The color range is quite wide this fall. From the dark and metallic colors of Sportmax and Gucci; plum, burgundy and dark blue, to bright colors such as yellow, red and turqoise showed by Marni and Jil Sander. Black, of course, is a fall color to rely on. Dolce & Gabbana used it together with créme-white, gold, and beautiful flower prints.

Just as with the colors, there’s a lot of different silhouettes this season. Emphasis is mostly on the waist, legs and shoulders. Wide pants and boxy jackets creates a square silhouette. Pencil skirts and belts, together with big, puffy shoulders forms a hourglass-shape.
