Autumn for Every Age
Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s? There is a fall style statement for every age this autumn. Enjoy plaids, sharp cuts, folk finery, proper pieces and more!
The Highland Trend is FI’s choice for girlies in their 20s!
This is the perfect trend for a divine dose of English Country. Prepare to plaid – then add paisleys, checks, animal prints, tweeds and winter florals. A plethora of patterns is a must. The look can be cool and classic or a mad-cap mix that is young and fun. Don’t miss leather jackets, cozy knits, with a hand-worked feel, voluminous scarves, novelty hosiery, belts, boots and handbags in distressed, vintage style leathers.
Sharp Cuts is FI’s trend choice for working gals and moms in their 30s!
Sleek is chic and architectural shapes are the signature of this trend. Slim pant legs, the strong shoulder, stand collars, seaming and folding – all details that guarantee sophisticated style and often give looks that 80s edge. New synthetics, glossy surfaces, sturdy knits and interesting textures all tell the textile story. These streamlined silhouettes call for statement accessories – often one-of-a-kind looking items featuring bold gemstones, industrial metals shoes and bags that send a strong, linear message. Look for pieces that are both innovative and interesting.
Folk Finery is FI’s trend choice for women in their 40s!
Create a Bohemian tapestry inspired by India, Tibet, Russia and Eastern Europe. Embroideries, embellishments and “other world” textiles have a gypsy flare. Handcrafted luxe borders, fringe, sequins, stud, beads and pattern mixes create a fusing that is at the same time elegant and exotic. Folk finery “add-ons” will give any look an ethnic feel especially when paired with classic or more refined wardrobe items. Fringe necks, bangles, filigree jewelry, tapestry, embroidered and patchwork handbags and shoes are just a few of the amazing mixed media accessories that celebrate decorative detail.
The Prim & Proper is FI’s choice for sophisticated ladies in their 50s!
This trend offers delicious dressmaker details such as romantic flowers, bows, ruffles, tiers and draping. Elegant textiles like lace, lush wools, satin and charmeuse allow women to easily explore their feminine side. Add a twist to tradition and belt almost everything. Accessories are awesome: layers of freshly manipulated chains and pearls; bold cuffs; chandelier earrings; oversized, softly-structured satchels; ankle boots and fur, fur, fur. The season is sizzling and the classics have never looked better!
