The Architectural Silhouette

Sculptured Shapes

The new silhouette shape for Autumn 2008 shows an architectural leaning. This is a fashion trend to seriously follow.

These new architectural silhouettes create striking new shapes which often have the appearance of moulded forms.

The SHAPE of things to come.

Coats

Coats, and in particular jackets, have a sculpted feel. This effect is made more noticeable by the blank canvas effect of strong rich solid colours, such as teal, purple and orange.

Three main coat styles are vying for attention as the hottest fashion trend this winter.

Loose Coats with Undefined Waistlines

Coats frequently have looseness with easy shoulder lines and capacious sleeves. This loose style is also perfect for fur materials. Trends in collars suggest high funnel stands, shawl collars, large flat collars, geometric cowls, or fur trims which give this style its precision. Here is a classic opportunity for buying a statement fashion coat.
