2012's Fall Runway

After watching a lot of the AW 2012/13 catwalk shows live online, I gotta say, I really wanted to shove most of the outfits into my closet from now. Some great trends were taking over fashion weeks across the world, making me not want to wait until next season when it'll all hit the stores. So from all the looks I have put together some of the biggest trends seen on the runway for you guys to take a look for yourselves.

1. Military

First up we have the Military/Utilitarian trend. With the olive and black color mix, this was mostly given to us with a great heavy duty coat to give it the full look.

2. White

This fall we are leaving 'no white after labour day' in the past and hitting the streets with the monochromatic white that so many designers have presented to us. From sleek suit looks to full fur and boots, there is something for everyone.

3. Big Coats

Have to say this is one of my personal favorites from the load of trends coming out. Whether you prefer brights, pastels, or dark and heavy, they are coming out from every corner. (I'm love, love, loving the comfy, pastel pink Chloe coat)

4. Velvet

Seems this fall's favorite fabric has to be velvet - and by a far mile - with its instant luxurious feel. Taking a peek in subtle pieces and details, and showing off in gowns, this one has definitely hit all fashion weeks with a bang.
