The tribal trend in Harpers Bazaar, March 2009
There was a notable Spring/Summer 2009 trend that focused on tribal and ethnic inspirations. Harpers Bazaar made use of the trend in their March 2009 editorial, 'Global Exotica'.
2009 Fall/Autumn Colour Trends from Pantone
Autumn (Fall) is a favourite season of mine, the cold is coming back and it's easier to start dressing in layers again without breaking out into a profuse sweating fit not unlike one achieved with a vigorous workout (well at least it seems like that in the Southern Hemisphere). That's enough of talk of sweat; what we're really here to talk about are the colour trends for 2009. Today's come courtesy of Pantone who have just released their color interpretation of the Autumn/Fall 2009 fashion trends.
The colours themselves reflect the tough economic times with a selection of an appealing pastel palette devoid of any of the overpowering statement tones we have seen in the past few years. The move away from the statement colours will help the clothes age at a slower rate and will help provide a safer purchase to allow a little more wear from your wardrobe during these times of economic instability.
The selection stays true to form of the past few years with a definite nature inspired overtones, but take a definite downshift from spring's richer resort holiday inspired colours. Noted in the report is even though the palette is diverse with a broad spectrum of colours they should still hold up to create a cohesive combination, which we guess is up to the designer.

Double denim fashion trend: it's fugly
Born in the middle of the decade I'm too young to remember any of its culture, instead preferring endless memories of Thomas The Tank Engine. That may be a lie actually, I do remember part of the culture. I remember perms. I remember mullets. I remember a plethora of crimes committed against my young eyes by baby boomers who should have known better (though that generation aren't exactly known for getting anything right). And amongst those heinous crimes which aided the development of my acute sense of loathing all things 80s is double denim.
Which brings me to some terrible news dear readers: double denim is back.
But there's hope. There's hope that we've caught it soon enough. There's hope that we can show people the error of their ways before double denim spreads. And Fashionising.com is going to lead the charge: normally fully behind the majority of fashion trends and micro-trends, we're labelling the double denim fashion trend the major faux pas amongst all of 2009's fashion trends and 2010's fashion trends.
