Pre-Fall Fashions from WWD

Trends of FALL 2008
1. Long Gloves

Want to wear your short sleeves in the cold? Next fall you can! Arm accessories will be in and long gloves are at the top of the list.

2. Fur

For some reason we all seem to be turning slowly into Russians. Despite the efforts of CAAF, dead animal skins will be as valuable as the first traders who trapped them. Mmm. Mountain men.

3. Slated Colors

To accessorize the disappearing Caucasian, designers have found a palate of metallic grays, blacks, blues, and purples to make money on. Buy your silver accessories now, girls.

4. Crushed Velvet

Forget your preconceived notions of medieval gowns and embrace crushed velvet.

5. Limited florals

It's like the beginning of the 70's threw up on the bottom of your clothes and since it's not all-over-print, for some reason I think it looks kind of cute.
