Fall/Winter 2008 Trend Report

1. Masculine Meets Feminine
The runways featured menswear prominently this Fall, with suiting at the forefront. This season's suits combine richly textured fabrics straight from Saville Row with ultra-femme details like luxurious linings and demure ruffles to once again prove that opposites really do attract.
 
 
3.1 Philip Lim
 
Zac Posen
 
Bill Blass

IGIGI’s structured, tailored work wear separates with ruffles, fishtails and other feminine details for a softened look will fit and flatter for a look you will not get enough of. Turn up the attitude at work in a suit this season, and show the world you can mean business while looking fabulous.

2. Purple Reign
Rich shades of plum, wine and berry ruled the season and graced gowns, blouses and accessories in both prints and solids. Finally, a way to enjoy some wine during the workday.

 
 
Bill Blass
 
Gucci
 
Michael Kors

Luscious shades of berry compliment almost every skin tone. Whether it’s a sassy colorblock dress or a luxe silk top, working shades of purple into your wardrobe will give you an instant style update.

3. Sexy Geometry
Math has never looked like so much fun. Sharp angles, clean lines and blocks of color add up to a chic look that makes this one style equation you’ll be dying to solve.
Jill Stuart
Jeremey Laing
Nicole Miller
Geometry is all about lines, angles and our favorite part, curves. We paired clean, simple silhouettes with angular color blocks so that your curves are simultaneously flattered and featured.

4. Shades of Gray
Difficult questions have complicated answers. So what’s the new neutral for fall? The answer isn’t black and white- it’s gray. Lots of gray. Designers flooded the runway with everything from pretty party dresses to sculpted suiting in tones ranging from dark charcoals to dove grays.

 
 
Celine
 
Calvin Klein
 
Rag & Bone

To make the most of this look, experiment with combining different textures and subtle prints for an avant-garde but modern tone on tone ensemble.

5. Amazing Lace
The ultimate in femininity, lace appeared all over the runway in sophisticated dresses that went from dark and sultry to light and innocent. Heavy brocades exemplified the tendency to express detail via texture, and the sweetly scalloped edges and delicate designs give these designs an added touch of elegance.
 
 
Prada
 
Erin Featherson
 
Oscar De La Renta

Some styles of lace dresses this season were more see-through that peek-a-boo, so we were sure to add lining worthy of being showcased. The combination of black lace and bright color is a sure winner, as is heavy lace detail on a simple black dress.

6. Flower Power
This season’s crop of prints are a far cry from the light, breezy, colorful florals of summer. Expect oversized, abstract prints in deep shades of brown, berry and black. The look for fall is both feminine and eclectic, so dare to pair these florals with textured fabrics like tweed, bouclé or velvet.

 
 
Derek Lam
 
Michael Kors
 
Behnaz Sarafpour

These original patterns are perfect way to keep fresh flowers on hand all winter long. We chose just the right print size that will best compliment a curvy body.

8. Ruffle Some Feathers
Whether you wear them outrageously oversized or simple and subtle, ruffles add a playful dose of femininity to your style. Ruffled blouses made a strong showing when worn with a smart skirt suit.
 
 
J. Mendel
 
Marchesa
 
Bill Blass

We added ruffle details at the neck to draw attention to the décolleté, neck and face, and trimmed cuffs with decorative details to accent otherwise sleek looks.

8. Double Take
Look again! Designers tricked us with polished, put-together looks that mimic well styled outfits, but have the simplicity of a dress. High-waisted pencil skirts met blouson tops, and two-toned knitwear imitated the look of a darling sweater set. The combinations reflected current trends in menswear looks and fabrics, but the result are dresses that are all woman.

 
 
Carolina Herrera
 
Chanel
 
Milly

We paired a high-waisted pencil skirt with Italian Georgette, silk dupioni with slinky knits, and crisp shirting with heavyweight stretch gabardine to give you a variety ways to wear this easy and flattering trend.

9. Back to Basics
Runways featured easygoing basics in muted tones for winter. To capture the separates trend, mix a lightweight blouse over a layering top with your suit pants, and add a skinny belt at your natural waist or a skinny scarf looped around your neck to accessorize. Plaids, tweeds, and herringbones are must-have fabrics.

IGIGI’s fashion must-haves are classic, and versatile. There’s nothing like the perfect button down shirt when you don’t know what to wear with your sassy new trousers, or the perfect wrap jacket layering top that skims your curves. Plaid has also become a runway staple, and makes a great statement piece in any wardrobe.

Fall/Winter Trend Watch 2006

Although it's still warm and sunny in some parts of the world, designers have been showcasing their Fall/Winter 2006 collections for a while now. I thought it was time I picked the five must-have looks the wardrobe of the fashionista awaits.

Draping Knits - Smart, comfortable and ultra flattering silhouettes make this trend the number one in my book. Ruching, draping, tucking and pleating effects will conceal any figure challenges and create interesting texture effect that will look smart and versatile.


Alexander McQueen


Derek Lam


Celine

For IGIGI Fall/Winter 2006 collection I designed the following looks:


History of Opulence
? Imagine sumptuous brocades, glistening diamonds and rich velvets of the Baroque period. Then fast forward to the lavishly decorated age of the Rococo style of the court of Marie Antoinette. And if this did not create enough of the feeling of opulence, then let's delve into the Neoclassical Period of Napoleon and Josephine's rule. This very exciting trend has been seen all-over the catwalks for the Fall/Winter 06 season and could be quite fun to wear for the eveningwear, or for the military inspired coats and jackets.


Dolce & Gabbana


Badgley Mischka


Ralph Lauren


Red Passion? Think Femme Fatale meets Carmen. This hot trend is a definite power statement that shined like an exclamation point among the neutrally toned color palettes this upcoming season. Wear it in all of its fabulous shades, from cherry reds to deeper hues.


Valentino


Lanvin


Nicole Farhi


Plaid Mad ? Pushing the envelope out of Scotland, tartan prints have taken all over the world. Designers have collectively played with this distinguished print to create anything from skirts to jackets to accessories to lingerie.


Marc by
Marc Jacobs


Bottega Veneta


Michael Kors


Luella



Grey Anatomy-Stock-up on this neutral alternative to black as it has been dominating the runways from Paris, Milan to New York and Los Angeles. Restrained, chic and edgy, the color of steel could be softened by knit jersey and work as a perfect backdrop to a multitude of different shades.


Burberry Prorsum


Atsuro Tayama


MaxMara

What Is IGIGI? (ee zhee zhee)
IGIGI specializes in sexy and sophisticated plus size clothing, with an emphasis on plus size formal wear and plus size dresses. We believe that words like "ample," "opulent," "curvaceous," and "voluptuous" should be mainstays in the fashion dictionary. It is important to accentuate and celebrate the beauty and sensuality of the female figure rather than cover it up with piles of fabric.
