d only ever seen informally through being a model.”

To launch her last, fourteenth collection, Kate Moss appeared wearing a custom-made, daring, plunging sparkly black jumpsuit. She looked very good in it. With her blonde hair teased into tumbling curls, as well as a dash of bright red lipstick on a fresh-looking face Kate looked more than a little like 60′s screen siren Brigitte Bardot.

Together with Kate’s final collection, Topshop is also planning to release Kate Iconic, a capsule collection of the supermodel’s 10 most popular designs.

Kate’s final collection is available to buy in store and online now.

The Topshop lookbook we see here is the result of this collaboration. And as far as I can see the result is good. There are lots of cute and stylish items. Plenty of lace, leather, knit, mannish boots – all these make the range attractive for younger generation of buyers.

There are three main directions the designers went to make the Topshop Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 collection complete: Out of the Wild, Dark Nouveau and The Outsiders. Each is different but each comprises sexy, demure, wild and polished clothing – all together.

I’ve said millions of times that I hate socks in shoes but in Topshop Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 lookbook there are many of those and I have to admit I like them. They look perfect. Your thoughts?
